wth ankoku. i never woulda thought you played.

O_o apparently there are a few people that play magic.

yeah alex, i'm going down to GYGO for the booster draft this friday. then this saturday if the tournament ends early enough i'm gonna go with a friend to their 2HG booster draft.

 

[HiddenBowser]

There's more people who haven't spoken up as well.

 

[Jermesque]

I played MTG from Urza Block to Mirrodin Block.

Haven't bought cards since Darksteel >.>

P.S. Hi Lain, how's the wife and kids?

 

[RashTuvai]

who would?

 

[SCOTU]

who would?

not me.

 

[Scala]

I know how to play and if I was rich I would invest the time and money to play this, however I'm not rich but I do enjoy MTG a lot.

This is why you people need moar booster drafts. Seriously.

And Lain, I may be going to the one on Friday. I'll be the one there holding up everyone else because I haven't played magic in so long. And I'll be reading all the cards, since I haven't seen a set since the beginning of Mirrodin (when I stopped playing).

How much do booster drafts usually cost and where is the one located that you/lain might be going to? I might be interested in meeting up :3

Cheap. I usually played in anywhere between $5 to $10 booster drafts, and you end up with a good amount of cards if you do well. I'm not sure of GYGO's pricing, but I'm sure its not that bad. Drafts definitely beat having to spend your entire bank account just to get a decent deck.

And GYGO is located right next to my/Vayseth's place, which is about 10 minutes walking distance from where Rofa's biweeklies were at. We potentially could smash after the draft, but I'm fairly sure I have to record a podcast sometime this weekend, so I dunno exactly when I'll be free.

 

[Scala]

Poo. I don't really want to drive out to AA Friday, and then again on Saturday.

That's cheaper than I thought it would be. It really sucks if you want to get into the game itself because there is a couple hundred dollar initial investment (if you want to have a chance) and then you have to keep updating~

 

[Vayseth]

Scala: Read my thread plz

Do ya know what booster drafts are? The entire tournament starts with people making a deck out of booster packs they get. Then you play the tournament with that deck. Doesn't require any extra money or any updating.

 

[Zankoku]

GYGO's cool enough to supply us with the basic lands, right?
Anyway, I can't go, but I'll think about it in the future...

Also, wtf booster drafts at $5? Three boosters on their own cost $12, how could you not kill your own business running an eight-man draft at less than half that price?

 

[Vayseth]

Don't you get a promo box, or something? Basically, they got the box for free anyway?

 

[SamuraiPanda]

That wasn't GYGO's pricing. I dunno what they do. And yeah it was a bit more expensive whenever we got some guys together and bought an entire box to hold a booster draft in my friends house. But those were still awesome, especially because my brother and I usually did really well so we got first picks on the rares, and we make decks from the same pool of cards, so we essentially got 2x the rares everyone else did :D

 

[lain]

$15 booster draft.

at that price, it's 3 boosters and the rest basically goes to the store, which helps them give out prizes like a box of boosters to first and **** like that.

top 8 get like a **** ton of booster i think. or maybe that was juust because the last booster was for a pre-release event.

 

[HiddenBowser]

constructed is $5

 

[Scala]

Scala: Read my thread plz

Sorry, which one? I looked back a page and then hit up the OP and I don't see anything.


As for the booster drafts, how do you make a deck out of 3 booster packs? Don't they have 10 or so cards each and don't you need like 50 for a deck?

Anyways I'll probably skip out on the one on friday since I've had some bills to pay and.. yeah, you know the deal.

 

[Hot_ArmS]

i was thinking the same thing ^^^^

 

[Zankoku]

Packs are 15 cards each - 11 commons, 3 uncommons, 1 rare. Drafts are usually 8 people, each opens a pack, picks a card, passes the rest left/right; picks a card, etc. until all the cards are picked, then opens the next pack, until all three packs are done with. Then you grab some basic lands and make a 40 card deck. All unused cards become your sideboard.

I tried to hit ya up on AIM. I was gonna say you could come out for that and then stay over Friday and Saturday, but it might be better if you just come out Saturday.

Yeah, thanks for the offer. We gotta play some friendlies on Saturday though, I haven't gotten to play you yet!

My AIM is being wierd but yeah I never got a message. No worries though.

 

[alcoady]

i might go to one of these bi-weeklies just to see all you guys again.

Which one does everyone usually show up to?

 

[SCOTU]

none of them. but i'll probalby be at the digi-ops one this sunday or something if tony can go and stuff.

 

[Vayseth]

The tournaments lately have been real hit or miss. Most get around 20 people however, this one on Sunday looks like it'll be rather big. I'm excited.

 

[RashTuvai]

lol, qft (10 char)

rofl! sorry for picking at you bowyer. It's just part of my satire of smashboards. nothing personal. it's the only thing that keeps me posting on here, since brawl still sucks

 

[BrawlBro]

any1 going to warped tour tommorow?

 

[Vayseth]

You'd better be coming to my tournament everyone! IT'S XBOX HUGE.

Translation: this is turning out to be likely one of the highest level Brawl tournaments Michigan has ever had, and potentially have one of the largest turnouts, too (not including the early Brawl UMBs)

 

[Vayseth]

It might even beat those out...

 

[ShardZ]

Hey, just wanted to give you guys a heads up on the upcoming biweeklies tl_crow will be running for SC4 in case anyone is interested. The thread for the first tourney (8/15) is here: http://www.caliburforum.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=33376

why wouldn't you count those? I'd say they were pretty successful at starting MI's brawl scene.

Also, i heard that it only had an average turnout (but did draw Vidjo and OS).

It had 14 teams, which is really good for MI. But then dropped to 26 entrants in singles, due to people playing in friendlies and then wanting to go because the competition was so fierce. It definitely was fierce competition and no n00bs wanted to stay. Hopefully we'll get a huge turnout for the circuit event.

 

[lain]

well, it didn't draw JUST vidjo and OS, it brought all the other talent from the other states too... a little more then a third of the entrants were OOS'ers.

UMB's are cool though. sign me up for that hot melee. : )

lol, whoops. Maybe I shouldn't've crushed souls since I was planning on leaving before singles.

ATTN: EVERYONE

MSOP 3 is in only 5 days or whatever, and we really need to go to this cause it's not bad at all to get to. Both ways TOTAL, it will cost about $106. So let's just say $30 from each person if we get 4. Anther and I already want to go, so WHO ELSE WANTS TO GO.

i mean, it'd be ridiculous not to go. it's super cheap to get to, and it's the first MW circuit event. LET'S DO THIS.
