Welcome to my thread on drafting Dungeons and Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms! This is a set meant to replace the core set for 2021 and it's an above average set in terms of complexity/gameplay. Balance is pretty decent but has some flaws, especially in BO1 #MTGDND 
Feel free to use my draft tierlist at Deathsie.com which I update daily. I'm very happy with where it's at and can be a tool for you to get a second opinion! For ease of access while drafting, the cards are ordered by mana value (not by best-to-worst) within each tier
Rule number one of #MTGDND is to go first. Going first is incredibly important in this format due to the lack of small removal and the aggressive statline of early game creatures. Going second often costs you 6-9 life from a 2 mana 3/1 and being prone to 3 mana removal spells
New D&D expansion #MTGDND brings d20 rolls toMagic. Here is how to look at these random effects and my thoughts on some of the cards. Firstly, majority of the cards have 1-9 as baseline effect, 10-19 as bonus and 20 as a large success leading to these percentages: 1/x
Good Magic players tend to maximise deterministic outcomes, and even with die rolls, it is to some extent possible. To get there, Pixie Guide lets you roll more dice and chose the highest outcome: 2/x
How does it change outcomes? By quite a lot. Having a Pixie Guide more than halves the probability of lowest outcome, and nearly doubles the probability of rolling a 20, which usually comes with large bonus. The 10-19 outcome increases to 70% - which is much more reliable. 3/x

The only piece I illustrated for the D&D crossover, this was a difficult but very rewarding packaging piece, and I was more than happy to paint my boy Xanathar again! It might be the only, but I feel I made it count. Thread ->

Might not be the best idea to share the exact briefs, so here's my short version. Was also approached to paint an actual Xani card but... last summer was tough. I did good work for Strix but fam and work stuff burned me out. Needed time away. It's a bit of a shame because ->
D&D is much closer to my heart than MTG, actually have experience paying it/ttrpgs. but like I said, this was a large image that speaks to the heart of rpg adventuring, so no regrets. I needed that time to rest. Here's my very rough pencil sketches:
