Magic
September 2nd 2005 -
We started another magic tournament this week at lunchtimes: the “Awesome card” draft. We each selected 75 cards we thought would be awesome to draft, mixed them up, and did a draft, and yes, it was pretty awesomely difficult to pick amongst the incredible cards.
I initially thought I had drafted fairly poorly, because I’d drafted a red-white deck, and red-white is not a very synergistic combination. However, I’ve done pretty well so far. I’ve won two matches, and had an absolute thriller of a first game against David K. My deck is mostly removal (multiple lightning bolts, swords to ploughshares, spirit links, maze of iths, and lots of other removal including wrath of god and earthquake) in anticipation of the awesome creatures that will come up. And David’s deck was mostly awesome creatures. So we fought each other to a standstill, and ended up drawing the game when I caused us to simultanously draw seven cards, decking both of us.
Very exciting so far. I’m really enjoying MTG at the moment.
