Draft Strategy Guide
To succeed in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles draft, focus on these key principles:
- Prioritize quality removal (tier S and A) in early picks - cards that answer threats win games
- Read signals: if a color is open (strong cards at pick 3-5), move into that color
- Build a solid mana curve: aim for 6-8 creatures at 2-3 mana and 2-3 cards at 5+ mana
- Look for creatures with evasion (flying, trample, menace) to close out games
- Play 17 lands in most decks (16 if your curve is very low, 18 if you have many 5+ mana cards)
