It’s for Charity - Supporting Dell Children’s Hospital - https://www.dellchildrens.net
So Ryan tells me he has this idea he wants to tell me, but he wants to tell me to my face. We meet up for lunch at BDubs as we are wont to do. Ryan tells me about this rotisserie draft thing and as a fantasy football player I was TOTALLY in!

Ryan Greene - One of your hometown heroes from @commander Social
Yarok, the Desecrated
Zack Taylor - One of your hometown heroes from @commander Social
Ryan - Talk about how I chose which commanders to pick
Zack - Going with my the most A1 BOLD picks I can think of and going by my gut!
We looked at what the most likely Commanders for each player would be
Determined cards we thought might be highly contested
Ryan - Ramp
Zack - Enters the Battlefield effects
Determined what cards would be most important to our decks strategy
Picking cards for the 99
How we are making picks
Community members can donate to their favorite content creator in the draft
Each $5 donated to a player increases their overall budget by $1, and adds 5 points to their “Power-Up pool”
“Cut the line” - 50 points - Make a pick instantly. Then the draft continues as normal. This does not take your turn for the round. Limit one per player
“Wait your turn” - 100 points - Cause target drafter to go last this draft round. Limit one per player
“Clone” - 250 points - This round you may select a card that has already been drafted. This allows you to break the rules of the rotisserie format. Limit one per player
“Blatant Thievery” - 500 points - You steal a previously drafted card from another player. That player immediately makes a replacement pick. The player stolen from gets their budget returned for the stolen card. Limit one per player.
Each player may spend their Power-Up points in the following manner:
We have made these publicly available, so that ANYONE out there can run their own rotisserie draft
Main tab “Group Picks” pulls all the picks into one easy place for your group and/or the public to follow along
Stops folks from picking duplicates. This is important when there are nearly 600 individual cards picked
Tracks your balance for you
Formats the tweet, so you literally just have to hit a single button, and it will Tweet your pick, your remaining budget, the hashtag you have chosen, and @ the next person whose turn is after yours
Creates some nice little charts and graphs that show your mana curve, card types, and colors
The spreadsheet does everything for you
Determine your players - We’ve done a draft with exactly 8 players, because this makes for 2 pods of 4 players, and should ensure decently powerful decks
Set a budget - We chose 200, and this excludes mana-producing lands, because we thought that might be less interesting to watch, and it allows people to only have to make 70 picks instead of 100
Determine your “Draft hours window”. Ours is currently from 10am - 10pm Central, but obviously this might change depending on your group
Depending on how “available” your group is, this can take up to 4 weeks to make all of the picks
Summary - This is super fun! We encourage anyone out there that has a playgroup to consider doing this. Let us know what you think, and there’s probably still time to get a donation in for a good cause:
