Booster Draft - How to Maximize Your Luck

Recently, I participated in a 2-pack Weiss Schwarz tournament for the Kill la Kill release event. It's the WS version of the Sneak Preview, where you buy 2 packs and make a deck from all the cards (yes, ALL the cards). Considering that an actual deck has 50 cards, a measly 16 makes any skill that was apparent in the real game absolutely nonexistent; 2-pack Weiss is probably the most troll sackfest of a game I've ever played.

Well, I won the tournament (and a box!). Yay.

Guess the reference!

Draft tournaments are a really popular way for Trading Card games to create new ways of play. Everyone gets kinda bored of the traditional standard format now and then, and Draft is a good way to put standard deckbuilding to one side and focus on situational deckbuilding and creating brand new strategies from scratch. It's a staple part of many games, from Pokemon to Hearthstone, and practically every card game employs Draft to some extent, especially with set prereleases and special events.
