Original Post:

A while ago I assembled the cards for a Pauper cube on MTGO.

It's where Armadillo Cloak meets Agony Warp and Izzet Signets power out Ninja of the Deep Hours. It should be quite fun.

I have some software for doing a draft through your browser but it's not finished and I don't have time to work on it now. So let's just do a low tech draft. I'll send you an email with a list of cards in your first booster. You remove the card you want and forward the email on to the person specified. It'll probably take a few days to complete the draft but who cares. You're on the honor system not to look ahead if packs queue up for you (as they surely will).

Then you email me the complete list of cards you drafted and I transfer them (temporarily!) to your MTGO account to play the games.

It's a bit manual, but I think it would be cool. And if it's that good, I'll work on the browser-based drafter for future runs.

If you want to draft, reply with your MTGO nick to this thread.

The big advantage to doing it this way is that I am in the US and don't get to play otherwise!

But yeah, even if we use the realtime drafter we can always play games at a more leisurely pace. Either way can be good in different circs.

I was thinking we were doing swiss, but round robin 2/3 sounds good

[Thomas David Baker]

I don't know about you but I have now seen all 8 boosters from Pack 3. 7 picks to go!

Assuming we finish some time tomorrow I can dole out the cards Friday night if you're up super late or Saturday afternoon. I'm bakert99 on MTGO, [e-mail] on MSN, sleague.geo on YIM and [e-mail] on GTalk.

What I need from you is a list of all the cards you need, one per line. You can send via email or IM.

Edit: Just realized Saturday is the Keith Loveys. So I guess I will dole them out to drunkards who stagger home Saturday night or Sunday afternoon.

I think I was a bit premature. It's now more than 48 hours since I received a pack. Is this a case of the Beer Distribution Game? Or are there just people in the game who only check their email every few days?

[Amidu]

fucking noobs obv

ps where are my packs

YAWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN.

[Daniel Royde]

It is a bit silly, do we know who they're stacked on?
This is the last time I sent a booster: Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 12:28 PM To Glen

[Amidu]

I woke up and didn't find packs in my hotmail. wtf. rob =/= happy bunny

[Ben Titmarsh]

I sent all 8 to Amar here:

Rob is after Amar, I would suggest they are all in Amar's inbox... unless you can say otherwise dude?

[Thomas David Baker]

Hmm. Perhaps Amar is dead? Has anyone seen him?

[Tom Reeve]

I heard from him last night, he'd won the byes at the Gravesend GPT with my dredge deck.
