No hints No divulging of information No active distraction If someone asks for your thoughts--you say "can't tell you" If someone asks for a ruling--you say "ask the judge" If someone asks for non-game information (like price of a card)--you say "after the match" | ||

This may vary by location. My favorite judge ruling ever was "This is an FNM, not a GP, just grab a card and that's random enough." | ||

I was trying to give the business to the local game stores, but now I'm going to like Amazon instead... Also, why is the M15 fat pack more expensive than other sets from ~ a year or two ago? edit: I'd also like to do a bit of FNM draft but I honestly don't think I can make it to the store by 7pm most of the time anyway so probably just won't happen lol. Also, I played a 6 booster sealed fun event with coworkers and the like, and won all of my matches. Either 9 months away from the game didn't hurt me or returner's beginner's luck was enough to overcome my casual coworkers :p I really don't think my 6 booster card pool was anything spectacular. | ||

The first one had almost no parking and there was an event going on so I gave up lol. The second one also had no parking because there was some skateboarding event in the parking lot, but I found somewhere to dump my car. They had no boxes from any set left. The third store had no parking nearby because of a fall festival but eventually I dumped my car and got to the store. They also had no boxes from any set.

Yea that's the hard thing for me is finding boxes usually. The store I go to usually has enough product the first few weeks of a new set because I think they order more but they dont carry much sealed product (I tried going in on Monday and all they had was a few packs of THS/JIN ~.~) Also did a draft last night of BFZ, was pretty fun, went 2-1, 1-2 with a Black Red Devoid/Ally thing. | ||

Still building up the cards, but Anafenza, Abzan Charm, and Drana just seem way too good to do without in the current format. I tinkered with a watered down version of Atarka Red this week (basically just swapped in Regent/Flamewake in Sideboard for hangarbacks and Ire Shamans for Abbots since I have neither). There's a Grixis Aggro/Dragons list that intrigued me and a couple of the archetypes from SCG Atlanta are ones I'm going to look into. | ||

More videos here, some of them can actually be pulled off early enough, at around turn 5, if everything survives of course. | ||

It's not the best deck ever, but I think it's competitive enough. | ||

Some guys were trying to use eldrazi but I had countermeasures to just deal 1 damage to enemies which really hurt them, and they couldn't get their fatties out. I love the 7 mana annihilator 2 guy though. | ||

I tried doing a WR ally deck last night and did respectably (second place in my pod of 8 after 3 rounds), but it doesn't seem as effective as the landfall deck I made in constructed with friends last week. Some guys were trying to use eldrazi but I had countermeasures to just deal 1 damage to enemies which really hurt them, and they couldn't get their fatties out. I love the 7 mana annihilator 2 guy though. There doesn't seem to be a 'best' archetype really, it comes down to what synergy you can really lock down. I've seen U/W fliers/awaken do crazy well, R/G landfall, Sultai Eldrazi/ramp, R/U Devoid, B/W lifegain/allies...etc Just gotta make sure your deck is generally as synergistic as you can get it and your chances of doing well will be better. | ||

Some (e.g., M15, theros) are over 40 dollars while others (e.g., born of the gods) are under 30... My guess is the amount of expensive cards in the set. | ||

Duels is a decent way to learn the rules, is just OK if you know most of the rules already, but don't really play competitively (where competitively is anything past kitchen table). If you're an FNM regular, it's probably a bit simplified to be really enjoyable. | ||

If you mean by the real game, then yes, but as any of us regulars can attest, this can be a very expensive hobby especially if you don't have any friends to lend cards from. | ||
