Spoilers, I guess, because this only works if you are sneaky, but I made pretty solid work of a tin draft + TNG Block event a few years back by drafting the hand-denial cards: Static Warp Bubble, Telepathic Alien Kidnappers, a couple trivial interrupts. The group was under the (mistaken) impression they were banned, when in fact they were merely suppressed by Ref cards... which weren't in the card pool that day!

Show everyone how smart you are by telling me the best cards to draft!
You mean you don't have your tech from six years ago locked and loaded?! I thought you were good at this game. :P

Are the SoG events included this time? Because drafting dilemmas conducive to those should be a priority if they're in play.

Also, Exobiology. Lots of it.

I remember that's how you teched around my SoG: Cruelty setup at Nationals.
