Just yesterday, Wizards of the Coast revealed the next upcoming big set after Zendikar. It is called Scars of Mirrodin which was previously codenamed as “Lights” (no, not the beer). The release date is October 1, 2010 and the Prerelease events will be on September 25-26, 2010. Here’s more info of the set: Continue reading
The previous weekend was the worldwide release party of the recent Magic: The Gathering expansion, Worldwake, which was also the expansion set of Zendikar. As players talk about the powerful cards of the set (I’m referring to the new Jace and the demon Abyssal Persecutor) which can be a possible inclusion in the current Standard, I think I can say that Worldwake isn’t that impressive like Zendikar.

Hey guys. If you want to enjoy drafting but don’t have the budget, why not try the one booster draft. Here’s how it works:
What You Need
1. A booster pack
2. Some basic lands
The Rules
1. Each player picks a card from the pack and pass it to the direction agreed by the group. Do this until all the cards in the pack are drafted.
2. The players will then create a deck out of the chosen cards provided the deck will have a minimum of 25 cards and all the drafted cards must be used.
3. They will then be randomly paired and the game time will be the same with the normal time on regular drafts.
4. Each player starts at 15 life. Whoever gets his opponent’s life to zero wins.
5. The top four players after three rounds get the prizes, or you can make it cheaper and utilize the packs by picks by rank (i.e. the first place gets the first pick, and then the next pick for the 2nd placer and so on).
So there you have it. I hope you can try it and still enjoy drafting with just a booster to spend. 😀
p.s. watch out for the report of our trip to the MTG Philippine Open last weekend. Until next time.
Okay, I might confuse you with the title. I will not be posting any new deck ideas I came up with (as if I have formulated any) but rather I’ll just share with you the two decks I’m choosing to pilot for this Saturday’s Standard Tournament.
