New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
What are the current rules for looking at cards in your draft pile?
Booster draft isn't completely relevant because you don't have to worry about cheating. Drrek's post was spot on.
You can never look at them until after everyone is done drafting and you can only have one pile.
I will add my endorsement of said proposal. While we're at it, can we also change the rule so that you can look at the cards you have drafted during a Booster Draft. I'm getting too old for memories.
I would just set aside characters in general. That is what is hardest to remember - what color characters you have, and what ones you thought you had but don't. If you could at least make separate piles of your choice that would be helpful.
Never look at the pile until after all packs are drafted?
I propose that at the very least the rules are changed to allow a review period between drafting packs.
It probably should be started on a separate thread to keep this clean, but I would be in favor of a review period in between packs. I know I don't have a clue what colors I drafted in Prophets by the time I get to Kings, and I'm not alone. It could be an optional rule, much like the other optional rule that we currently have but I can't remember.
I mean, 80% the time the things you drafted in Prophets won't even be used other than the occasional hero or evil enhancement (the only really good one being Great Image and perhaps False Peace).

However, later on when you see a battle-winning enhancement while drafting, you may have forgotten what brigade that character was, since you didn't really want it in the first place.
I'm just starting a new thread to continue the discussion from the other Rule Proposal thread. If a moderator could move the rest of the posts related to this thread over here, that would be great.
My personal take, with hosting experience, is that drafting is so long already...
In retrospect, I do not think it added time to the draft. For me, I found that I was able to draft quicker in later packs because I did not have to think back to whether I had drafted a blue hero in the first pack. I knew exactly what brigades I had characters for going into the next pack. Often times (in the past) I had forgotten the last couple of cards that I drafted in each pack, since I didn't have real choices anyway.
I just wanted to quote myself from earlier, because I'm not sure if you saw this post before you did the Moderator thing:
I can't see adding time to the drafting process being good, ...
This rule would do nothing but create table clutter! If you stink at booster draft in the first place how would being able to make 20,000 stacks of cards improve your game?
