I just went to a FNM draft event for the first time since Worldwake came out (so like 2010). Drafted a westvale Abby, which is worth like $6, so the trip partially paid for itself.
I went 0-2 vs both of my first two opponents, and then the 3rd guy I was supposed to play quit I guess since he and I were just playing for last place lol. However, I also played two fun games with my draft deck and won with over 30 life each time, confirming that I was getting some really shitty draws in games that counted (even my practice hands were decent like every time, really bad luck when it counted).
Playing casual multi-player drafts /w friends has really taught me a lot of bad habits. My mana curve was way too late-game oriented, and I generally am used to multiplayer politics when playing, aka very slow games without much attacking.
I need pro-tips kold.
Pro tip #1: don't listen to me
Now that that's out of the way, it's insanely common for your 0-2 opponent to not want to play since it's pointless. Hell I personally will quit if I lose round 1 since I'm staying for at least 2 more hrs to win a single pack.
In alot of games life total doesn't matter too much, probably matters more in limited tho. But in say like standard, life total literally means jack shit atm since there's so little to no reach being played (burn, haste, etc)
Uh I have only drafted like twice this set. Really dislike it atm. Will Probsbly start drafting again when eldritch moon releases.
Your casual friends are the worst kind of magic players bruh. When I go to an fnm and play standard, playing casuals that don't play is the absolute worst. Pretty much expected to win vs some jank deck that probably sucks. So embarrassing

Oh and "wanna friendly mulligan?"
I'm like wut
