(+) Yeah! (+)

Yes, they would start with one pack each.

Well best time for me would probably be anytime not-morning.

I don't think setting up a time is going to work, though.

Yeah I guess our host can just pm each person a random pack of cards then maybe the order to pass on te pack to

Nah, I'll have people open their own packs. If I send the packs, I won't be able to participate. I'll just send people the order of passing.

Hmm, that would work well enough.

This site, at least, lets you open any packs you want via simulating a draft. I bet there are others too, but this one is what I've been using.

So what you do is randomize the player list (or not, whatever), and send each person the name of the next person in line, plus the names of all the cards you get by opening the specified pack. So you could use that site to open a Ravnica pack, and send me 'Pass to Regaro' plus every card in that pack.

As for what the cards do, that's up to the person to look up.

It would probably work like that.

This seems like not such a good idea. I'd rather not draft if this is the way we're going to have to go about it!

i'm dumb as hell holy crap -ExThaNemesis

Did you have an alternative suggestion? Believe me, I'm all ears.

"As the size of an explosion increases, the number of social situations it is incapable of solving approaches zero." -Vaarsuvius, Order of the Stick

Well if there's isn't a better idea, let's stick with what we got.

That sounds like so much work that would never get done

Maybe it's doomed anyway.

having everyone confirm they're going to do this would be nice

Don't worry guys, I have all the clubs

what if we just use that site to simulate our drafts and then face each other with our drafted decks. We'd be on the honor system, that you only get to draft once, but otherwise it would work rather well.

You lose the "drafting with people" aspect, but we would actually be able to pull it off.

If we do that, we might as well just have a sealed deck tournament instead.

That site even has a way to export your deck in MWS format. It's perfect!

I dont REALLY know the difference but isnt your whole deck assigned for you in sealed deck?

This seems at least a little more interesting

That's cool.

Playing in a tournament with preset decks can be fun.

sealed you get a preset deck and a couple booster packs

--

Sealed Constructed instead? Keeps the "building your deck" aspect, loses the "waiting on others".

Sealed constructed?

If you're thinking of "you get six (or whatever) boosters, make a deck out of those", that is sealed deck >_>

And that might work better.

Sounds good.

How do we prove it though?

No, there is no preset deck. Sealed deck just means you get 6 boosters and you build a deck with them.

I'd only heard it referred to as Sealed Constructed. Though Sealed might be different based on what Yoshi said.

And I guess it would just be honour system. Unless you want people to post an image of all 6 boosters they crack. I dunno.

I dunno the difference, but I just meant the 'get six boosters' version. I didn't realize there was another one.

well presumably Scept would send us the cards.

or something.

You guys could just do it yourself.

There isn't. "Sealed" in MtG refers to the 6 booster thing. "Sealed constructed" is not a thing. You technically "construct" a deck, but you do that in every format. The word constructed generally refers to coming into the tournament with a deck you have already...constructed.

I dunno. That was the definition that I found whenlooking it up a couple weeks ago.

Your version sounds like it'd be easier to do, since people don't have to depend on others for creating their deck, while still keeping it away from constructed

Alright let's do it.

if its just a preconsutructed deck and/or boosters

I'll probably just have it randomly generate cards for me on MWS
