Weekend Previews: Upcoming Drafting Trilogy and Standard Pauper Deck Challenges

Welcome back to Cabel the Pauper!  Everybody please silence your cell phones and take note that there there is No Exit!  Today's brief update is a teaser of what's to come and has been approved for all audiences by the International Committee of the Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth-and-a-Third Internationale (Depending on Who's Counting).

The following pieces are currently being composed and will hopefully challenge everything you know about blogging, drafting, and Standard Pauper, coming soon to an Internet connection near you.  In other words, here's what I'm working on for next week on my little blog:

"To Draft Or Not To Draft" will be an epic trilogy about ONE MAN and his heroic journey into the evolving wilds of limited play with limited resources.

BASS-BOOM-BOOM-BASS....

Will our hero find that the pen is mightier by the sword?

BOOM-BASS-BOOM-BASS-BOOM...

Or will his life by the sword result in his death by the sword?

BOOM-BASS-SUB-WOOF-BOOM-Boom-boom-bomb-bass-bass-fade-fade....

[insert cheesy advertising tagline and social media icons here]

In addition to this series, I shall chronicle a Standard Pauper deck challenge taking place tonight.  I will bring one of the top decks in the online Standard Pauper metagame to a Friday Night (Money) Magic event at my local game store.  There's already plenty of Web-based promotion for this endeavor posted on this thread at PDCMagic.com for more information.

Finally, I'll be making a very important announcement regarding competitive Standard Pauper play In Real Life by the end of next week.  If you're in my geographic area and are hard up for tickets and entry fees and as frustrated as I am with MTGOv4's lack of functionality, but still desire to play the best Magic: The Gathering ever devised, you definitely want remain seated and stay tuned...

That's all for previews this Friday.  I hope you enjoy your weekend, are able to sneak in your own refreshments without having to make any concessions in your casual or competitive gaming outings the next few days.  Thanks for reading and good luck & have fun!  Peace,

- C
