Magic: Invitational Modern Masters Draft: ComicReaders Downtown

[Tempest]

As it stands, I was thinking if you have enough active people who are interested, and there are more veteran players on a list of potential openings than there are spots to draft, I might just bow out. I noticed the set will be available for drafting online as well, so I'll probably just do that. Hopefully that way more people will have the chance to play. I keep trying to make it out to some of the regular events this summer, but I don't think that's gonna happen. No worries either way, really.

I see you enough in-person that I'll give you updates as they develop, but keep an eye on the forum, too, for information.

Brad, as per an earlier post on this forum, ComicReaders Downtown is inviting back "veterans" for a draft event in July or August. You are, in fact, on that list, as well as some other players that we know used to play here but no longer do so for one reason or another. So keep your eyes on this forum (or feel free to inquire at the store) for future news.

That said, I wish I could hold draft events for everyone in the community that wanted to take part, but Wizards of the Coast, makers of MTG, made this a limited product, which means there is not enough for everyone. That is why I chose to celebrate our current, active players (and veterans) and not make it available for sale for anyone that walked in off the street. This product is so limited I had someone call me from Calgary wanting to buy a box!

Feedback from our players has been very positive thus far. I feel I made the right decision. But I knew that whatever decision I made would not please everyone. That was bound to happen with such a limited and highly sought after product. I hope you continue to be a friend of ComicReaders Downtown, Brad, and I hope I see you at the veterans event.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Chad. I know we talked about it in the store but I saw this post on here, emailed the store for clarification and got a response from Lareina that said "only current players are eligible to play in the tournament- see post on sask games forum" so I was confused.

I do apologize for any confusion made, I meant that at the time being current players are eligible, but didn't expand to say that veteran players were going to be invited at a future time.

I've done a few drafts with this set online recently, it's pretty fun. If I may attempt to provoke some casual conversation here, out of those who have participated, what are some of your favourite archetypes so far? I've tried a few different things, like gw aggro, saprolings, affinity, although my most recent success has come from UG suspend.

Edit: I have to note this SOMEWHERE, because it makes me wanna cry... just in the process of doing an online phantom Modern Masters draft, third pack, first pick, foil 'goyf. Oh well, at least it's in my colours!
