I love teens and their loaner decks.

Kid kept asking for people to play him between rounds, I said I would but didn't have decks. He says no problem, and pulls out a mono white cat tribal modern deck. Where every card is a B&W proxy printout. Okay, whatever. It's got heavy hitters like Abuna Acolyte, Brimaz, and Raksha. No acceleration or removal, but sure.

His first turn is Swamp > Dark Ritual > Dark Ritual > Dark Ritual Sol Ring > Griselbrand. Also all B&W proxy printout. He was confused why anyone would question playing these decks against each other.

The experience was honestly surreal, and at first I thought he was trolling and applauded him on it.

"Local" 129 player modern event was won by 150 card Scapeshift, eight rounds and top 8. I think that is pretty cool!

Those aren't real packs, it's just the packaging mockup. That's why the planeswalkers in the planeswalker decks don't have any text.

Chat told me that.

Is it really leagues with no queue? I can only play a scheduled match?

Also, thanks for answering. I trust their help only far enough to confirm that something can't happen, but not how to actually play a game the way I want to.

I'm being very serious when I ask if this is sarcasm. I only see options to play on 1/25/2017, which is in the past. Or I can spend $30 to play a tournament.

Leagues are not dailies, you start drafting as soon as 8 people show up and then you do the deckbuilding and games whenever you want instead of having to block out three hours at once. Make sure you're clicking the right tab in the play screen.

My filter options are:

Commander Just For Fun Free For All
Standard Tournament Practice

None of these meet my requirement of paying event tickets and playing a draft.

I don't mean for it to just sound contrary, but I really miss pod play. The fact that if your draft was a train wreck then it's likely everybody else's was too was a nice comfort. It's especially annoying in cube situations with singleton drafting.

Cube would be better in pods, absolutely.

I love not waiting for rounds though. I got two drafts in today in the time it would have taken to do one before.
