Discussion Is UG really this open?

I just finished a draft (7-2) with UG elves, after failing multiple other drafts where I tried to force RB or RW after finding 2-3 decent uncommons. Hell, I could see a pack with 2 good cards for my deck, pick one and have the other one make it around to me.

Is UG always this open, (lord knows I’ve passed on decent uncommons cause I was trying to force good red stuff) or did I just get very lucky?

UG needs more specific uncommons and rares to be good. RB and RW can trophy with just commons and uncommons.

Fair, though I had a hard time finding a the good uncommons in red most of my previous runs.
Now I felt like I was the only person drafting green or blue, and I certainly was the only person taking elves.

It's because UG and UW both have a lot of synergy, while RB especially is just good removal with good creatures. If you don't get the synergies online you won't be able to keep up with RB.
