cheers tom - thats the kind of advice i'm looking for. although i just drafted lots of red online - shit

Red is all wins all over. Unless you play everything backwards like I just did against wei.

It looks like there's a lot of strong white but it never really seems to get anywhere. I've lost most consistently to mono black or black splashing. All that damned removal.

Good article from LSV in which he happens to say:

"Red is really shallow of course, and I wouldn’t recommend looking at it for main color status most of the time. It does have some sick cards, but the depth of the commons makes it tough for you to go too heavy Red."

Manual B's article with pick orders was interesting.

TOM: note how he agrees with me about the looter and the 3/4.

tom i think your mate olivier would disagree with your opinion on m10 red. Bombs aside, i watched him 3rd pick a panic attack, and along with multiple jackal pups, lightning elementals and fiery hound drafted what closest resembles an all-in aggro deck.

Therefore the last thing I would not recommend (generally) is to go Red. Red has extremely powerful Rares and Uncommons, but its commons are just too weak.
