The rules: One copy of every Hearthstone card is in the pool. No class restrictions. 8 players draft cards one at a time, 1 to 8, then 8 back to 1. When every player has a complete deck, you play round robin. Most wins wins. What are your first five picks?

      @themattlondon Can we pick outside of a single class?

        @stormraige23 No class restrictions. Any collectible card in the game.

          @themattlondon Can we make this a solo mode/tavern brawl some day…? Cause I love it. Give me a moment! Also last question. Current state of cards of if they’ve been nerfed pre nerf?

            @stormraige23 Cards in their current state for simplicity. Unlikely to be a tavern brawl for some old tech debt reasons. But it would make a heck of a @RarranHS video. Or a @PlayHearthstone video. Hmm…

        @WickedGood This is crafty, but I liked your other list more. That’s the goooood stuff. Gotta go Malygos first to make sure no one snipes it.

      @themattlondon Draft would take a long ass time.

        @themattlondon Does picking renathal let you draft 10 more cards? Might try to pick zef fist then and then get renathal on the wheel and hope no one tries to cut the Reno cards

          @ToeManJon The ruling is "All players draft until everyone has a complete deck." So I'd interpret that as if someone drafts Renathal you all draft to 40, then the people not running Renny get to pick their best 30.

      @themattlondon are you asking what the first five players should take or what i would take in the first five rounds

      • Matt London

        @RidiculousHat Let’s assume you get five picks, and no one else takes what you want to take. This would never happen in practice but I’m curious to see what people think the best deck would be.

            @Celestalon @themattlondon @RidiculousHat I feel like Ice Block is the obvious [REDACTED] here, but here's to the next set!

              @rwfrk @Celestalon @RidiculousHat It’s the next set. He told me what card. It’s busted. But in a good way I promise.

                @themattlondon @rwfrk @RidiculousHat (But ice block is probably soon after, though there are like 4 possible equivalents for that role at this point. )

      @themattlondon What is “round robin”?

      • Matt London
        Posted 3 years, 2 months ago (Source)
        @SilentNickHS Each player plays seven games, one against every other player.

      @themattlondon Is the draft blind? Do I know who drafted what before me or just that the card isn't in the pool anymore? --Interesting thought exercise.

        @rwfrk It’s all open face.
