Hey, f.ds!

I am here to gauge interest in running some kind of M:TG Draft with some of you guys. I know that there are a few people that have expressed interest in Magic at one point or another. I recently got Shraeye interested when I dragged him with me to the Gatecrash Prerelease.

So is this something that people would be interested in? Can we get 8 to do a booster draft? Obviously it would be just for fun, and we could use a program like Cockatrice to play matches.

In List:

1. TheMunch
2. Shraeye
3. Axxle
4. Insomniac
5. Grujah
6. Bozzball

/in I'm all for this! Most recently drafted RTR made a somewhat janky Bant bounce/detain/populate deck that took me to the win!

I would love to draft Gatecrash. I also did some drafting of Return to Ravnica on MTGO but have been having significantly more fun drafting GTC.

In. I agree, gtc is more fun to draft than rtr, but i'd do older sets too, i hear zendikar, timespiral and rise of eldrazi are superfun. I guess we can play the decks out on mws or something like that?

Axxle · « **Reply #10 on:** February 14, 2013, 11:40:34 pm »

One of my favorite drafts was a 6 man where everyone picked 3 different packs that were mutually exclusive, so no one had the a card from the same expansion. Luckily goblins are everywhere and I got passed a goblin recruiter so I just drafted goblin tribal and smashed faces. Woo!

Actually, anyone want to nostalgia it up with original Ravnica? Not sure how good that draft format was though. I'm fine with anything really (if you can tell from my anecdote)

I'd cube too if we find a good one.

But I think for the first game GTC is quite good starting point - people know it, and is actually a fun draft format.

TheMunch · « **Reply #12 on:** February 15, 2013, 09:22:33 am »

I agree that GTC is a good place to start. I know other forums and such have run drafts so I know its possible, but I need to figure out how to facilitate the passing of the packs, whether a program can handle this or what. I normally play games through Cockatrice. It is the easiest to setup with a better game interface than MWS, but it does have a slightly worse deck building interface (namely I wish it had a way to directly move cards between MB and SB in the deck building screen; you can SB in match though and that works incredibly well... why they cant make something similar work for the deckbuilding interface is beyond me)

http://tappedout.net/ has a drafting system, it's kind of buggy though.

I've played Magic IRL with a friend two or three times, and some with one of the digital versions on PlayStation, so I know the basics...I'd like to join if no one minds a beginner to beat up on

I've introduced quite a few of my friends to magic through drafting, I think it'll be fine! Just remember: B.R.E.A.D. Bombs, Removal, Evasive/Efficient, Aggressive/Card Advantage, Dregs. We'll give you more tips on drafting if you need it.

Are people free this weekend?

michaeljb · « **Reply #19 on:** February 16, 2013, 01:54:32 am »

I should have some time tomorrow in the morning/early afternoon, and possibly on Sunday afternoon/evening.

Wait, before signing up - will the games themselves be asynchronous? Not sure I have time for synchronous internet play at the moment.
