Honestly, it really depends on how fast people pick their cards and how long the matches go. I've been in drafts that finished in under 3 hours and some that stretched to 5. Quick picks and fast games make all the difference.
3 hours, tops. If it's taking longer, y'all are overthinking it or having too much fun chatting between rounds.
From personal experience, I'd say it averages around 3.5 hours. The drafting part is quick, maybe 30-45 minutes, but the matches can vary. Some games are super quick, while others are a battle of wits and strategy that takes time.
