One of the features I would like to see in Shadow Era went it's ready is Drafting.
For Beta I completely understand the need to get the game engine down, and I'm excited to play constructed decks. But one of the coolest things about TCGs is the ability for a "limited" format and drafting.
With TCGs there is a rarity system in place, so when you buy a pack there will be 1 hero, 10 commons, 3 uncommons and 1 rare or epic.
After a while, when I have my full playset of commons and uncommons, the only value in a pack for me will be in the rare I need to complete my collection or put into decks.
In a constructed only format, there will be cards that will never see play as some of them will not be strong enough for constructed, but would see play in a draft format. Drafting with my packs gives all the cards more value as I will play most of the cards I drafted at least once in that draft.
Like the WoW tcg, I don't think you'd have to draft your hero, you'd just be able to play with any hero legal in the format.
Those are just my thoughts on the subject for know. Until I see the cards and the basic structure of the game, it would be difficult to say how many packs per player you'd need to draft and and what your minimum deck size would be.
