Agreed on the alter-art cards in draft packs point.

Also I have felt like the lcg draft formats could do better considering that it's even easier in this case to create a perfect draft cube to be used from the cards you already own. Currently we only have draft only cards which are usually just stronger than your average cards and nothing more added to the mix.

 

LCG drafts could learn something from the MTG conspiracy draft set where they have added cards that make use of the draft format itself:

1) Cards that become better the later in the drafting cycle it was drafted in like Garbage Fire.

2) Cards which get the effect from the other drafters during the draft like Regicide.

3) Cards where you make information open on a certain condition which creates more mindgames into the drafting process like Illusionary Informant.

 

Just some examples on what can be done when it's taken into account that cards could also affect the drafting process by more than just being more powerful than normal and having "draft only" in their text box. I'm sure even more could be done with the format in mind which would make it far more unique and give incentive for the players to play and pay for the format.

Oh man, those are pretty awesome ways to interact with the draft format itself, though they do seem a little tricky on the tracking aspect. Still, very cool. I keep up with Magic, but only casually, so I had missed really looking into the Conspiracy draft stuff.
