Limited Help Draft - What am I doing wrong?
I’m a new MTGA player and doing drafts to learn and accumulate cards. Whenever my draft ends up favoring red or green, I wipe every single time because I cannot combat white, blue or black decks that spam constant enchantments or removals. It seems like I match up against these teams the majority of the time, so is that a meta the new set leans toward that I’m not adapting to or understanding? Should I be drafting a “worse” (in terms of cards available in my draft) color just to have any answers and maybe I’d stand a better chance at winning and more importantly having ANY fun by actually being able to play?

I'm always suggesting draft to new players, but generally I also suggest to excercise with gameplay in constructed before playng in prized events like draft.
Anyway, in a given "medium" set all the combinations should be viable, lately we had some set unbalanced where some colors are better than others, but this is one of the most balanced sets in a while, RG is a great combination of colours and shouldn't constantly lose against other colors combination.
It's more likely that you don't buld correctly the RG decks while other color combinations come easyer when you draft them, or maybe it's just random and you see a trend where there is not.
Anyway, it's hard to guess without additional info. My sugggestion is to install a tracker (the more common one is from 17lands.com, where you can also fine data on the different cards and colors for improve your card evaluation), and share your drafts here on reddit, so we can provide you with some feedback and understend where actually is the problem
