They're small corrections that are complicated to include. I don't worry about the 1/8th of the time you open a mythic or the 1/15 of the time you open a R/M wildcard (only in reward packs).You'll always have the chance to take at least 3 Rares/Mythics, and most drafts you'll end up with a few. Sometimes more than 3, sometimes less, but it should average out to 3 unless you're rare-drafting more heavily than everyone else, which you should definitely NOT do in a Draft Challenge. ![]() Mainly, this is so we can accurately compare Sealed events with Draft events, but it's a good approximation. I count build packs (the packs you draft) as 20 gems.Also, all three things just end up as more wildcards, and if you're a serious drafter, wildcards have little value to you - either you don't play constructed or you already have plenty. I ignore the other benefits from reward packs (extra wildcards, extra vault, extra progress on wildcard track) as they don't contribute to you doing more drafts.I assume the perspective of a drafter who plans on completing the rare set (both normal and archives), so I count each reward pack as 20 gems.It's a given that you'll eventually be able use all your Player draft tokens. Convert all the gold rewards to gems at a ratio of 6.666 to 1, and then convert the player draft tokens to 1500 gems.Unlike the Open there's no currency involved so we don't need to worry about tax rates. Here's my assumptions: How best to compare these two? You want to get everything in terms of gems. The prize structure for this new Draft Challenge is completely different, though the tournament structure is the same as before: 6 wins before 2 losses, Best of 3 (aka Traditional) Draft. Check out the table below to compare them. So this is a first, and I personally hope it'll be a trend moving forward - every new set gets a Sealed Open and a Draft Challenge. ![]() They've only offered one Draft Challenge ever, it was 6 months ago and they haven't mentioned it since, and it was for a remastered set, not a standard one. I didn't expect to be back so soon after my article analyzing the Sealed Arena Open, but I don't think anyone expected Wizards to offer a Draft Challenge for Strixhaven from May 22nd-25th.
