The Hobbit (HOB) MTG Draft Tier List
Limited ratings graded from live 17Lands GIH win rates · updated 2026-08-29 · 188 cards scored in simulator
Every rating below comes from 17Lands' live Games-In-Hand win-rate data for the current premier-draft format — the same source the Hyde bots rank with. Uncommons and commons carry the format; here are the cards the data says to prioritize, then a one-click practice draft where every pick comes with a coaching explanation.

Color signals
Among cards with live data, the deepest color pools right now are Black (17), Red (15), Blue (13). Blue decks are getting the highest-rated commons (Long Lake Nuisance, Plunder the Trollshaws, Lakeshore Apothecary), while white owns the top of the uncommon slot (Stone by Sunlight, The Mountain-king's Return) and green's Mirkwood Pathmaker is the second-best card the data can see. Black and red show plenty of depth but nothing above the 0.59 line on commons yet.
Mythics and rares are still awaiting their 17Lands sample — they currently grade from rarity heuristics inside the simulator, and this list refreshes as their data lands (~week 4 of the format).
FAQ
Where do these ratings come from?
17Lands' public GIH (games in hand) win-rate statistics, queried the day this page was generated. It is the same data the in-simulator bots use to make their picks.
Why no rares or mythics?
17Lands accumulates statistically usable samples for rares and mythics a few weeks into a format. Until then those cards are graded from rarity-based heuristics — we mark every set this way in the set picker.
Is there a draft mode in MTG Arena?
Yes — Premier Draft, Quick Draft and Traditional Draft. Quick Draft rotates on a schedule you can check on our Quick Draft schedule page, and you can practice each rotation set here first.
