The Game Gamut - Draft

Is playing Magic becoming monotonous, lackluster?  Is your interest in what started as a game for fun waning?  Has drafting in big tournaments become draining or seem more like a chore than a hobby for fun?  Well come visit the Game Gamut on 2nd of February at Noon to put the creativity, enjoyment and FUN back in Magic.  Certain to not revolutionize Magic, a History Draft will bring you back to your roots when you first began playing, when Magic was new, exciting, creative, and above all you were happy to just be playing.  A History draft is something different where combo's/strategy can never be predicted.  It brings that 'unknown' element back.

So if you're looking for something different, a new variant of magic drafting, then try a History Draft.  Picture Vintage/Legacy but in draft format.  The possibility of combination of cards are endless.  The format has a much larger random element than regular drafting.  From feedback given by players ranging from near-pro to novice this format is much more fun than a typical draft.  While drafting a certain bloc can get boiled down into a science.  A History draft breaks science apart.  "Combinations are endless, there's over 20 years of possibilities."  That's over 20 bloc's, over 100 possible sets, about 14,000 unique cards, and 138 keywords.  Best of all "it's just so much fun!"

Were you late in the game and missed out on Banding, Morph, Affinity, Flanking, Urza block, threshold, even buyback cards?  Now they are all present in a single format.  How do they interact?  What new synergies can you find to exploit?

The Game Gamut, a local store in Victor NY, is hosting a History Draft on Sunday the 2nd.  The draft (located on the event calendar) is during Pre-release Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday but earlier in the day than the Super Bowl.  The draft is from 12 sharp until 3:30ish and only costs $6 (cash only), less than half what a regular draft costs.
