Heya, my LGS is running a WACKY DRAFT. The rules are: Each player will purchase any combination of 3 packs throughout the history of Magic to construct a 40 card deck. Following deck construction, players will compete in a Single-elimination draft pods. A stipulation to this wacky draft is that each player CANNOT use multiples of any 1 pack for their draft, AS WELL each player MUST draft with a minimum of 1 pack that is outside the current Standard block packs.
Which packs would you pick?
I asked the LGS and it seems like any sets are OK. I wonder if Unglued or Unhinged allowed =0 That's some funny brew

Definitely some original Innistrad packs. And then probably some RTR, Scars of Mirrodin, or KLD? Seems like those could cohere pretty nicely.

One of those could be funny, maybe probably more funny than DKA.
Eternal Masters + Unglued + Shadows Over Innistrad seems like super fun!

Conspiracy sets are a lot of fun in Wacky Drafts. I always suggest at least one.
KTK also hasee a lot of fixing, so it's pretty good in WD.

So if a wacky draft is a Chaos draft, then I'd pick Ravnica, Eventide, and Guildpact. They are all sets I've never drafted before, and I feel the push of 2 color might be interesting to build with!

My picks would be: Alpha-Beta-Unlimited. I have such expensive tastes.
Alright, seriously though, I'd pick Invasion-Shards of Alara-Khans of Tarkir. Multicolor madness!
If one has to be from Standard, replace Invasion with Battle for Zendikar

Well remember that OP said one pack has to be from standard

MagicalHacker OP said one pack must not be from standard.

It also has to be avail at the LGS. I'm browsing the website and they are missing some of the older pre-Return to Ravnica sets. I'm probably going Khans of Tarkir, Magic 2014, And Kaladesh. Keeping the price below 3.00 per pack considering every hillbilly in central FL is going to be getting a pick from my packs as well. I would choose differently if was sealed limited and not draft. ( no offense to any hillbillies )

Maybe Conspiracy ....I started playing at Kaladesh so I don't know too much about older sets. Are the CORE SETS worth a look?

Absolutely 1 Dark Ascension pack to try to get a Lost in the Woods to build a deck with 1 of those and 39 Forests as a whole sideboard deck.
If master sets are allowed, id definitely pick one, probably Eternal Masters.
As for a standard set, I have no idea.
