The Ultimate Guide to Khans of Tarkir Draft - Draftsim
draftsim.com
Greetings planeswalkers! With Khans of Tarkir coming back to Arena this week, I thought it’d be good to do a quick recap guide for the format. Given the nine years of power creep that have taken place since the set’s release, I imagine that playing Khans will feel pretty awkward today.

KTK is coming back to Arena! TL;DR on draft strategy:

There are a couple of ways you can try to approach Khans of Tarkir drafting. My favorite strategy is to position myself for a 5c/good stuff pile early on, then move into a specific archetype/clan if I keep getting passed good cards.

Some of the best strategies from the Draftsim guide:

  • BWr Warriors
  • Simic Bear Punch
  • Ugx Morphs
  • BGx Toughness Matters
  • Practically any clan combination
  • MikeA

    I never drafted KTK and I was taking a break from Magic when this set came out but I am legitimately interested to rip draft after draft of this and fail pretty spectacularly at first but ultimately be able to compete. This set look way more fun than the recent sets, even LTR.

    I have not drafted KTK before so I really needed this guide; thanks for sharing it.

    In doing practice drafts on Draftsim, one thing I’ve noticed is that my mana curve often seems shockingly high. I’m not sure whether I’m undervaluing the two-drops or whether this is just a much slower format than I’m used to.
