Currently we have a group of five people that get together and do a booster draft every week (Rav-Guild-Dis). The tournament prizes are the rares (Rochester rare draft), and we're planning on getting more people involved and a set location. Currently we're holding it at a friend's house and are planning on buying booster boxes rather than buying the cards from the local shop which is about two blocks away for $10.50/3 packs. If we get boxes, we'll just start charging entry fees ($9/3 packs or something like that) to play and stuff. Depending on whether or not the owner of the house is cool with random people stopping by, we may move it to the park which is like two feet away from the guy's house.
Anyone interested? It's in the San Leandro/Hayward area.
In our last two drafts, we had a number of good rares:
First draft's notable rares
-Steam Vents (Izzet shockland)
-Breeding Pool (Simic shockland)
-Rakdos Pit Dragon
-Dovescape
-Loxodon Heirarch
Second draft's notable rares
-Loxodon Gatekeeper (2 of them! One foil)
-Godless Shrine (Orzhov shockland)
-Rakdos Augermage
-Blazing Archon
WOO!! MAGIC the gathering!! I wanna join!!!
