I really love the perfect team drafts. You can win packs without already having good cards. What a novel concept!
That said, I am about to call BS on all the perfect and hitter first drafts. I mean, I get it it's fun. And I've gotten sucked in before.
But FFS even with 13-14 pitchers it's absurd. I was looking at how they rocked Vida Blue for a 7.50 era and it was +161 WERA
I've tried a lot of different things but I don't think there's actually any strategy to it at all beyond try to get as many 104s & 103s as possible, and sacrifice plenty of goats to the Random Number God
At least Mixed Bag takes a bit of skill, ditto more normal drafts
I mean, I get the allure, but you basically need to win the game before you take the field with an outlier draft to get anything
to a lesser extent feel the same way about Best of 5. I think it's fine for metal tourneys where it defuses the power of the top teams, but in Perfect Team it just makes stuff even more random, and I'd prefer strategy being big to getting really lucky in the cards made available being disproportionately the highest ones
