If you’re playing with a group of friends drafting and then dividing up the cards after works, but I tend to prefer a mini league.

In my group we all pitch in for a box of boosters (or starters if we need land, they’re nearly the same price). Start off with each player opening one starter or three boosters, then building a 40 card deck from that pool of cards.

Every two weeks we open additional packs to add to the pool, rebuilding decks as desired. When the pools get a bit larger we switch to building 60 card decks, and before long most players have enough cards to field multiple decks at once.

This works especially well if you combine cards within a block so you get the full effects of the block’s theme.

Remember; you have an equal opportunity to do the same that you fear others are doing.
However, in places where you buy four packs, it is common to divide the remaining packs to the three best players, and one more pack to a player who performed poorly, had the strongest opponent, or was very well-mannered.

I prefer this strategy, presuming the players are all of roughly equal skill and the weakest player gets more cards to make a more comparable collection. I don’t say this because I’m very good at it, but rather because it’s improved my skill at reading cards.

I think flying is to dangerous to print, ’cause that would cause an exponential rise in moshing others at magic tournaments.
