Recursion allows to focus your deck and actually have a strategy.
Even when you don't initially draw the über-boosters.

I don't argue in favor of unfocused decks, don't get me wrong. I'm just saying, that being a lucky ass doubles in recursion drafts. You have to build focused decks in draft, that's for sure. And you are perfectly able to do that with 9 boosters (which are around 81 library cards, which you cut down to about 40-45). If you are lucky enough to draft 2-4 bounce or bleed-reducing cards (or what is your favored card) you have a strong advantage if you get it once again compared to the chap, who missed those cards.

Some may argue it's people's own fault if they missed them. But often enough it's a matter of luck if you have such cards in your initial booster or not. Luck is already a strong enough factor for draft (compared to constructed games). We don't have to maximize it even more.

(OTOH I have been always lucky in drafts so far. So let's do the recursion thing .)

Jesus, how vain can a man be ? I hope we meet at the table that I can show you how skilled YOU are .

Oh, I'm perfectly aware of that. It's time to get him back to earth me think .
