Anyone done this?  How does it measure up against Winston for two players apart from taking longer?

 

[Charlie Grover]

Ive done it once or twice, its hard hard work but quite fun if you are up for the effort.

Before Winston was invented this was a semi-popular draft format. Some people called it Fact or Fiction draft and only did it by separating groups of 5 cards into piles, but the theory is the same.

It can be a bit laborious to go through, but if he players are of comparable skill level it can be pretty good, otherwise it is often one sided.

You could say that a good player crushing a bad player is a feature - more skill testing!  I should probably stay away from it  ... :)
