#67 - Drafting with Bots

ONE Quick Draft is available on Arena now and it may be a good idea to play a couple of those, as they will offer you a fresh look on the format. Why? The bot and human metagame are sufficiently different from each other to offer a slightly different experience.   I talk about what is special about bot draft and offer some advice on how to abuse those differences for your benefit. How to conceptually approach bot draft and in what ways it is a different form of Magic.   Color power in a format is a combination of card power and card availability, and as far as the power doesn't change, the availability does. In what ways in ONE bot draft different? Which colors, strategies, cards are more and less available and what does it mean for you?
