'Scaper of the Month - May 2018

Posted May 10th, 2018 at 04:38 AM by HS Codex

Scaper of the Month
Ronin
Author: The Grim Reaper’s Friend

To be honest, I always love it when one of our ’Scapers of the Month incorporates some humor into their interview. I feel like it adds some personality to the replies you don’t get if you’re completely serious. I had fun with Ronin’s interview for that reason. Ronin has been working with us in the Codex for some time now, consistently supplying us with high-quality C3G Strategy articles, so I was excited to learn more about him.

The 16 Card Snake Draft Format for Classic/VC

Well met!

Some time ago, I devised a draft format for use with C3G. The plethora of figures available in the combined Classic/VC, and recent events, have revitalized my interest in this format.


The 16 Card Snake Draft Format.

Snake Draft.
It's a draft where the positions flip flop every round. For example, if someone drafts first during the very first round, they'll draft last the following round, then they'll draft first again in the next round, and so on.

So, with 4 players drafting 1 card at a time, the order would be: 1234432112344321. Each player ends up with 4 cards (out of 16).

Of course, there are an infinite number of ways to choose those 16 cards. Some totally subjective, current principles:
