This part of the announcement interested me.

Casual Drafts

On Monday February 23, players will be able to play in casual Conflux drafts in the newly created "Casual Draft" room. These drafts will charge 0 tix, have 0 k-value, and will not pay prizes. Queues will be set up for 4, 6, and 8 players.
During next Monday, free casual drafting with Conflux. No tix charged, no cards kept. Just a free way for players to get a feel of drafting Conflux.

Nothing Special
Just to clarify... you still need cards to play and you still keep the cards you draft. They just don't cost money to enter, don't award prizes and don't effect your rating. Casual drafts existed in the old MTGO client. I guess they just hadn't implemented them in version 3 until now.
