dragoncon: a gaming story

[dilemma]

Then when you're more mature, you start telling the truth. "I've broken a glass. Is it expensive?" "I'll pay for that. I'm sorry." You do that so people might go, "What a strong personality! I like to have sex with people with strong personalities."

I walk around Dragoncon on Saturday with thebill, determined to draft at

Draft is my favorite way to play (in most CCGs), and I'd do it again for Magic if I could justify the cost.

Onslaught block, though? That makes me feel like old hat.

[dilemma]

Drafting is cheaper than a movie ticket and lasts as long. S'how I justify it, anyway.

oh THAT'S why I didn't run into you. I don't think I went within a hundred yards of the gaming hotel.

[dilemma]

Seriously? I thought I saw you at one of the big parties up by the Pulse bar on Sunday or Saturday, but I thought "hey, there's no way that's really him..."

For what it's worth, my first rare was a Flying Carpet. However, the true prize of that pack was the Craw Wurm I got. It was a freaking 6/4!

I later remembered that it was a Winter Orb, but hey, "Taiga" was a better answer for what I was getting at.

And Craw Wurm is so badass. I got a SCALED Wurm when I started playing. That thing was 7/6! And only took ONE green mana! hee!

I think my first rare might've been a Demonic Hordes.

Then Dave cheated me out of it, the bastard.

[dilemma]

That's totally Dave. *I* on the other hand cheat people for white cards.

Lol, trangst. I like that one!
One of my first rares was a Nightmare. Good times.
P.S. My own trangst (can I call it that? *shrug*), I just remembered, stems from Ted. That puts it in a LOT of perspective, let me tell ya.
P.P.S. I sent you my completed draft of Canon Fodder. I hope ya like it! ^_^
