Draftsim Publishes Marvel Super Heroes Draft Guide With 17lands-Based Rankings Update After 2 Weeks

Summary
Two weeks into Marvel Super Heroes Limited, Draftsim released an updated draft guide built from play experience, creator analysis and 17lands data, revising common, uncommon and rare rankings across the set.
17lands results underpin the guide’s biggest conclusion: white and blue are the strongest colors, red is the weakest, and heroes generally outclass villains in a creature-heavy format shaped by board stalls and flying.
Hero in Training, S.H.I.E.L.D. Spy Kit, Trickster's Stratagem and Justice, Vance Astrovik were highlighted as major overperformers, while cards such as Construct a Cosmic Cube, Doom Reigns Supreme and The Sentry were downgraded.
The guide argues Marvel Super Heroes has soft archetypes rather than rigid lane drafting, pushing players toward raw card quality, micro-synergies and frequent splashes enabled by cyclers, dual lands and mana-fixing artifacts.
Despite calling the format poorly balanced, Draftsim said it remains one of the year’s more enjoyable Limited environments because combat decisions, racing and flexible deckbuilding matter more than preset archetype scripts.
