So, when are you going to write a program to make this visual and much easier to do, with a "print proxies" option at the end, so we can do it? :D

end of the week? ;)

Well, there's always the online drafting program I wrote - http://draft.bluebones.net/ - but I'm not sure browsers would be that happy about opening a booster with 11,000 cards in it :)

I could repurpose it to do this but then I'd have to play the games on MWS. And that sounds rubbish :(

[Dan Barrett]

can't you get your new best friends at channelfireball to supply cards for you? :P

Yesterday I played in a $10 (7 GBP) M11 sealed with 254 players. Not that you're jealous or anything :)

I guess they must. There were prizes for 10 points+ too.

There's another one on Aug 29th.

I guess I better not mention 32 players for Monday night draft at 7.50 GBP with prizes in any packs from the history of Magic that are not currently selling for more than $3.50 including all of current Standard or unsanctioned 10-proxy Legacy on Thursdays or ...

:)

The only problem is how am I going to control my addiction when they literally have events every day?

[Thom Richardson]

that is awesome!

dont fight the addiction, just go with it

i dont understand how they make any money with that prize support

[Kieran Symington]

There is no legal way that ChannelFireball could be making the money to fund its continued existence. It won't be long before they're whoring Tom out on the streets for Primeval Titans as payment for the 'favours' they've given him so far.
