In my previous post where I shared ideas that possibly might reinvigorate Dice Masters. More than one of the suggestions were heavily influenced by my experience of MtG.

One I missed is doing a Dice Masters equivalent of a chaos draft. This is where booster packs from various MtG sets are used for the draft instead of from just a single set.

I don’t see why this isn’t something that players couldn’t do themselves at events or with mates. But it’s also something Wizkids could run at conventions.

It’s that convention side I’d like to see the variety, using them or piggy backing on the convention to run a Dice Masters version of a MagicFest or whatever they are called these days. Not just the competitive play for a title (world, regional, etc) but side events like draft (which they did at GenCon), chaos draft, a Golden Age event, a pauper event for both Modern and Golden Age. You get the idea.

Yesterday I was chatting with my friend Freddy who lives in the US. Told him I’m back in the game. It turns out he still has most of his stuff from back when we were playing too. He’d sold off his cards that were worth money. So I’m guessing that’s cards like Gobby and Black Widow.

We agreed we should play a game or two again. Which would be using webcams at the moment. However there was some exciting news that would mean we would finally meet in real life and play a game or two in person.

Freddy is coming to the UK in December. How cool is that?

Taking into account the status of his collection our games I think would obviously be Golden Age, and what I’d call pauper. Plus when he is over here we could do a draft.

So excited.

I did start organising the cards that I have. At the moment alphabetically. Next it’s to organise by rarity. Which will make building more easy. So I know for pauper I can go to a particular box to get all my commons.

Thinking aloud is it possible to do a Dice Masters version of a cube for drafting? I need to think how this would work. Just spitballing ideas that breath new life into collections and allow players to play with friends or family.
