Yay if the older stock is thinning out

That is really exciting! Imagine getting a Grapes or Mayhem along with the FoM cards!

Booster Draft is going to be fun with Fall of Man. Although with all the Unity cards, we'll see how well the Fall of Man cards play in Booster Draft.

Unity cards won't be as useful in Booster, but they also won't be unplayable. For example, Shamgar is still a 10/6 Hero and Benaiah is an 8/8 Hero (and there's always the chance you draw them opening hand  ).

Upon thinking about it, I think it could very easily make booster draft more interesting, because it might force you to choose to play characters down or hold them in your hand so you can get your Unity abilities, and interesting choices are the lifeblood of games. It'll also make for some interesting choices for when facing someone with a powerful unity ability. Do you discard one of their characters and let the unity ability trigger? Or do you keep him alive to avoid it? (At least in those situations where both are possible and tactically reasonable). I'm still looking forward to trying it out. I always love doing drafts.

Glad to see Disciples will be in the packs.  TxP cards, like Jesse mentioned, will be a nice benefit too.
