Tournament details - "Whirlpool of Blood" draft

"Sooner or later, every Innerwalker gets forced to jump in at gunpoint. It's like destiny or something."

Premise: Pass through the netherworld from juncture to juncture, carefully selecting the forces you need to make your mark on the Secret War. Your allies will span time and space - Ancient China, the Wild West of America, a dystopian cyberpunk future and... the 1970's?!?

How it works: Each participant purchases seven Shadowfist booster packets. Before the first round, each player opens the first booster. Participants choose a single card, pass the booster to their left and receive the booster from the player to their right. This continues until there are no more cards to choose in that booster. Repeat with the next booster, passing cards to the right this time and receiving from the left, (alternating directions each round), until they have opened four booster packs. They will then be asked for their faction preference to build a deck (standard deck building rules apply) and given two pods of 5 foundation characters and one of 8 Feng Shui sites. These pod cards are considered to have no rules text. Different factions can be selected. After the first round is played and scored, participants open and draft from the fifth booster, rejig their decks with the new cards, and play again. This continues until four rounds are played, with a new booster drafted and opportunity for changes to the deck in between rounds. Final positions are based on game points.
