The Scuffle System ranks all the cards on a scale of 1-10 and is meant to be a guideline to help you draft your deck the way you like to play.
These scores are flexible between a Floor and Ceiling value based on their raw power and the cards you have around them. The Difficulty refers to how much context you need to make the card strong for your specific limited deck. Check out the full document here.
Your goal as a drafter is to max out your score, and think carefully how the value of your cards change based on the flow of your draft. Sometimes it will be too difficult to make a card work, and sometimes the right home can get a card up to a 10.
These scores are updated weekly for the first month of a format, to reflect the changing metagame of Tarkir: Dragonstorm Draft.
If you have more questions or want to see me tackling this set all the way through Mythic in MTG Arena, stop by Twitch.tv/ScuffleDLux or the TheGathering.gg Discord any time.
