I'm going to a sealed booster draft for Helvault prerelease. It'll be my first draft. Can anyone give me some tips/quick run down of how it's done?

Remembering that you only need 40 cards in your deck and that you need to make it as effective as possible.
Make your choices based on synergy with other cards you have chosen, and usually limit how many colours you have.
How it works is you each open a booster pack pick 1 card and then pass it to the next person. Picking cards from those decks till there are none left, then repeat but passing in the opposite direction. And finally for the third round back the original direction.

All the cards you have picked are your deck and sideboard, add as many land as necessary. Make sure you have 40 or more cards. Play.

Enjoy! It's usually one of the most even playing formats there are so pick well and build an effective deck.

Thanks! I assume then, I bring my own land?

Bring enough just in case, but they often do provide some you can borrow/purchase/have.
