An unprecedented number of people showed up to play Magic. We played a lot of casual constructed, which was fun! Far too many for a draft (18+) showed up, and as my 8th edition box had gone missing, we only had 31 packs of Betrayers. Seeing as an all betrayers draft would turn a lot of people away (not to mention it's not too fun to draft) we decided to run three consecutive games of 6 way Assassin for prizes. I had fun at my table but I know a lot of people who rather have drafted. Did you enjoy it if you played?
So for next year:
- Multiple drafts to accomodate the masses that wanted to play this year.
- Sign up sheets with NO bias (I had too many people going "Hey, can you put my name down? Hey, me too?) so nobody thinks I'm choosing favorites.
- I'm also gonna try to get ahold of Magic related prizes so that we can have draft prizes and so I can award prizes to larger pick-up games.
What else? What're your comments about this year? I know it didn't go anywhere near as smoothly as we'd hoped, and we had to do what we could with what we had. Next year, hopefully, the circumstances will be different.
Thanks for showing up to play, guys :) Next year I'll bring something besides my elfies ;)
