Recently i have been going 0-3 in gauntlet and i believe i am drafting fine, is it my play style (am i not being aggressive enough?) or maybe i shouldn’t be drafting the way i am. I just started a new run so i might upload my games for analyzation.
Tips on getting better on gauntlet
Memorization
Learning what every single card in this game does is optimal but not realistic
Take a look at the meta lists to find the strongest cards
Look especialy at commons and rares there as these are rather easy to get in gauntlet
Than play around these cards(though there are some cards that mostly only see play in gauntlet like dancing blades)
Taking removal usualy always has first priority
You should priorize clearing the board over going face…this isn,t constructed,it is very unlikely that you have acces to huge burst that can help you close out the game after you lost all boardcontrol because you just focused on the enemys face
Keep in mind which cards your opponent is most likely to play and make sure that your important minions don,t trade into killing range of those cards
Try to get some burstcards to be able to close out games
Keep in mind that most of the time you should replace something each turn before you do anything else(unless your hand is perfect ofcource or you are going to play something like kron that benefits from replaces)
GET SOME PINGS.If you don,t have pings ragnora and reva are going to eat you alive just with their BBs alone
Overall positional stuff that you are highly likely to do wrong right now given that you are a new player.Don,t get discouraged by losing…duelyst is realy niche and gauntlet even more so,it is very ikely to face players with 1000+ hours there on a regular basis

He is not a new player, though he may be new to gauntlet.
not really new, just started playing again after a break, im pretty good at drafting since I draft in MTG quite a bit but it might be experience in gauntlet…
Unless you have some sort of game ending rush (like spec rev) or all mighty combo (like c.spear and spiral tech) then it’s probably just that. The beauty of gauntlet is that the oppenent won’t always have that lethal next turn, so you take your chance and set up thqt kill. (Wasteful trades are always discouraged, but you should know when not to do it)
