I wish every draft could have Mana be so evenly distributed. ![Screenshot_20210328-201552](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/b/2/b296bf231c6dd5a850fba5193a1960914e0dd77d.jpeg) ![tenor (8)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/8/7/8734079870c183689d31de1d046df6458af45ca8.gif) ---

Just one Brown troop away from the best drafted arena team ever. ☹ #robbed ![Screenshot_20210414-155914](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/3/b/3bcbaef2dac247687fdc1e7f85e8d94d55e7ac21.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210414-155921](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/a/9ac6147e3c6fcdffc5007dedba19ddb5d49f3604.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210414-155929](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/9/9/99c19a5459e8c7fb86dd2dfde3e4c30c4a4e1e5f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210414-155947](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/6/0/60449fb17ba2d2c16f589c975314802c0e756272.jpeg) ---

> [@Sytro](#): > > My opinion about the subject: Well for the 90% of player base who won’t touch the arena… This thread will remain. But yes, as made previously on this thread before. If a player is knowledgeable about the arena. All it takes is one troop to win. That’s been well established. Kudos. ---

Just a friendly reminder that the arena is 100% more fun when this is possible: ![Screenshot_20210425-121639](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/c/dc24ffbc7b75bfbcdcd01632f053b3dc7348eb8d.jpeg) Than when it isn’t. But then again I’m not the one losing daily players by the truck load, so what do I know about games @devs. 🤷 ---

Mm, yeah the triple yellow offering for Commons (it’s not like there was an absence of yellow beforehand) and zero purple in any of the choices is a bit rude 😠. ---

Devil’s advocate: “RNG is streaky.” Me: "Yes, but in regart to drafting in the arena. It does NOT have to be. Code can exist to make sure such a small amount of numbers/selection won’t produce this truly lack of options for Mana color. This is the worst I’ve personally saw it. But the Rarity is irregardless. I should NECER have saw it in the first place. Gems of War is a video game. They are by nature supposed to be fun. Having options is more fun than not having options. Be better. ![Screenshot_20210528-050057](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/4/4/445af31d3282e50809d64c38c9a59edaa907afa5.jpeg) ![Screenshot_20210528-050111](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/gemsofwar/original/3X/d/d/dd9acf7bcadcbe781255064ccfbbe570b18125e8.jpeg) ---

That’s a fantastic team though…all 6 colors represented, 1 great troop, 2 good troops, and golem can safely be in 3rd place. You’re objectively better off than if they gave you a choice of yellow, purple and blue. At the end of the day, all I care is for my team as a whole to have a good mix of colors. I usually do get that on the reroll at worst. [Previous page](https://community.gemsofwar.com/t/mana-color-restrictions-in-the-arena/68379.md?page=2)
