Cool, were the cards used the ones we'll be seeing in February? Is that even decided and planned out yet?

Yes, these were all cards from the core release in February.

And I should mention that my deck could have gone screaming down in flames against someone with a more aggressive drafting strategy and who was more willing to bluff. It happened to work very well in this game, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have ended so well for me against a couple of the other decks I saw being played.

But that's the fun of deck building, right?

So, in drafting the Munchkin CCG 8 is the recommended play environment? also how many packs do you draft?

It's what we tried because it's a "typical" draft pod for many other CCGs. It seemed to work pretty well.

Four. That gives you a total of 48 cards from which you build a 30-card deck.

I will say that after having played with the starters and a handful of constructed decks, drafting is a VERY different experience in the CCG. There are some card combos that you just can't use with constructed decks.

Good. Different styles of play should require different strategies.
