Week 3 of Aetherdrift is here, and the format continues to evolve! Here are the latest highlights:

🔥 Rakdos on the Rise: Multiple limited content creators are high on Black/Red, and the stats back it up—it’s one of the strongest archetypes right now.

🌿 Green Still Strong but More Contested: As more players draft Green, its win rate is dropping slightly, opening up opportunities in other colors.

⚪ White’s Resurgence: Once the least-played color, White has been quietly improving week by week and now boasts some of the best-performing archetypes.
