The Throne of Eldraine release last week heralded the beginning of a new era for Eternal. Building on the foundation laid by Dominaria and Ixalan, we are now in an age where each set is legal for play immediately following its release! This means that there will be much more dynamic metagames as new cards enter the format alongside older ones. As such, it becomes increasingly important to have a plan when drafting. To help with this task, we’ve put together our first draft tier list for Throne of Eldraine!
Draft Tier List:
Tier 0: White, Black, and Blue cards. These are the best of the best when it comes to Throne of Eldraine draftable cards. Cards like Pearly Dementia or Erase from Reality will be worth first picks if you can get them!
Tier I: Green and Red cards that were solid in previous sets but haven’t yet shown themselves as top tier material for this format. Vengeful Wilds is a fine card to include here.
Tier II: The rest of the colors have some playable commons/uncommons at their disposal but they pale in comparison to other color tiers. You’re not going wrong by taking these early on- just don’t expect much from them.
Tier II: These are cards that will often be taken as filler, and can help you get to 30 points quickly if you’re in a bind. Cards like Fiery Embrace or Hunting Pack don’t have much value beyond their point cost but they’ll do the job for now!
Takeaway: I hope this article helped explain our thoughts on Throne of Eldraine draft tier list content and how colors stack up against one another when it comes to deckbuilding! Remember- your first pick should always go to whichever color is available; then branch out from there based on what’s left at your table! Good luck drafting everyone 🙂
Numbering or bullet points optional !! (but probably helpful) !

Drafting an Eldraine Token:
In the table below, you will find a list of all of the basic tokens available in Throne of Eldraine. There are two columns showing which color backs each token’s mana cost- one on the left is blue (B) and green (G), while the other column is red (R) and white (W). On top of this information, we’ve included what type(s) that particular card belongs to. Finally, at the bottom there’s a bit more detailed explanation for how they work! ~~ Numbering or bulletpoints optional!! but probably helpful ! ~~”
