It's one of the reasons why I often just draft Swiss. I think it's a huge trap (in terms of overall happiness, if that makes any sense) to look at drafts just in terms of their financial EV. The draft itself, including the drafting, deckbuilding, and playing the games - those all have value. They aren't just activities that you do because you can win some money. The game of Magic itself should be something you love doing.
In fact, the only reason I draft 8-4 at all is to challenge myself by playing against better players. The added value can be nice, but the whole "one and done" thing means I don't get to learn as much, play as much, etc. I don't know if my RW deck was a good deck that got screwed, or if it was going to lose anyway because it wasn't that good of a deck to begin with. Et cetera.
I know there are a lot of people who get value from drafting by winning and getting the greatest financial benefit from those wins as is possible. I'm not one of those. I love playing Magic - I love the challenge of drafting, and finding sweet things to do with otherwise "bad" cards. Yes, I love winning. But the prizes I get for winning are second to the experience of drafting, playing, and then winning.
Zur the Enchanter exploded, btw. Pick it up now if humanly possible.
For Commander, I assume? I figured that anyone who played Commander would have known to go out and buy one as soon as they announced Theros as the "enchantment block."
