Now, I will admit I don’t like the price structure of buying MTGO cards on top of the price of the paper magic cards. So, I do practice drafts online and watch the nice videos by folks like Marshall to learn about deeper/different drafting ideas.

And I choose not to play online. (Hint to Wizards: I’d happily play for a monthly membership of, say, $15.00 for “all I can eat” drafting. I don’t even care if I get to keep the virtual cards. Still, I wouldn’t call it anything as dramatic as a “boycott” — it is simply a choice.

Choices are good. As long as no one is being cheated or misled, why would that be a bad thing?

Kezzedrix, what’s wrong with prerelease events. They’re an absolute blast. I always look forward to that weekend. Sleep at night during the “insanity” crowded hours, and then play all day.

They tell you the price ($25) for a prelease box, so it’s not like anyone is getting cheated. It’s also not like anyone is FORCING someone to play.

Why not just boycott MTG altogether? After all, they’re only selling you cardboard…

Hey, Marshall Great draft!

Latley you’ve been sounding somewhat drained when doing these but your energy was up high today.
I’ve been watching/commenting/trolling since LR was you and Ryan.
You’ve come a long way, maybe consider picking up a partner again?

OR at least make another of these with the new sets coming out :

@sceptile Blue was open based on what? I saw a Retraction Helix and a Divination, which are quality commons, but still, you can’t say “The guys to the left of you are passing quality blue, they gave up a Divination.” If you get a Siren of the Fanged Coast or a Tromokratis, that’s a signal. But those cards could easily have been what was taken *over* the Divination, in which case Blue would be completely locked out as they tried to fill in that curve.

What you could say from that pack is that Black was completely unavailable, which is at least suggestive, and that someone hadn’t taken a quality White Uncommon. So *White* was probably pretty open.

Marshall, you broke your “never concede” motto in match 3 game 1! If you had just played Lagonna-Band Elder, you’d have gained life and been able to trade or chump to stay alive one more turn. The situation was dire, but could’ve come out of it. Even if not, maybe you’d make him show you more cards. At least it didn’t matter anyway

Don’t create an account and log in before commenting. Account creation and logging in should be boycotted due to its terrible prize structure.

Seriously, I didn’t even get a booster pack
