Suggestion: in my opinion, the following would greatly improve the game implementation
Detailed description
• Please explain your suggestion precisely and concisely so that it's as easy as possible to understand what you mean.
Drafting the deck is a major balancing act before starting, as players can find themselves with extremely synergistic cards at times vs no synergies other times when cards are dealt randomly.• What is your browser?

Mind that I'm not saying we should force it, only that it becomes the default instead of "get random things that wother screw you over or make you win without thinking". Drafting makes the game much more balanced and strategic plus teaches people to think about what they'll end up playing while picking the cards to begin with.

22. Feb 2021 10:29 • The author says in the rules, "Draft Variants. After you become reasonably familiar with the artifacts, you may wish to try these variants."
1) The Normal Mode is without drafting. We should not change that.
2) The author clearly states the reason: you need to be reasonably familiar with the artifacts beofre you start drafting.
If you want to draft, just select that option.

You can simply update your preference to avoid matchmaking with first game in the lobby.

28. Jun 2021 16:15 • This is an interesting thread. I'm fairly new to the game and I think playing normal mode first was not the best experience. I actually didn't like the game at all until I discovered draft, which seems to be an integral part of the strategy in the game. Now I love it.
