Friday: Twas a good one. RP had a near TPK but fortunatly we didn't all die horribly....best moment probably Andy dim dooring to the reverse gravity field Clare and I were stuck in. And then using Teleport to transport us up to 1200 miles away....in this case the teleport destination was....100 ft across the room :P
Saturday: Lunch and then Alex's in the evening...so much cake....
Sunday : Breakfast. More RP...Mostly spent having Drowbodies corpses pasted over our own as a disguise and then infiltrating a Drow house....
Then the evening M:TG 2HG draft...this was a lot of fun. I really liked this draft format. It was good to be able to discuss picks with your partner and the murmur of conversation in the room gave it a nice atmosphere. In the end Andy and I were only beaten by Phil and Tim. Making us the eventual victors :)...it seems everyone pretty much drafted a Domain deck and "another" deck...but that's the weirdness of a triple conflux draft format...we're hoping to be able to think about doing something similar with a Shadowmoor box or something at some point...maybe SSE? Depending on stock and cost etc...but not right away hehe.

Date: 2009-03-09 05:26 pm (UTC)The main point of last night really was to open the boosters in the box in a much more fun way than us sitting at home opening packs....
But as I say perhaps people might be up for the getting together for Shadowmoor Shadowmoor Eventide 2HG draft depending on prices and stuff?
And also if people are amenable when AR comes out we might be able to organise a Shards Conflux Reborn draft?
Otherwise when Reborn comes out I'll no doubt be buying a box and will want to crack that open in a similar fasion....interestingly the preview card today from Magic Arcana was a multi colour 3 drop....which was numbers 1/145....Which possibly implies a completely multicolour set....which assuming no hybrid cards means no 1 drops....weird....
