Just a question:

How are booster drafts done nowadays with the tin sets out?

It was usually Tin + Missing Booster (Kings or Pats, depending on the Tin) the last couple years.  Now that TxP is out, that should be added in as well.

Hey,

This should probably be can be added rather than should be added. Adding the missing pack and a TexP pack to a tin can become quite pricey.  There are also people out there that don't care for the effect of the tins on Booster Draft so there are some playgroup that do a traditional style draft and leave out the tins entirely.

Tschow,

I understood that the tin cards are not to be passed.  If I understood that wrong please correct me.  So basically if you use the tin cards, you would try build a deck around them?

I guess my real question is considering there are some very out of balance assortments of cards in the tins, wouldn't it be better to also draft and pass the tin cards, as well as the packs?  That would seem a much better way of drafting than keeping the cards, at least to me.

You keep the 10 cards from the tin, and only pass the cards from TxP.  It's not a required rule, though, so it could be experimented with, I suppose.

Oh, I was under the impression that all currently available expansions (except AW due to extreme silver boost) were required.  A quick look through the guide says there simply needs to be 6 expansions, though, so a tin is actually all that is required.  My mistake.

The tin cards are meant to be balanced with each other. Passing them would be strange, because the cards in a tin are supposed to work with each other - have only a couple of them and it gets worse.

I think it'd be kind of interesting...

So if you use TeP do you not use another expansion pack?  I'm guessing you can use as many of the different packs as you want correct?

I am not talking about T2 unless I am explicitly talking about T2. Also Mayhem is fine now somehow!

This sounds like a great way to nerf TGT.
