16 Card Mock Draft Thread

[kolakoski]

Well met!

For this mock draft, anyone can participate at any time. Just post your pick and what Tier it's from, and list the cumulative picks before yours, for the convenience of the next drafter.

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).

The cards are divided into Tiers, from which each player may draft only 1 card, and will end up with 1 card from each Tier (totaling 4 cards per player).

Tomb Raiders!

Tier 1:
*Red Ants of Aunstrum
Tomb Skeletons
Tomb Skeleton Archers
Venoc Vipers

Tier 2:
Van Nessing
Mind Flayer Mastermind
*Jarek Guy
Akumaken

Tier 3:
Estivara
*Prince al'Kahora
Kumiko
Chen Tang

Tier 4:
James Murphy
*Cormin the Dark
Martial La Hire
Kha (card below)

Player 1: ????

Hmm... I meant to jump on this last time, but ended up lurking instead. Maybe I have a sweetspot for Kha because I made the card (and am supposed to be making an updated card...), but I see his Poison being very helpful in this batch of heroes, plus he can get two attacks per turn. He doesn't have much staying power, but Disengage might help him avoid the heat a little bit (even though he wants to be engaged for Double Assault).

Is the hypothetical game to follow a 4-player free-for-all? That would make me want Kha even more. Also, is it safe to assume that the squaddies are 2x, and 3x for the Archers?

I suppose I'll make it official.

Player 1: Kha (tier 4)
