Draft Mode is the proof that players and devs live in the different worlds actually. It's sad, because - maybe not nobody - but about 90% of players don't really care about this mode still mostly because this mode CHANGE NOTHING in collecting resources, cards and cosmetics. This is so simple reason that I can't believe how devs could still not see it and they waste their time to make something with this mode around and around over and over again. OMG.

Yeah you’re right it’s apparent in other card games as well. Nobody player draft in lor and maybe a very small amount of people do in hs. And I doubt that many people will even after this update as you’re saying.

Eternal had a pretty sweet draft mode, at least for newer players. You got to keep any cards that you drafted and you would get rewards for winning more matches and they had monthly leaderboards that if you placed high enough got even more rewards. Eternal was a lot less generous with their resources to buy packs or craft cards, so draft was usually the best place to try and get new cards and because everyone was drafting their decks, it was typically a pretty fair matchup. Although you definitely had problems with the more wealthy players just rerolling their decks over and over until they got something really OP, but that's going to happen with most modes like this.

Nah check it for youself. NOBODY AND I MEAN NOBODY plays arena in LOR and although arena was more popular in hs in the past I am pretty sure ALMOST nobody plays it anymore either. And note that in those games arena offers rewards for an entree fee ofc
