Little drafting, and aquistions

After last week's slump, I decided to draft this week. Tried out a new local shop that is exactly 1 month old. Hello Gamer-Corps. It was a Tuesday night, and they were drafting. Plus, its in excellent Old Ellicott City. Lovely night, great atmosphere.
Only complaint about the location- the seating is a bit tight for 3 people a side. Just throwing it out there. We could fit three playmats with NO other room on one side. We had a 6 person pod fire off. Only two other gamers in the store doing miniatures.

Pack one, open up the rare is Karn. Cool! Wanted that for my legacy stuff... HOWEVER, there was a foil rare in there:

Yup- a FOIL Ugin. Wtf. I wanted both of the rares. I know Ugin is 10x better in limited over Karn, and it was actually a better value, but ugh. Still. Not too shabby to start with.

I wound up going blue/black amass. Not where I was hoping, but I had plenty of creature negation. Something like 6 pieces. Felt good.

Not going to go over each round, but I went 1-2 and didn't win anything. Though if I had, no way would it have been any better than that first pack anyhow.  Not too shabby for $15 on a Tuesday night draft.

Best part of all this, the store is about 10-12 minutes from my house. As long as I can find parking in the free lot near the store, or on the road, this should be a good start to a new store to draft with. No clue if they are going to support Legacy as it is very pricey, but time will tell. I will keep asking.

Funny story from registering for the first time at the store. They asked for my DCI, I gave them my 6 digit number. The guy said, "We need you to register to get a 10 digit version."
My response was- Just put the 6 digit in and see what happens.

Low and behold- it worked. Guess the guy hasn't had to deal with old DCI numbers yet. Welcome to the thunder-dome dude.

New cards acquired!

Check these babies out! I was looking for just two, and wound up with three. One English, one Spanish, and one Portuguese. I didn't even know they printed City of Traitors in Portuguese until I looked it up via this sale. One is in LP, the other two are in MP condition. (though I've had some sketchy evaluation and definitions of conditions over the years)
Got them at a very good price via "Sick Deals" on the Facebook group. Guy was moving completely in to Old School and selling all his Legacy and Modern stuff. Final price in Dollars after everything, about $360. Which about $20 more than I was going to pay for 2 LP- English copies.

Super happy with the pick-up!

Lastly, why does D&T run a single copy of Ancient Tomb and not a City of Traitors. Asking for a friend.  :)

Not sure if I’m going to attend the Modern Horizons pre-release. Something about a draft for a pre-release has me skeptical. I might go to one Sunday. *shrug*

There is an outside chance I’m going to MagicFest in Dulles on Father’s Day weekend. If I do go, it will be for side events only. A big maybe.

And for those of you with too much money.
