OK. I never done this on the net before, so I will need some coaching along. I assume we are going to follow the picking order for a matter of 45 times, then construct decks..
Yup. Then we'll play a little mini-tournament. Hopefully, it will be fun. And don't worry. I've never done this before either, so I'm not sure what to expect.Lythand said:OK.

Correct. All Vintage-legal cards are fair game. So, basically, no ante cards or Chaos Orb or Un-cards.Ransac said:Woot! Drafting rules!
So, just a quick clarification of the rules:
We may pick any card that has been printed (all sets? even promotional?), but each card may be picked only once.
Correct again.Ransac said:After the draft is over, I am correct to assume that we may select any combination of basic lands we please?
That's all I can think of for now. I think everyone's got the gist of my idea right now. If we run into any snafus along the way, we can try to hammer them out.Ransac said:Also, if there are any other rules, go ahead and post them.
Non-basic lands count toward your draft picks. If you want one, you have to draft it.Homestar said:Quick question... Do non-basic lands count towards your drafts or do you pick those at the end too?
I believe it's called "Serpentine", so the snake comment is accurate.turgy22 said:For anyone who's ever participated in a fantasy draft before, the order is going to be reversed for all the even numbered rounds. I'm not sure if that has a name, but I call it a snake draft since it goes back and forth.
Ack! You'll mess up the perfect sanctity of the 8-man tournament! Sigh. I suppose you can join. We'll just have to play some sort of round-robin or swiss style tournament. But to be fair to everyone else, you'll have to pick last.Zigathon said:Hey! Is it to late to get in on this?
The prize is getting to tell everyone else that you won.Zigathon said:Does the winner get a single copy of the cards they drafted, or a single copy of every Magic card?
There had better be a prize.
Hmmm... that's not a card. But I suppose you can have Library of Alexandria.Spiderman said:I'll take Library of Alexandra.
Agreed.Ransac said:To make everything tidy, (and I'm sure that I'm merely stating the obvious), let's have the other thread be solely for the drafting and we can continue this thread for criticizing and comments regarding the picks.
