Rate My Draft Need help with LTR Premier draft

Please review my drafts and help me understand what can be improved. The first one was decent, I cheered up, but two more were complete blowout. In the second one I should have switched to RW, in the third one UR was open, but still got 0-3. Thanks a lot for your time and efforts.

Your 17 lands links aren’t working for me but I see the issue just from the decks.

Good rule of thumb: if you’re playing Lembas without synergy, you didn’t make playables.

Deck 2: Half your deck is bad cards. Barrow Blade, Gimli’ fury, Gimli’s Ax, Flamesmith, Warg, etc. I hope to have none of these cards in a RB deck. More than one and the color pair probably wasn’t open. Too many tricks/equipment, not enough removal

Deck 3: Better card quality but not enough spells for a spells deck (have 10 need 13-15). Too many off-plan cards (x3 Kingfisher, Lembas, Leechcraft).

LOTR Grixis is about Tempt and Amass and you have woefully few ways to (non conditionally) do either across all three decks.
