I remember when Magic the gathering was first released......
Shhhh lol. Nate's been in business with M:tG being the focus since about the time that Unlimited released, LOL
I don't know what the store was, something in downtown Saint Louis. It's the one that my mate typically buys his cards at, I've never been there and actually don't know the name haha.
They had 2 of those box thingies and had groups playing separately since the box thing (that plays into the storyline somehow, the hell box thing) was made for 54 or so? Anyways, it was weird b/c a lot of the people knew each from Friday Night Magic and other tournaments and I felt like a loner, but that's ok. Also, I felt silly b/c I kept getting corrected on rules as I was trying to play games with just little details that I did wrong or that I did out of turn, but.... oh well.
All's well that ends well! (:
Superior deck construction and strategy beat out the tiny rule loopholes.
Hellvault ;) We had a hellvault event at Midnight Friday, and another on Sunday at noon. Sounds like you were at Fantasy Shop, we've been there a few times. Its actually in St Charles, not St Louis (unless they've moved since we were there last!)
M:tG rules are ALWAYS changing, one of the little things that annoys me about it at times.
I've only done one MTG tournament, it was one where you draw cards there and have to build a deck from the cards you draw, but you get to keep them. I paid like 20 bucks and drew a 30 dollar card, so was a win for me, even though I lost Grats on winning!
Sounds like you played in a draft, Kyler. Three packs - open one, choose a card, pass to the person next to you, continue til the pack is gone, open the next pack, choose, pass the other direction? Drafts are good like that, most of the time we have them where you play for the cards, or you keep the cards and we throw in a pack per person who plays as a prize.
I think this is the most I've ever had to talk about work on here. XD
