#77 - 2008 Aug 10 - Road Warrior Otwell #77 - CHRISTOPHER OTWELL @ GP:Denver - Day 3


…The Finale of the Saga, or so you might have thought… Day 3 of GP:Denver


Ok, I during this entire series of 7 GP:Denver Podcasts that I posted during the past 36 hours for my show, I left a lot of details to be determined by the website reader on what transpired…


In most of these PodCasts, there were a variety of Magic Professional Players being interviewed between 1 and 15 minutes each, as I walked around the site doing “walk-up with Microphone coverage” efforts, as well as round-by-round coverage of what I did in the Grand Prix itself. These podcasts included people such as Patrick Chapin, Lee Steht, Antonio De Rosa, Sam Black, Conely Woods, and a number of other local players and Magic Professional Players.

Overall, an excellent series of PodCasts for the Masses.


James Cagle and I did another 4-6 hours of recorded Material for The Magic School Bus show as well, including a nearly 2 hour solid section where Patrick Chapin was “Guest-Hosting” the show. That should be up sometime within the week, as James is doing the editing of that material. That portion is absolutely “SOLID GOLD” material, in every facet of the term. The total material may be broken up into several chunks of PodCasts in the near term.

    Sealed Deck
    • 2+ players
    • Each player needs 1 Tournament pack and 3 booster packs
    • Players simply open their tournament packs and the cards from three additional booster packs and build a deck from the cards they opened. Guidelines require a minimum deck size of 40 cards and allow players to add as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their card pools as they like.

    Booster Draft
    • 4-8 players
    • Each player needs 3 booster packs
    • At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again.
      Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.
    Tribal Wars
    • One-third of every deck must be of a single creature type (e.g. "Merfolk" or "Beast")
    • Each deck must contain at least 60 cards, and players may build decks using Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
    • You can use creatures of other creature types, but they do not count towards the "1/3 of single creature type" rule.

    Singleton
    • aka "Highlander"
    • No two cards in a player's deck can share a name unless they're basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests). Players can use Standard, Extended, Legacy, or Vintage deckbuilding rules.
