Chill la Chill posted:Seeing a draft that's proceeding as quiet as a library is the worst thing. I've seen it before. It's maddening. There is a happy medium between poker-faced wanna-be-pros doing a timed draft in silence and complete chaos. The FNM draft at the shop I go to is pretty casual, people talk a bit, but we try to enforce a few basic things, like: -Don't train packs. If someone is still making a pick and you've already passed them a pack, don't pass them a second pack. You can gently rib them for being a slow-poke if they're not a new player, but don't loving train packs. Just don't. -Have a single face-down pile for your picks so far, preferably on top of your unopened packs so it's completely unambiguous -Don't actually show your picks or tell people what cards you've taken or are passing. -Seriously, don't loving train packs. Apart from that it's pretty loose.There will always be people saying stuff like "wow this pack is just terrible" or "geez can I just take this whole pack" or "hah of course that crappy rare tabled" which obviously wouldn't fly at competitive REL, but gently caress it, it's FNM. Or often people will be talking about something completely unrelated to Magic during the draft.

LOL. The point of drafting is to make a good fun deck but it's also to add to your collection without just opening packs and then throwing out the junk commons/uncommons. I just did an Eternal Masters draft where I p3p1 took a Chrome Mox over a Fact or Fiction that would have been great for my deck. I took a Sinkhole when I wasn't in black. If you would pass a $45+ rare for a $.05 common that is good for your deck you must have a whole lot more disposable income than I do.

The point of drafting is to have fun and draft more. If I pull a card that will pay for my next three drafts, I'd say that's absolutely the point.

There is only one thing that tilts players more than a game 1 leyline, its a turn one bogle. Together they are glorious.

Drafted EMA again last night. Went 2-1 and ended up in b/g "elves" with black value creatures (gravedigger, nekrataal, phyrexian gargantua, phyrexian rager) and only 8 elves. 2 llanowar, 2 plague witch, elvish vangaurd, lys alana scarblade, lys alana huntmaster, and a timberwatch elf. Oh and a Fact or Fiction because that card is bonkers and should not have been 6th pick. Even with as few elves as I had timberwatch elf was still crazy good. Especially in the elf mirror in round 3. Best play of the game was after my opponent cast a squadron hawk and searched up 2 more of them I got to cabal therapy two of them out of his hand.

DangerDongs posted:Why is training packs such a huge deal? Because inevitably someone picks up the wrong pile and everyone is confused at having the wrong number of cards in their last couple picks, or someone reaches for a pack and smushes two piles together. It's just a dumb thing to do because it can screw with the draft and it doesn't actually speed anything up. It's like rushing to be the first one in line to get on the plane. The plane isn't going to leave any faster because you were first in line. Entropic fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jun 13, 2016 |
