Team UK does snek draft

Ha, this is too good. :stuck_out_tongue:

The swedes are pretty much done and we are doing a stream on Sunday going over the draft and playing some of the games (we are doing round robin), 8 pm CET (2 pm CDT) on Twitch

For anyone interested a bunch of us stimslackers in various parts of the world got together and did one of these too. Link is here: #Snakedraft - Google Sheets

Likewise the London one.

One thing we have noticed from the other drafts is the propensity for there to be only 1 HB player which skewed the competition for their cards and moves away from the ideal 2-2-2-2 split across factions. One solution is for one player to draft ETF early and the other the 3/2s so that no one player gets the best of both.

" if you do not pick an ID, you will default to a 45/10 blank ID of a faction of your choice"

What is the purpose of this rule? Aren’t players free to use any unpicked IDs?

It probably doesn’t have too much impact, but is a small way of encouraging people to reveal their archetype in the draft, instead of using the ID picks on hatedrafts instead. It also helps players who draft the Runner minifactions - in the event their ID gets hatedrafted on, at least they can construct a legal deck in their minifaction.
