Guide for BNG Draft/Sealed

[Agrus Kos, Enforcer of Truth]

I thought it would be nice to have a guide all in one place for each set. Please post your opinions. What are the best cards to draft? Good archetypes (not like {Archetype of Imagination}, like deck types)? Any other helpful tips?

{R}{B} worked well for me. Swarm the ground with small guys and have all the removal you could ever want, then land a fatty to win.

Make sure you draft more chumps if you go azorious krakens

I played {G}{B} and it was terrible. Pulled a Hydra and some goodie 3/3's that ETB and gain life equal to devotion to green, but it didn't help me much. Not enough combos.

Got smashed by {R}{W}, and mono {W} heroic.

I went Blue/Green went 0-4

{R}{B} can be a powerhouse in constructed

blue/x flyers has proven really powerful for me. the inspired draw a card 2/2 has drawn me so many cards. blue green is really strong because you can have ground fatties and blue black is great if you get a few {lash of the whip} {sip of hemlock} {asphyxiate}.

Draft wise, it depends what you open. I did good going g/w..   Drafted heroic and targeting.. Beat down. Best used cards were  {Courser of Kruphix},   {Setessan Oathsworn} with  {Mortal's Ardor} or  {Mortal's Resolve}, and  {Ornitharch},  {Ghostblade Eidolon}..  I hate drafted  {Archetype of Imagination}- that the one archetype that I feel can do some major damage.
Sealed, i was happy with w/g twice and r/b once.  Few good black cards are {Necrobite},  {Spiteful Returned}

I'll be drafting later today using Nyx,born, and theros, I like playing red/black so what are the key cards I should look for??

well first off i would say dont force black red. i mean if you open bombs on those colors and keep getting passed good commons and uncommons, then sure go black red. but while rares win drafts you need good commons and uncommons to survive to that point. so look at the signals, what strong colors do you get passed from one side and what is missing from most packs? try to stay away from the colors your neighbors are playing. and to answer your question, i think the strongest red black deck is still minotaurs. the deathtouch minotaur in journey into nyx is a good start and {minotaur skullcleaver} are really fast and do work. you definitely want a lot of burn spells like {magma jet} {lightning strike} {rage of purphorous}. also with black you get kill spells {pharika's cure}, {sip of hemlock}, maybe a {hero's downfall}.

Ok thx for the tip

I ran RG splashing for double {fleet feather cockatrice} which won me a draft.

I've run B/W twice. Placed second both times. It does well with things like  {Akroan Skyguard} and now  {Dawnbringer Charioteers} targeted by  {Observant Alseid} and other enchantment creatures. Lots of removal in those colors, and good bodies with solid abilities like  {Scholar of Athreos} and {Nyx-Fleece Ram} . And plus the constellation abilities are abundant and put to good use.
