The Ultimate Magic Draft

[Ransac]

Why aren't the other matches happening!?!?!?! I know that turgy22 and Zigathon are currently AWOL, but shouldn't Oversoul vs. Melkor be going on, too?


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Melkor]

Because we're building suspense.

 

[Ransac]

I'm going to assume that Oversoul is to blame for this delay.... since he smells bad...

[Spiderman]

*sniffs, and then gags*

Phew, you're right...

 

[Melkor]

So we should actually start this game sometime Oversoul.

 

[Oversoul]

The sooner we start it, the sooner I'm going to have to put a hurting on you. But yeah, let's go...

I am so dead...

 

[Ransac]

Ransac clobbers Spidey, 2-0.

According to Swiss rules, I'll get the winner of Oversoul/Melkor next.

[Spiderman]

Man, you'll be waiting a while for that one

I'm not familiar with Swiss rules, so who do I play next?

 

[Ransac]

Swiss rules work this way:

You only play someone who has the same record as you. This means you can play against the loser of Oversoul/Melkor or the winner of the other games going on. Swiss format is the way that Regionals/Nationals/Worlds works.

So I gotta wait...

I thought we were just moving in some fashion around the draft table.

 

[Ransac]

Nah. We're having some structure to it.

[Melkor]

Now what were you all complaining about? Our game is over, Oversoul won 2-0. I believe the first time was on the third turn, through miraculous drawing. Maybe not so miraculous, but if he doesn't draw a land that he can tap for black or blue, I would have really had a good chance. The second game was a second turn kill, when I was going to play my silver bullet for his deck on the third turn.

 

[Ransac]

I'm praying that I can hold him off with any one of my silver bullets against him. I've got about 3-4 that can outright stop him.


Methinks that I may have to mulligan a few times each game.

[Oversoul]

The final showdown of good versus evil begins next round...

 

[Ransac]

You're playing the combo deck, which means you're the evil one.


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Oversoul]

Believe me, I know it.

 

[DarthFerret]

I had the combo...can you believe it, in the opening hand, and Turgy the LD queen had to keep me from it....grrrrrrrrrrrr.

 

[Ransac]

Okay, sorry about my absence this summer. You guys wanna go on to round 3, now?


Ransac, cpa trash man

 

[Spiderman]

I'm ready... but I still don't know who I'm facing.

 

[Ransac]

Who is still active that is in this?
