Contrary to MWS and App who have their own place, netdraft doesn't have one on the forum. This is why I post here.

For now I just want to read as much as possible comments about what is for now the only way to draft without bleeding money.

The first aspect T want to point out is : Would you be interestred in a simple as netdraft way to e-draft with some statisctical analyser inside ? But feel free to do any comment on any aspect of what is existing.

It's useless to complain if u don't like some aspects as I'm not AT ALL related to netdraft creator(s?). I'm just a partime employed IT engineer who wastes the remaining time drafting. For now I just want to catch some general ideas about what people think about netdraft.

it's very basic but seems to work fine
I also like the fact that it sorts ur cards by colour
It would of course be better if it had a built in program to play, but the current system is ok.

To me, the biggest drawback of netdraft is that you can only play one round. This is a people problem, but I feel that a sample size of one match is often not enough to understand the deck you drafted. I wish that people would commit the time to a draft the same way they would to a mini.

Perhaps m-l would start holding sanctioned drafts, in the same vein as sanctioned minis?

Yeah, like once a month...

I'd love to see more draft minis. A couple a day, at least one or two a day.

The reason that more draft minis are not held is because it is very very hard to run them.

I'm sure anyone who runs drafts can relate how difficult it is sometimes just to get one round done. Now imagine you are running a full tournament from it.

another problem is that there isn't really a way for people who can't host to host a mini, apart from getting 8 guys on hamachi :/

hamachi is ineffective with netdraft because of the number of connections it needs. unless everyone has a VERY fast connection, people will be timing out over and over
