Realms of the Elf-lords Contest #4:
Pro Player Draft
RESULTS
We gathered three of the top The Lord of the Rings™ Trading
Card Game players in the world for a booster draft tournament. (Booster
draft rules may be found in the Official
Lord of the Rings TCG Tournament Guide.) Gabe Alonso, Hayes Hunter,
and Ted Vessenes chose their starter decks and then were presented with
a challenge.
"In what order would you draft the cards out of this Realms of the Elf-lords
pack?"
Each player looked at the cards very carefully, considered their options
based on what decks they and their opponents were playing, and what their
play style is, then chose the top four cards. Your challenge is to figure
out in what order they chose these cards to put into their decks!
The top four cards in their booster pack were:
Arwen, Lady Undómiel
Might of Númenor
Isengard Warrior
Úlairë Otsëa, Ringwraith in Twilight

The Winners
Picking the top players' minds was more difficult than anticipated. Not
a single entry had all the correct answers! As a matter of fact, the entries
that were most correct only had eight correct answers out of a possible
12. There were 13 people that had eight of the 12 answers correct, and from
those entries the winners were chosen.
Some statistics from this contest:
According to the "Pro Players" statistically the most valuable card to
draft was Úlairë Otsëa, followed closely by Arwen. The
least valuable card to draft was Might of Númenor.
According to all of the submissions that were sent in by you (over 1,250
total submissions) Arwen was the most sought after card, followed closely
by Might of Númenor!
64 people correctly guessed what Gabe Alonso would have drafted.
110 people correctly guessed what Hayes Hunter would have drafted.
11 people correctly guessed what Ted Vessenes would have drafted.
