I think this is an interesting concept, with everyone opening the same packs, I feel this could easily get out of hand but also showcase some underdog victories and who doesn’t love that? I hope to see how an episode or a video of it works out and best of luck on that 😊

If you wanna get a group of creators together, I'd be down in a heartbeat!! I love draft EDH!!!!

We (kinda) did this at the Unknown Event in Chicago! If I remember correctly it was two MKM play boosters, one MKM collector booster, two Ravnica Remastered boosters (don't remember set or draft), and two mystery boosters, plus a pack of 10 new playtest cards. We also played with commanders face-down until cast, and mono-colored legendary creatures gain partner. Totally broken, was a hell of a lot of fun!

Interesting concept. The only issue I could see arising is the use of collector booster packs. Those are always super expensive, and not everyone can afford to play that, especially with the increasing prices that Wizards and Hasbro have been pushing onto players. I think the inclusion of the mystery boosters is a cool thing since it would give more options for filling out the deck. Personally, I'm trying to stick with the advice given by The Professor and am buying singles for my decks anymore. I think the point system is a neat way to spice up the games regardless, as it incentivizes making interesting decks or making interesting plays within the game. One suggestion for a way to get points is maybe something like the uniqueness of the ideas for the deck, as some people will likely come up with completely unique ideas that no one else would have thought of, and the table can vote on the deck that they thought was unique and cool, and if the votes are tied, then both players who tied get a point. Anyway, I hope this idea goes well for you. I'd be interested to see some gameplay of this, just to see whether I like it or not.

Feels like the points system is going to have to do some heavy lifting when people open special guests or serialized cards. I’m just not seeing how this would be compelling when the deck budgets could vary wildly given the current state of booster packs.

This actually seems fairly interesting

The idea that your budget is based on what you draft would seem wildly disproportionate and unfair. The other obvious issue being that Commander affinity restrictions do not work well with draft play.

Why even open packs? Couldnt you just randomly roll for the new set legend. Feels like a reason to write off the pack you won at a draft or prerelease. Then the budget is based on a number that no one has control over and isnt the same ceiling for everyone? I ha e seen some budget list that just pump most of it into the commanders, but that seems like a rules thing that could get hammered out or worked out. Then whats the point of points if there isnt any reason to get them, beyond just saying you did the thing. I get it may make people to be proactive,but with some of the examples you gave. 99 swamps would do the same thing.

I see no reason for this tbh.
