Since players were not willing to do a true booster draft, Joel supplied the “boosters” with random cards in them. During the drafting, a lot of hunter cards came along. I felt they were too good to pass up so I went with hunter even if I knew I might have to share the class with either Allen or Teodi or both. I ended up with 2 Hooties, 2 Bloodclaws, and 2 more pets. Plus 4 weapons including Ancient Bone Bow and Blackcrow. I also drafted into service Goldenmoon and Shadowmistress which really complemented the pets in the deck.

True enough, Teodi went hunter and Dudes as well. Here's an interesting fact about this tourney: the top 3 finishers played hunter. No other class was played by more than one player. That's a highly improbable result in a Limited tournament because if 2 or more players fight for the same cards in a class, their decks are generally weaker than the rest.
