Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#161: Right homes for right cards in EOE draft (based on 17Lands data)
Q: How to recognize good cards from those that are piggybacking early in the format?
The drop in wind rate of cards piggybacking is more dramatic than that of genuinely good cards.
#147: Right homes for Aetherdrift cards in draft
Q: Have you got any tips on how to use 17lands.com to get better at drafting apart from looking at the win rate of the cards?
Approach the data with specific questions based on your experiences in the format, rather than exploring it without a clear hypothesis.
#143: Birthday Q & A
Q: What is the most common mistake people make when looking at 17 Lands data?
People often look for simple answers to complex questions and don't understand the context or variations in data metrics.
#143: Birthday Q & A
Q: How should we go about applying 17 Lands data to our drafting in a high-level pod versus on Arena?
You need bespoke analysis for high-level pods; applying top player data requires understanding your level and skill to maximize card effectiveness.
#142: Early 17Lands.com draft data for Pioneer Masters
Q: I'm wondering how much mulliganning hurts your win rate.
A lot; there's a 15 percentage point drop in win rate when taking a mulligan.
