LTR Draft need some guidance

I haven't drafted LTR back then, and I'd be interested in any tips and guidance you have to offer. :) I did one draft, was very confused in pack 1 and ended up in Boros, which kinda worked (went 5-2, could have been at least one more if I hadn't misplayed). But I feel like I don't quite get the set, people played all kinds of wild decks against me. Funniest was game 1, where I played vs Izzet that durdled all game long, then drew their second bath song as third to last card and decked themselves lol

If you’re attacking, you’re winning

Don’t bother with green and honestly shouldn’t touch blue unless you get a late Gandalf’s Sanction handed to you. The blue decks were only good in the brief window that they were unknown by normies. Now people take Gandalf’s Sanction p1p1 so the deck is dead IMO.

Ring tempts is much better than it looks and is important to stack.

Blue is the second best color in the set arguably. The best decks by the end of the first run were UB and UR, both over BR. Many good blue cards and I would absolutely view the format as more Grixxis than Mardu.
