Creatures win limited matches. No more than 5 non creature spells (count things like {gather the townsfolk} as a creature spell). At least 17 if not 18 land if your having low success rates. Your cuvre and double colored cards ({spectral knight} and {dreadbrige goliath}) should be at bare minimum as should 5 and higher costed cards.

B.R.E.A.D.
Mock Draft Apps are excellent. Besides just practicing your picking, it also gives you ratings on each card and why. It has noticeably increased my win ratio.
Whats B.R.E.A.D. stand for?

I've done fairly well with small creatures, usually 2/2 bears, and snag all the removal I can. I can't tell you how many decks I've built that did so baf becauze of removal. It's the most important thing in limited IMO.

Small creatures with important effects classify as bombs, as well. {Talrand, Sky Summoner} was a bomb, for example.

I only have three words for you: Have a plan.

If you record each of your draft picks and post a draft deck, then I can help you in far greater detail.

I think people get confused when you say "have a plan." I mean its pretty vague. I know when I was very inexperienced, I chose 2-3 colors and only drafted those colors (I was 12 :/ )

I don't think you have to commit to anything until a couple picks into pack 2, you should be noticing trends, no x color cards, wtf is this awesome removal spell being passed, etc.

In terms of limited RTR, I find rakdos (unleashed mechanic) to be the best Aggro deck. Everytime someone gets 3-4 burn/removal spells with rakdos, it seems to be the toughest deck to beat,

Good luck man.
