I think that mana curves are a little bit lower than they were in my day, due to today's card packing more bang for their buck! In my day we got 1 power for 1 mana and 2 power for 3 mana and counted ourselves lucky Bolster against a little bad luck, add another land or two depending on how bad you need it. Add a little mana fixing and take some out.

I would just go with a similar percentage: lands. I agree with this answer, although you could drop it by one if you have 2 or more mana producing artifacts or land fetching effects. Oh, okay, if card Sealed is some strange new format I've never heard of, then my comment doesn't apply.
You'd be looking at the same ratio as a card deck: lands out of 30 cards? This format is a great way to bring a deckbuilding game experience to Epic. Your draft choices can be difficult, because you know every card both players are taking. Do you draft the cards you need, or do deny your opponent the ones they covet?
Take three Epic card sets, and remove two copies of each card with a red gem in the lower-right corner. This leaves one copy of each red-gem card and three copies of each white-gem card.
Shuffle this collection. Randomly deal out three card packs to each player. Players then draft according to the Pack Draft format see above until each has a pool of 36 cards. They build a card deck, shuffle and play! Players play a series of one-on-one matches with these decks, best two-out-of-three games wins the match. This is a big one, and probably the thing that will help improve your Draft technique the most.
More often than not, these threats will be creatures. That means you need spells that either deal damage to, destroy or exile creatures - otherwise known as removal. Of course, you need more than removal to win a game You need a good selection of your own threats, too.
On top of the cards you choose, you need to keep in mind the colours of said cards and their mana cost. Generally speaking, you want to stick to two mana colours at most. In terms of mana cost, you need to be able to cast your spells. The mana curve is generally bell-shaped, with a few one-mana cards, then more two- to four-mana cards before going back down again once you get above that. You can have a couple of cards that cost over five mana, but they need to be very powerful to be worth it.
This all leads into our last point: how to actually build your Draft deck. Building your deck in Draft is a lot like building a normal MTG deck. This format is sanctioned by DCI and occurs at almost every prerelease. Many stores also make the last Friday Night Magic Tournament of the month a booster draft.
Each player is given three booster packs. Each player opens one pack and removes one card for themselves. They then take the remaining cards and pass them to the player on their left. They subsequently receive cards from the player on their right. They remove a card from the new set of cards and pass it to their left.
This process continues until there are no more cards. Players then open their second booster pack. They repeat the process, this time passing cards to their right.
