I think the Official Guide just says "available" booster packs, so if you have more of one type and none of another, doubling up on one would be fine. The main thing is that you need enough packs to make a deck of at least 50 cards, and several cards that are drafted will not be usable. Also keep in mind that the blue and green packs have less cards than the others.

Just make sure the players know what packs you are using, since they are paying extra for the category. I know I wouldn't pay $10 to play a Booster Draft of 7 blue packs.  ;)

Isn't $10 what ken charges for just the tin cards anyway? So that's actually a pretty fair deal, and everyone is equally as screwed when it comes to deck building. I would hate it, but would probably play anyways since it's basically still buying the tin and getting to compete in a category for free.

I don't know what you are talking about. I said I wouldn't pay $10 for a Booster Draft of 7 blue packs. I never said anything about tins. I do not use tins for BD since I cannot afford them.

ooohh okay, I just assumed we meant tin cards + 7 blue packs. When we do booster up here we do tins, the packs in them, and usually a TXP or Disciples so it comes out to around 7 packs, thus the confusion. My mistake, carry on.
