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.

I have now removed Zhang Fei, Fierce Warrior, Mirror Universe and Jihad from this list

Also pull Reset, Guardian Beast and City of Traitors

You may now remove:

Forcefield
Force of Will
Vendilion Clique
Tolarian Academy
Sharazad
Ali from Cairo

8 weeks of pay from GM.com got me those six cards plus:

1 Snapcaster Mage
3 Basilisk Collar
2 Oracle of Mul Daya
2 Eldrazi Monument
2 Voidslime
3 Kitchen Finks
4 Clifftop Retreat
1 Mikaeus the Lunarch
2 Woodfall Primus
2 Archive Trap
2 Mindbreak Trap
2 Vengevine
3 Serra Ascendant
2 Avenger of Zendikar
2 Rite of Replication
2 Sarkhan the Mad

(Plus Forcefield, Force of Will, Tolarian Academy, Shahrazad, Vendillion Clique and Ali from Cairo)

Nice haul!

Berserk is now removed from this list as well

We have now added:

Steam Catapult
Sylvan Tutor
Elephant Graveyard
All Hallow's Eve
Tetsuo Umezawa

This list is getting smaller and smaller!

Yup, we're down to just 37 cards outside of Portal and 18 Portals which are mostly P3K cards

Nice! Have you been playing with it at all?

Nope! Not even a little

Well damn! That's sad. Especially since it's almost done. You need to organize an Abedraft group.
