For day 2 of preparations, I listened through to the green C&U so I'm done for black and red at the moment.
I read a nice article on channelfireball which introduced the heroic draft archetype.
The archetype sounds strong to play unless your opponent has cheap removal to gun down targets which does not seem to likely at this point in time. I am under the impression that 1 damage and -1/-1 effects would not be popular to play early on.
I look forward to drafting the archetype during my preparations. I prefer going into drafts looking to draft a deck than to have a group of cards.
Also, triple set draft is very good for fringe draft archetypes. In the old Ravnica, there was the aura deck with the drake that bounced auras. In Kamigawa there was an arcane mill deck. I hope to find something similar in Theros so that I can get through the team draft portion without heavy resistance. That sort of archetype would probably show itself at the later part of my testing.
To get into a "study Magic" mode is surprisingly difficult after such a long time of not having had to do so.
Constructed is much easier on that front. I guess I might have to get fewer foil promo Underground Seas than expected to fund testing. =(
