Drafting Caster Stats - from Muse on Mini Podcast

[Rofel]

I listen to podcasts sometimes during work and I want to try this idea that Muse on Minis discussed in their most recent podcast. It works alot like a magic the gathering draft. Might be fun to try out on a Friday after the league is over.

Break out every caster's stats, feat, spells into the following and make cards for them:
-Stat-Line (including base size)
-Individual Weapons (no multiple copies)
-Individual Spells (no multiple copies)
-Special Abilities (no multiple copies)
-Feat
There would be rules for drafting and assembling the caster as well, such as you can only use 1 feat and 1 stat line but you can draft as many as you want. The hard part would be assembling the right ratio of stuff per pack.

The Game:
1. Declare your faction
2. Draft say 10-13 cards (no idea what a good number would be)
3. Build your army

This is just for fun, nothing serious. Now I'm going to be distracted all day thinking about some broken combinations.

This would get out of hand very quickly.

For Cygnar I'm torn if I want access to eLylyth's feat, pDenny's feat or Ossyan's feat. Hmm....

They talked about things like this in the Podcast and posed a sample situation:

I'm sitting next to a Legion player and have to pass to them next turn, and I just opened up the spell Synergy. Annnnnnd that gets hate drafted away because there is no way you're letting Legion have access to that spell.

Their other point was if you break up every caster in the game there are probably 300-400 different entries, and you only get to see a fraction of them, so the odds of you "living the dream" are pretty low.

Its true. I just like to imagine things like ending up being totally nuts. Like it would be totally sweet if I could play Kara Sloan and swap Arcane Blast and Return Fire for Broadsides and Hotshot, and give her eLylyth's feat. Three shots a turn (4 with feat) from her and Hot Shot upkept on my Stormwall... um...

Where can I find a link to this? Just wanna observe it as this can lead to some extreme hilarity.
