I think I'm not a bad player, but I like to had your hints to play a good sealed booster (i've played only 1 time this game format, closing it in 3rd place, but i've had the luck to find a unique... i cant' ever be lucky :) )
For sealed booster its impossible to come up with good hints exept to play to your army's strengths. If you pull figs. with the abilities listed below definetelly play them. Bound, charge, ranged healing, limited invisibility, and magic blast. Try to fit in warriors with these abilities if you can't try to at least fit in bound and ranged healing. Also terrain choosing plays a big part of it, if you have a bounding army with limited invisibility then try to get some deep water terrain to shoot over, if you have a charging army then try to get some blocking terrain to have your figs. charge out from behind.
go for effective formations, especially for movement, the guy with the 8 figs and no formations on the board will always lose, also pair up figures that can make combo/archtype armies.
Also, figs that are good in sealed are not guaranteed to be good in rebellion. In other words, figs like war bears are sucky in rebellion but are great in sealed.
Healing is very good.
LI is good if you can get your hands on it. Only 1 fig with LI is needed. Alot of sealed is going to be melee.
Just b/c you get a unique does not mean you should play it. Most uniques take alot of pressure off you b/c they fill up alot of points where you know you are getting all the bang for the buck. But be sure to look at nons, b/c in minions, some are too good to pass up in spite of uniques.
Figures to draft in minions-
Most uniques are good, though I would hesitate on the paladin priest and galeshi sunprophet.
Nons that are Beasts in minions sealed-
Channellers
chimeric wurms
iron clads
***dwarven bombards
shadows
crystal protectors
Flayed lord
thron maiden
krugg headhunter
by the way: on my first sealed (3xminions) i've got a paladin priest, i've played it with medium/long ranged figures, and finished 3rd, killing an AD in #1 battle, capturing an ametyst knight in #2 battle, and loosing my #3 battle vs a 4xIronclads formation...
ps. it's true in that sealed booster we got a lot of uniques (finded also orc slaver and many luminescent figures)
Our sealed is 1x unlimited and 2x minions. If uprising is out before the tournament, that'll be using. The tournament is on may 4th, so I don't think it will be uprising.
It is only three boosters, so there is a change that one will not be able to make formations, right?
I mean, 2x minions is 8 figures and 1x unlimited is 5. With a total amount of 13 figures, I see it happen that I can use only one little formation.
Maybe it's possible to do any formation in sealed... for example i've found 1 xandressan sailor and 1 xandressan captain and 1 submersible golem in the same booste.....
