I have done some draft with friends (but with no prize, just pay for the packs).
We are usually 6 people as well.
you have 3 packs each, assigned randomly. (So if you don't have prize you can have 2 full drafts).

Each person open the first pack, picks a card and pass to the person on the left. Grab the cards coming from your right, pick a card, pass to your left. Repeat after you are done with your first pack.
Second pack, do it on the other direction (pass right). Third pack pass left.

When you are done, build a deck with the 45 cards you are left with. (I usually trim it down to 23 cards, and then add 17 lands).

Hope this helps

It would be nice to see how much money are all the cards in the inventory worth.

Ok, I will look at that. Do you know what program is he using to test it? Is it free? Does it have a "match simulator"?

Thanks for the suggestions.
At this point I'm worries that Hellrider and mostly Firemane Avenger will show up late in the game and I will be tapped out after casting them. But I'm thinking that Firemane Avenger can be good. I don't have many other flying or air-blocker in the deck (besides instants).

I think also other cards remove the "Standard". I will test it later which other card/cards

In Deckbox Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded shows up with price to be $0.00
http://deckbox.org/mtg/Tibalt,%20the%20Fiend-Blooded

But in the TCG Player website it shows up with "correct" values.

The issue might be with TCG API.

Hello,
Thanks for the suggestions. I will keep them in mind

I put in the doomed travelers to have 1 drops that can get get flying and can block some damage at least once.

How do I use exactly Skullcrack? (What situation?)

Any card I should drop from the Sideboard to make space for warleaders / skull crack / rest in peace / volcanic strength

Hello, Searing Spear should be Standard legal.
But when I add it to my deck, the deck doesn't show up as "Standard" anymore. (Not even modern/legacy/...).

I know it's not perfect but I don't have more resources to improve it. I will see if I can get some trades at FNM to add some Boros Reckoner and maybe some Sacred Foundry and Clifftop Retreat instead of Boros Guildgate.

Do you have any suggestions about moving cards from/to the side board? Or also other general suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Note: I noticed that searing spear makes the deck not show up as Standard

It would be nice to have a feature to easily move cards from the sideboard to the main deck and from the main deck to the sideboard.
Thanks

Thanks elpablo.
I see your point.

With my current deck, and the cards I am planning to get (3x Legion's Initiative 4x Boros Charm 4x Legion Loyalist 4x Searing Spear 2/3x Hellrider and some Warleader's Helix) what should be my next step towards building the deck?
What cards should I sideboard, discard, put in the deck?
Here are the other cards I have for this deck at the moment: http://deckbox.org/sets/376189?s=j&o=d&f=794.1

Sorry for the many question, I'm still new to the game.

Honestly, I would trade the Voice of Resurgence.  It's worth a whole lot right now, that might not last.

But it's a really strong card I would like to integrate it to my deck.
Do you have any suggestions about the other cards I would like to add? What should I remove?

Hello,

I have got Voice of Resurgence in a booster pack I opened this weekend. I was thinking to splash some green just for one card. What are your thoughts?

Also I have few trades lined up and I will be getting few other Legion's Initiative and also I will probably get Boros Charm, Legion Loyalist, Searing Spear.
I am also planning to get few Hellrider, Warleader's Helix.
Also I am thinking to add some more dual lands.

What should I add / remove / sideboard in your opinion?
Also, should I add a Planeswalker? if so, which?
This is the link to the current deck http://deckbox.org/sets/380266

Thanks

Hello Blaze!
I recent to magic. I played once Booster Draft at San Diego Games and Comics, but I agree with you, they are really competitive (and also it is elimination, which sucks for a noob like me).
I played few times at At Ease Games in Poway. (Because it's the only shop that does booster drafts at FMN at a decent time 7PM). The players there are less competitive, and for what I have seen they look more friendly and helpful. (Even though Billy at SD Games and Comics was really helpful). At Ease Games is also planning to start a Modern league (from what I heard)
I am down to play casual games (I'm building up my first standard deck) and receive advices on how to improve!

Cheers!

I hope some judge can answer to me.

I have some Japanese cards and I would like to use them. Can I keep piece of paper inside the sleeve with the English text of the card? Or is it considering as "marking" the card because it's a bit thicker?

Thanks,

Thank you all for suggestions and comments.

The deck is still a work in progress. I just build it last night (with a friend) with the few cards I have. Most of the cards come from pre-release and couple of booster drafts.

My "goal" is to go to Game Day and win at least 1 game, probably the game for last and second to last place smile. I am not planning to play standard at FNM, just drafts. I have 2 drafts in front of me before game day. Hopefully I can get some decent cards by then.

This is what I came up with my cards and few from a friend. It's missing few killspells.

Any opinions? Suggestion?

Why isn't it showing up as "standard deck"?

I am trying to collect foil basic lands in all the available languages (from American websites). But after few hours of research I couldn't find any that would sell them.

It's for collection purposes. One of each land for every printed language (I don't care about the edition).

Any suggestion is appreciated,
Thanks

Alternately, if there are cards you have questions about, feel free to ask here.  I'm sure there are members of the DB community who are judges or who have used the cards in question enough to know.

As I've always liked to say, the only stupid question is the one that is never asked.

Thanks to you as well. I am trying to see what cards to put in my first standard deck, that would be too many questions. But I'll ask if I cannot find a satisfying answer in Gather.

Hello,

Are there any online resources where I could see use cases of cards?

For example:
Suppose I have Notion Thief, and I would like to see exactly what the ability does, maybe with more wording than the actual card text.
Also, what are couple of common scenarios where to use it. And maybe good/bad practice on how to use it.

Sometimes I feel puzzled on some of the cards abilities (I'm almost new to the game).
