i would have to go with me if i had to choose a person. i also agree with kebe in that unless you're on modo you're not drafting. i'm not takin away from my (or anybody else's) drafting skills, but there are a lot of really bad drafters here. so the answer, other than myself, is no one (at least not on here).

modo drafters are way overrated. yes, there are a lot of really good players, but in your average 8-4 you'll see a comparable quality of cards that you would here. For example, in the last RRR that I played in, a Mark of Eviction tabled.

i'm not necessarily sayin that modo drafters are better (cause u still get noobs on there also), but i think ppl learn more when they have to put their hard-earned (or given to u by grandparents...lucky sobs) money into gettin better. there are a lot of ppl on here that always draft and if u ask them a question they know absolutely nothing at all. they are basically the 7 or 8 spot in the draft (late night that number gets higher). i'm just sayin that u get more "real drafters" and less noobs on modo, that's all. most good drafters on here basically draft and leave (i'm one of them...sometimes). u really can't do that on modo (unless that foil conclave equinot finished ur set and you're SOOOOO HAPPY).

also having actual packs helps when you're drafting. most pros remember print runs to build decks. that's why u always seem to find the same ppl winning over and over again (neil reeves anyone). and again i'm not knockin anybody here, just sayin my 2 cents.

not only are there less noobs on modoe, but the best players are on modo, too. there are very few bad players in 8-4s, and modo is the only place where you can play with the best in the world.

The quality is higher on modo, not all 8-4 drafts are full of drafters that are all that. Sometimess though you enter a modo 8-4 draft take a look at the ratings of all the guys around you and the ratings they have and you feel out of your depth but othertimes, you still see cards later than logic would allow.

The lack of print runs is why i dislike netdraft. I do not have a photographic memory, nor am I any good memnomics, hence I can not card count. But practicing with proper print runs helps you pick up on general trends.

I am locking this now, because this is a very bad thing to have on our site. Things like this have caused huge flame wars in the past that I would not like to relive.
