I played a AVR 4322 yesterday and had a very strange draft where the number of creatures in each pack felt very, very low. No packs had more than 8 creatures, and most had between 0 and 2, generally of the ‘unplayable’ variety.

Here’s the breakdown of packs with the number of creatures available. The third pack was positively barren.

P1P1 – 6 Creatures
P1P2 – 8 Creatures
P1P3 – 2 Creatures
P1P4 – 4 Creatures
P1P5 – 5 Creatures
P1P6 – 0 Creatures
P1P7 – 4 Creatures
P1P8 – 2 Creatures
P1P9 – 1 Creature
P1P10 – 2 Creatures
P1P11 – 1 Creature
P1P12 – 1 Creature
P1P13 – 0 Creatures
P1P14 – 0 Creatures

P2P1 – 7 Creatures
P2P2 – 5 Creatures
P2P3 – 8 Creatures
P2P4 – 5 Creatures
P2P5 – 2 Creatures
P2P6 – 1 Creature
P2P7 – 2 Creatures
P2P8 – 3 Creatures
P2P9 – 1 Creature
P2P10 – 2 Creatures
P2P11 – 2 Creatures
P2P12 – 1 Creature
P2P13 – 0 Creatures
P2P14 – 0 Creatures

P3P1 – 4 Creatures
P3P2 – 5 Creatures
P3P3 – 4 Creatures
P3P4 – 6 Creatures
P3P5 – 1 Creature
P3P6 – 3 Creatures
P3P7 – 1 Creature
P3P8 – 2 Creatures
P3P9 – 1 Creature
P3P10 – 0 Creatures
P3P11 – 0 Creatures
P3P12 – 0 Creatures
P3P13 – 0 Creatures
P3P14 – 0 Creatures

I’m noticed that in AVR I generally have a terrible creature count after pack 1 (taking as much tasty tasty removal as possible) and have to scramble for creatures in packs 2 and 3. It may well be the case where creature priority is a must in picks 1-8 with spells as a pickup picks 9-14.

Curious if others are seeing the same things.
