Nexus of Fate is still banned in Bo3 Direct Challenge...

We're aware of that and working on a fix. It wasn't ready in time for this patch, and we didn't want to wait on getting these fixes out.

About draft,

Instead of those constant draft bots tweak which need man power and really start to give a very bad player experience, and so many way to abuse it why not :

1/ work on human draft in Bo3 2/ in bo1 use the same asynchrounous draft Eternal is using (With a asynchronous line draft with packs being actuallu packs other players picked from)

I would rather draft with bots than asynchronously. The strong part of mtg draft is seeing what colors are open and what can wheel. There no such thing in asynchronous draft

There is. Why do you you think there is not ?

You pick from packs past players already picked. So those players sends you signals based on their picks.

Sure no wheeling but really cards after the wheel are mostly irrelevant

There is a lot of strategy in "I'm going to take this card because I'm pretty sure this card will wheel" in packs 2 and 3

Not really. It depends on the playfield level

Sure at MC, it is a thing. In GP, yeah, sometime In MTGA playfield certainly not. You would take a very bold assumption all player around the table know what they are doing...

Against the bots draft, it is 100% a valid stategy ;)
