MTGO is Magic that you can play while not wearing pants. It's also somewhat cheaper than regular Magic.-

A quick look at my game store suggests that wearing pants is not required in face to face magic, either.One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.-

Managed to draft Red/Green at FNM yesterday. Won.
And holy shit our pool of cards was batshit insane. We do rare redraft and god was I happy to be first.
Got Atarka first pick, then came around to me again, so ninth pick, and Shorecrasher Elemental is still on the table. Ended up with seven rares or foils because there were ten foils in the pool (10/24 packs had a foil. Three of them were rares, only two of the rares weren't playable.), my promo for coming first and second place gave me the last one because I did so well. (Won every round 2-0)Don't @ me.-

I feel that it punishes new players, and makes FNM Drafting less appealing. If I'm a new player at my first FNM and I crack a foil Ugin, and then lose it because I'm not good at drafting, I'm not going to come back. I'm a pretty experienced drafter at this point, and I still wouldn't be comfortable drafting with a rare redraft because I don't always win. It just feels unnecessarily punishing, and I don't think it "encourages players to draft better", which is the usual argument I hear for it.-

Rare redrafts are for cheap drafts with your friends where the rares are the only way you can do prize support. Rare redrafts arenotfor FNM, because I feel like a store should be obligated to have packs if they do prizes.Showjdodge1019: hasjghsalghsakljghs is from vermont
jdodge1019: vermont is made of liberal freaks and cows
jdodge1019: he's not a liberal
jdodge1019: thus he is a cow
----
very much a liberal now
Hascow/Cow are acceptable shortened names, never "Has"-

well... uhhh...some people play magic because they enjoy playing magic.
I'm sorry you appear to not be one of those people?tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner
