With the release of #MTGAFR nearing, I felt it appropriate to wrap up and look back on what overall was one of my 'better' formats, #MTGSTX BO3 #draft. At the moment of writing this, I am holding the 40th spot on the @17Lands leaderboard with 27🏆 and a 76,2% MWR.

@17Lands I played 63 events. 47 on college with or without a slight splash, 16 in a straight up 3 color wedge and 1 allied color pair. I sadly never got into the patented @samuelhblack 'Dimir-mindset' and am a big proponent of staying on-college due to the presence of gold cards.
As a true @Chord_o_Calls student, I played W based aggro >50% of my drafts. Driven by W having 6 B-level commons that were undervalued throughout the format. Whether I ended up LH or SQ was mostly driven by either R (debate) or B (hunt) commons going late.
Let's break down every color and college by top-commons for #MTGSTX Draft.
Remember, it's early and these evaluations are likely to change. Furthermore, mono-colored and hybrid cards will be evaluated for P1P1, gold cards will be evaluated assuming you're in that deck.

White:
1. Combat Professor
2. Study Break
3. Guiding Voice
Honorable mention: Pilgrim of the Ages
White isn't particularly deep at common, but it's still good when open. It shouldn't be aggro as much as you think, often because of Pilgrim of the Ages and Rise to Extus.

Blue:
1. Bury in Books
2. Serpentine Curve
3. Pop Quiz
Honorable Mention: Frost Trickster
Frost Trickster doesn't generate card advantage nor fit with what blue is doing. It's a good card, but I don't think it should be prioritized. Curve and Quiz go nicely together.

You may notice a complete lack of white and black cards (excluding WB hybrid), and that all of the top 5 cards are blue. This isn't necessarily because the black and white cards are bad, but rather that I've found the Temur colors to be open WAY MORE than black or white.

Basically, I expect to be Prismari or Quandrix in over 75% of my drafts, so I adjust how I'm picking cards to reflect that. Because they overlap with the color blue, I draft blue cards like they're colorless, which is what puts Bury in Books ahead of Heated Debate.
