"Random Draft" Tournaments would be awesome

[I_Got_Wood_34]

I used to play a Valve PC game/strategy card game called "Artifact" .. the best mode by far was "random draft" where you have to form your "deck' from ~10 random packs and your opponents all do the same and then you enter a do or die tournament where the remaining two teams play for the tournament championship.

In this case, the 'deck' would just be your 26-man roster.

Winner of these tournaments could get some free packs/PP or something.

What really makes this mode shine though is that it would really turn a game from pay to win/grind into a real baseball tactical chess match and players will be rewarded for knowing how to construct a good team from random card packs and tweaking their strategy to maximize the performance of their drafted roster.

The way the draft would work is that you get, say, 10 random packs, and you have to draft 2-3 cards from each pack to form your 26 man roster. You don't own these cards, you just use the cards during the tournament. And each "random draft" tournament you enter, you get 10 new generated packs to draft from to use for that tournament, etc.

I kinda like it. But I need to know: could I bring along all 5 of my Albert Almora, Jr draws, or only one copy?

I'd love something like that, or a "pass the pack" tournament as well where each opened pack has all its cards used.
I believe it might be a tough thing to handle for the servers though - but I don't know how they are setup.
