Our oldest son owns a store, The Game Den, located in the Provo Towne Centre Mall. Every Friday night there is a Magic the Gathering tournament, better known as
Friday Night Magic. Pa went and played last night -- it's a lot of fun!
We also love playing Ticket To Ride.
Pa loves a booster draft.
Our son the manager on the phone. Everybody starts equal, chooses the cards they want, plays random opponents, and has an opportunity to win a prize. Even Pa won the top prize once!
These were Pa's cards.
Three booster packs are drafted. On the second pack Pa's rare was the Worldheart Phoenix, which he kept. The person to his left passed him a foil Worldheart Phoenix! Those Phoenixes and the white Knights were key. This was the first time Pa ever played rainbow (all five colors) in a booster draft. The two Mana Cylix and Jungle Shrine were helpful, but the two Skyward Eye Prophets, two Gleam of Resistance, and Traumatic Visions really brought in the lands. Pa was week on his creature removal, but had two Controlled Instincts and an Ignite Disorder in his sideboard. All those flyers kept the game going and the Fusion Elemental and Manaforce Mace were icing. Pa did get decked by an Extractor Demon one game while his opponent's two Pestilent Kathari held-off his flyers! Pa said the last time he was decked was probably 15 years ago by our son Joe! Otherwise he won all his other games he played until the last match when he was defeated by an opponent that went undefeated all night. A fun time was had!
