If this is truly supposed to be a draft using every Redemption cards made then each SoG should be available to select. Ex: SoG A deck, SoG B deck, SoG C deck...

You might decide within that whether or not you want to use the various reprintings of the same card. Ex: SoG C deck and SoG c deck.

Considering you pick two colors to draft I don't think this was ever intended to be a real draft.

I'll basically be using the 3LG pricelist as I do the draft.  So if it's listed there separately then it is available to draft (ie. A deck SoG, B deck SoG, C deck SoG, etc.)  But on your list of 150 cards that you want, I'm just saying that if there is no functional difference between 2 versions of a card, then you don't have to put that card down multiple times.

So for example:
Player 1's list:
1 - New Jerusalem (dominant - Warriors/Promo)
2 - Son of God (I/J)
3 - Son of God (A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H)
4 - New Jerusalem (site - Womens)
5 - Angel of the Lord (A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H/I/J)
6 - Thaddeus (Disciples)
7 - etc.

Why don't we just draft our four colors and let artifacts, doms, lost souls, ...etc be available no matter what.

First of all, because I'm trying to replicate the rules that this event was run with at Nats in Columbus.  Second of all, because I've enjoyed playing in the TOSS tournament where some decks have dominants, and some (like mine) don't.  It adds another element of strategy to the draft.  You can load up your first spots on dominants, but that means that other people will be able to get the best characters, enhancements, artifacts, fortresses, etc. before you.  So people will have to choose how they want to prioritize their drafts.

Considering that there are 10 SoGs and less than 10 players currently, that balances the most important dominant.  It is also likely that each player will get 2 of (AotL, CM, and Burial), but probably only 1 other dominant, so most decks will have a maximum of 4 dominants.

I have to drop. I have something with my church that day.

Sorry Mr.Underwood. ima have to drop. Internet is totally screwed over right now.

I would really love to do this. But it doesn't look like the internet will be fixed in time. I am using my moms phone for everything right now.

Unfortunately this event never ended up happening.  I was only sent 1 draft list (thanks for doing your part Hobbit).

I still think this has the potential to be a really interesting event, but obviously it needs to be handled differently to make it work.  The first time it was run (Columbus Nats) plenty of people turned in lists, but creating the decks made it impossible.  This time, I think we could've made the decklists for everyone, but since it wasn't in person, people didn't turn in the draft lists.  I hope that someday we'll figure out how to make it work on both ends.

As a side note, I'll be stepping down from ROOT leadership after filling my term for the last year, and I am excited to announce that we'll be back up to 3 leaders for the next year.  My co-founder Soul Seeker is back, as is another former ROOT leader (Prof A), and a couple new leaders as well (jmhartz 2013 and Red 2014)
