Was this 2-Player?
A little piece of me hurts every time I see a draft decklist like this. When the format incentivizes you to pick an 18th hero or a 17th GE over your 2nd battlewinner EE, especially when the first 16 GEs are Constructed-playable, something's broken

Maybe a deck like this is drafted because there were others at the draft table who did not adequately understand how to draft. It appears that drafting all offense like this may be a result of a combination of both. Don't get me wrong, that's a nice deck but is absolutely disgusting to think about playing against it in draft.
What do you mean no defense? This deck can block forever with Invoking Terror and Egyptians Magicians!
It seems that the vast majority have this view of multiplayer in Redemption (though I could be wrong in that assumption).Has it been considered for there to be a deckbuilding rule like T2 where the number of good and evil cards is required to be equal?

All that said, you definitely deserved the win Bill. You didn't quite make me cry, but you came close.

However, it raises the question about what if that doesn’t happen?Mainly, I am talking about the young kids who don’t draft any heroes because there are these really cool evil cards. Once the drafting is done, what happens with them?
In Multiplayer Booster Draft, when you attack, you choose which person you are attacking. If that player chooses not to block, each other player (in turn order) gets a chance to block.That might change how players draft multi Booster
The sad thing is, I'm not even sure it would - in fact, it might make it worse, as players will draft with the knowledge that someone else at the table can block so they don't need as much defense. It becomes a game theory problem where the optimal personal strategy is all offense - even more so than now - but the optimal group strategy is relatively balanced. Problem is that (IMO) the optimal personal strat is favored over the group strat, so it'll still be all offense all the time.
