Initial impressions of the Dragons of Tarkir Draft format

So the first MTGO Dragons of Tarkir drafts are in the books. What did we learn from them?

• The format seems slow.
• You can probably get away with a light splash of a third color (though two color decks is the norm) BUT remember that good color fixing is now a thing of the past.
• 18 lands are good as you always have stuff to do with excess mana (pay Megamorph costs, for example)
• You have to be able to deal with huge flyers as they are everywhere.
• Blue black seems to be the strongest color combination. Card drawing exploit creatures are the bread and butter of this deck.
• Red white could be the next best color combination.
• Avoid Green if you can as Green is very weak in FRF
• Removal is better than in KTK-KTK-FRF draft.
• Black is possibly the best color
• Pacifism is as strong as ever. 

It is still extremely early in the format so all of these things can easily change or be wrong.
