MBS, SOM, SOM Drafting

Joey told me the other night that draft is the one format he wouldn't be willing to stake me in yet.

Sooooo guess what I've been practicing.

I've been using the TCGPlayer Single Draft Utility for practice. Not the most reliable software, but it's a start.

I'm just going to use this thread to post my draft numbers if any of you want to look them up or if I need to look them up again later. It's actually nifty because you can go back and look at the pick-by-pick, which I might go over with Joey / Ken when we're waiting for Magic Online rounds to start late in the morning.

Great draft articles on ChannelFireball, Especially by Wrapter (David Ochoa), who is basically a MODO draft shark.

He outlines the entire change, and goes through pick analysis, and makes very unconventional picks at times. He makes it work.

This is the best skill to practice on MODO, since you can always fire one up. It's the primary reason I would start a MODO account, and I vowed that I would do so a couple of years ago, and just never did. Perhaps now is a good time, if I can have someone over my shoulder to help.

I do the MODO thing with Ken & Joey, but don't feel like creating an account to strictly draft until I'm regularly attending PT's. Doesn't seem worth the investment.

On [url=tappedout.net]tappedout.net[/url] you can draft with real people. However to play your draft you need to find a group of people who would play over MWS with you.

Would it be possible to pick a time for all of us to get on to draft? I don't know how the site works.
