Your deck must be a min of 40 cards made from the cards picked in the draft. And game format will have to be free form.

To do this draft we will be using the draftling found at www.pdcmagic.com you will need to create an account there ahead of time.
The draft its self will be held this saturday starting at 9am est time. If this is a problem for anyone please let me know when a better time might be.
In order to use the draftling there has to be a min of 5 people in the queue ready to draft or it wont start. Once the draft is over a new window will open with all the selected cards. This list must be sent to me in a pm here on the fourm as a precaution to prevent cheating. (not that i think it would be a problem) once the draft is over and you send me the list if there are any cards on the list you wish to use but dont have please inform me of what they are and i will post them in the forum and get them for you. (this way not everyone will know what you want to play)

The first phase of this round we will draft 3 packs of lorwyn, then about half way through we will draft again with 3 packs of shadowmoor.

i am really looking forward to this, i have always found drafts to be fun and they are a great way to imporve deck building skills. as helpful hint it is wise to study up on the lorwyn and shadowmoor spoilers you can find them here http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/ oh and it looks like i keep spellin lorwyn wrong sry.

I will not be able to join you on the Saturday drafting, as I head from work to a wedding event. I'll will check on the forums again to see if a group of people have picked out another time, and determine what I can do from there. If I am the stand alone in this problem, I can just sit the event out.

gromhan we should be able to work something else out what time would ge good for you?

does anyone else have a problem making it on saturday?

I don't think I can make it on Saturday. 9am est will be 2pm gmt, and i'm going to be working 7-12 that day, then I need to go birthday shopping in the afternoon.

Provided my work schedule stays the same I should be able to do it Tuesday - Thursday after 3pm est. Worst case, I'm sure the following weekend I will have time. Things are crazy with my fiancee's sister's wedding and my own coming soon... Less than 8 weeks! Agh!!

quick question wouldnt it be nice to do alara-conflux instead since those are all new cards?

the draftling doesnt support those sets yet

The first 4 of us just got done with our draft, it went smoothly and I now have a mainly blue/green pool to play with. Hope I can build a decent deck now. Good luck everyone else with the league.

it did indeed go smoothly and was pretty quick i think it was less then 30 mins

to keep things fair i can either pm my cardlist to anyone who request it or i can post it right here in the fourm. i only suggest this because i seem to be ending up doing more then one draft to fill up spots in the queue. let me know if this is needed

Can we organize another draft? I couldn't make Saturday. I'm in the est time zone and can usually do anytime after 1pm.

i hope to do our second draft for the leauge this sunday between 8 and 9 am est time. please let me know if this will work for everyone

that's 5-6 am pacific, i wouldn't put money on my attendance in spite of my best intentions. 8-9 am pacific is more realistic for me which is 11-12 am est and 3-4 pm gmt. 9-10 am pacific is even better for me; allows time for me to caffeinate adequately to prevent me from drooling torpidly onto my keyboard.

alright that acully sounds like a better time for everyone. 11-12 est time it is then... i might run out and get some lunch before but i should be back in lots of time. wouldnt be the first time i went for tacos at 10.30 in the morning

thanks for the feedback
