That's fair. I find drafting difficult too and only win a game here or there if I play someone inexperienced or I get an incredibly lucky pull. But I feel like I learn quite a bit by drafting, even if I don't know the set.
Maybe a better way to learn deck building is to check out the meta game and figure out how each deck works based on its contents? Though that only takes you so far, you do have to play the deck and interact with others to really learn it.
This is why so many people play drafts at local game shops. It achieves two things: 1) you get experience playing the game with a limited number of unique cards and everyone has similar chances of getting the cards they want and need and 2) you build your collection by keeping the cards you drafted and winning additional packs if you won any games. There are plenty of people at these shops that would be willing to help you with deck building too.

It really did feel that way, still kinda does. But I love it to bits
I really enjoyed year zero as well. It felt fresh, there was a decent amount of experimentation, and I appreciated the lyrical themes
There it is! I was looking for this one
THIS IS MY PLASTIC FORK
Sorry mate, that's just not true.

Yeah it is difficult, maybe not the best way to learn. But making mistakes and seeing how others play their decks can be valuable experience imo.
