Howdy, frequenters and casual customers of the Limited forum! Avacyn Restored is upon us, and I'm thinking it's about time we have another 8-way forum draft. For those of you who are unfamiliar with an 8-way, here's a quick explanation:
An 8-way is a normal draft, where members of MtG Salvation make all the picks. Since more than 8 people will want to participate, there will be multiple members per seat, and these will discuss each pick in a secret forum created specifically for this draft. A moderator will post a new pack every day, and the team will discuss the pick and vote. Each team will have a Team Captain (to be chosen by the team), whose tasks are 1) to decide a pick in case of a tie, 2) to pilot the deck when we duke it out afterwards We'll play either on Magic Online (preferred) or MWS/Cockatrice.
The 8-way forum will be invisible to everyone not participating, and you will only be able to see your own team forum, not the other teams'.
With that out of the way, who wants to play? Sign up in this thread, everyone is welcome! A simple "I'm in!" is enough Hopefully we'll get this started right after the prerelease.
Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
I was playing a draft the second week up avacyn being out and i was constructing my deck when the guy across from me spilled his cherry kool-aid all over mine and his cards, he had a griselbrand and I had a cavern of souls.

I will participate! I am a terrible drafter, and will provide nonsensical recommendations backed by spurious analysis that will annoy some and mislead others!
Signalling is like farting: it's a natural thing that helps people avoid being where you are, and if you try to do it deliberately, things turn to crap fast.
