Two-Creature Prismari deck is very different than a, you know, super low-curve Silverquill deck, which is very different than a full-on soup, but creature and whatever kind of deck.

And your cards that are good against one are not good against the other and vice versa.

You know, like the Format of Thoughtseize or like a Cancel or a Negative Variant would be good against one and not the other and so on.

So, yeah.

Um, I don't play as my best of three when I'm not prepping for the pro tour and I, I miss it a little bit.

You know, there's definitely times where I was like, man, I just lost this deck and like, we just play best three.

I would definitely win the next two games, you know?

Uh, but definitely very, very different.

Definitely agree with your sentiment that it's like a pretty different game overall.

Not to say it's a bad game or like a worse game, but it is definitely a little more volatile.

I need to be kind of aware of the swings at times, which, which happened.

It's also, it's a very different experience drafting with seven other excellent drafters than a random arena pod, where some folks who don't know, when you're drafting an arena, your pod is a random selection of seven players who hit the button at the same time you did.

So even if you're in Mythic, you might have a bronze player to your left, a silver player to your right.

It's just a random assortment.

So when you have a pod like that, say you have three bronze players who were just in their first draft, or it's just...

whatever reason they're not taking the right cards or they're missing things, you know, so players actually really juiced up.

That doesn't happen in a high quality pro tour caliber pod where you're not going to get that fourth pick stock up or whatever, you know, like, or you're not going to, you know, you're going to slide to an archetype, you're going to cooperate with your, you know, whatever it is, you know, so the decks will be a little scrappier in pro tour drafts where you're, you know, trying to find that

23rd card that really fits your deck properly.

A lot of the limited meetings about that kind of like, okay, what cards are not necessarily the best overall, but can be used in profitable ways.

So when the draft does get scrappy, I can have the right tools to win anyway is a big part of limited discussion for pro tours.
