Booster Drafts

[Nathanael]

So pretty much every local store holds events involving 300pt Booster drafts where you can pick 2 boosters and construct your team only from those contents.

Which 2 Boosters would you pick?

2-same?
2-diff?

Tell us why and suggest possible armies you would hope to play if you managed to pull certain models. Do you count on super rares or roll out a common/uncommon piece justification?

I have typically chosen Brave and the Bold because of the solid support figures in the common uncommon range, the units all being up to date, and the playability of the high point figures.

Even though there are some characters I really love in Brave and the Bold, I'd go with Arkham Asylum over Brave and the Bold. I feel like there are better characters for competitive play there.

I don't count on getting anything in particular in a booster draft. I just open my packs, see what I got and build the best team I can out of that. I don't worry if someone else picked some super awesome character. If you really check out every option you get, you can generally come up with something that works well.

I remember a draft I was in shortly after M&M came out. We were short on packs so each person drafted one pack of M&M and one pack of Avengers. I remember not pulling any character with Outwit. Instead, I played with as much Exploit Weakness and Psychic Blast as I could gather to make sure I could get through defenses. That's what you have to do in a draft. Don't hope to pull something specific. Learn to work with what you get.
