How about introducing a ban system for competitive drafting?
Ever player draws 5 cards and is allowed to discard one before passing them to the next player? Then the usual draft starts with the 4 cards remaining. That would avoid players steamrolling with cards like ai or earth cat and add another strategic component on top. And if there 2 power cards in the hand you can decide to discard a weak card, so everybody (assuming 2p) is guaranteed to get one both are known and you can play around it.

I know this can't be implemented on this site, but id still love to hear your opinions.

I was surprised to learn that... that and almost anything can be implemented on this site, you just need to convince the game publisher to agree to the change _and_ provide funding to get it implemented on BGA.

\cast 'summon' sticky thread explaining "what's possible on BGA and what isn't".

I would be for this change being available. That said I often do not play draft; I enjoy draft but it lengthens the game time a bit too much (especially online / bga I think. Or maybe it is just me, I am mega slow 8(. ).
