While constructing a deck from your personal, pre-leveled collection is the standard way to play, it often leads to a stale, repetitive meta.
You cannot rely on overleveled cards or muscle memory from playing the same deck for two years.
Drafting Priorities
If you reach the end of the draft and your deck has no reliable way to damage the enemy tower, you have already lost the match.
Always ask yourself: “If I give this card to my opponent, do I have a counter for it in the cards I have already drafted?”
- Don’t get caught defenseless.
- Drafting a building (like a Cannon or Tesla) is usually a very safe choice.
- Guaranteed damage is invaluable.
Drafting for the Enemy
Try to identify what kind of deck they are accidentally building, and feed them cards that completely ruin that synergy.
Their average elixir cost will skyrocket, their hand will be completely clogged, and they will be unable to defend your cheap, fast attacks.
