I'm a complete beginner but this might help me actually, you know, practice and get better, so I'm in.

Though uhh, the explanation of how this works kind of confused me. Let me see if I somewhat get it...three packs are opened, if I'm first I choose one, then player 2 has to choose from the packs except that one, including player 8 doing so to player 1 until there's no more cards, then it's done again but backwards with three new packs?

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.

Each player opens 3 packs, so we each have 15 cards. We pick one, remove it from the list, and pass the 14 to the next person along, so you'll receive 14 from player 3, Player 2 receives 14 from you. So on and so forth, until each player has 15 cards. And then yes, the next 15 is done in reverse, you passing to Player 3 and receiving from Player 2

Is this gonna be automated or are we gonna do it post-by-post with screencaps in this thread? Also, can I make fake sports draft analysis in which I say stuff like "Boy that's a great pick, Alexandrite Dragon is a strong, fast competitor with great fundamentals."

I'll boot up an IRC for it because nobody but you is supposed to see your pick, or what's coming down the line. So if you go to Mibbit

SynIRC and #ADTRWDraft you should get in.

I thought multiple packs were being used and that each person only gets like 10 cards from each pack used? Or is the same pack just being opened 7 times?

Monarchs with the new vassal support seem pretty busted. They really help accelerate out the tribute monsters and all of your plays are so powerful that you only need to stick one or two monsters to shut down your opponent.

This is the decklist I've been running:

1x The End of Anubis
2x Vanity's Fiend
3x Caius the Shadow Monarch
3x Majesty's Fiend
3x Raiza the Storm Monarch
2x Landrode the Rock Vassal
2x Garum the Storm Vassal
3x Mithra the Thunder Vassal
1x Lucius the Shadow Vassal
2x Battle Fader

3x Grudge of the Monarchs
3x Forbidden Lance
3x The Monarchs Stormforth
3x March of the Monarchs
2x Return of the Monarchs
1x The True Monarch Dominion

1x Vanity's Emptiness
1x Skill Drain
1x Escalation of the Monarchs

I've noticed a lot of decks fold to either Vanity or Majesty Fiend by themselves. If you can get them out quickly with lance or march of the monarchs as backup, it's really difficult to overcome.

I used to play a Mausoleum of the Emperor deck with.Vanity's Fiend to gently caress people over and heavy hitters like Ultimate Tyranno to eat their faces. Vanity's produced such wonderful reactions.
