Now, I actually have some cards in H&J, such as The Abyss, Moat, Diamond Valley, Imperial Seal, Library and Duals. I also have a handful of cards I could add in at any time, but I've been keeping them out for deck building purposes, because my rule is "Once In, Never Out." They include Mana Drain, Force of Will, and a few others. I also have an Alpha Berserk and the Foil Promo - neither are suitable for this draft format due to corners and foiling. If I really wanted to, I could knock off the 10 duals and the two counters plus an Alpha Berserk without affecting H&J, but losing those duals is a heavy loss to my deck stock.

You'll also note that only four cards are missing from the post Legends, non-Portal world - Force, City of Traitors, Tolarian Academy and Vendillion Clique. That's really good. Everything else is in, every mythic rare, every expensive rare, every force in Legacy, Vintage or Modern from all of those sets. (I have added the Commander cards at their printed commonalty, so this is the only draft where you could pull something like Syphon Flesh or Animar, Soul of the Elements).

This is not a cry to add the cards, but simply a statement of progress. We are doing very well. (Oh, and I just bought a collection of 7000 cards for $150 from Craiglist, so I will be sorting through it the next week - what did I get? No clue!)

Holy wow! I can't believe that is all you need. Most of the list of still needs are pretty scary expensive. But then again, there's a lot of expensive stuff you've already added. That's an impressive accomplishment!

Well if you are interested, my Magic dealer if buying a couple sets of Portal 3K and he'll have very minty copies of what you'll need for Abedraft.
