This is how I will try to lay out each post:

1. An introduction that contains what set of cards I will be drafting and what level queue I joined (8-4, 4-3-2-2, Swiss, Premier Event).

2. I will have a graphic for each pack from the draft with my pick below and an explanation on why I made the pick I did for the first 13 picks from each pack.

3. I will then try to describe the matches of the draft using screencaps for interesting scenarios that come up in game.

4. After each match, I will update you as to my new online rating.

5. Finally, I'll summarize the walkthrough with any prizes I won and my final rating for the event. I will also try to have an honest critique of my picks and play.

This is how I will determine what level I will be playing at:

I used to try and base my queue of choice on my rating but now that the project has been in place for a while, I mostly draft what is going to fire next between the single elimination queues.  I will still join Swiss drafts every so often, usually at the beginning of a set release to gather more information about the new cards and deck types before heading back to the single elimination queues.

Every draft that is done on this account will go up on the site.  These project guidelines do not allow me to pick the good drafts out for posting leaving the bad ones on the sidelines like other sites might.  Good or bad, they will all go up on the site.  That way you will see continuity in my rating from the first draft to the last.  I believe that people can learn as much from the bad ones as they will from the good ones.

I would like to see what others have to say about my picks and strategies and I plan to be a participant in the comments as well.
