Hey guys I am hosting my first tourney and we are playing type 1 2-player. We also want to play booster draft to see if we want to include that in the next tourney. My question what kind of combo of packs should we use(no tins please)? and how much to charge? and how many do we need per person? Please let me know Asap! as i might need to order more stuff.

Blue, Prophets, Aposles, Pats, Kings, Angel Wars is the old school way of playing booster you could of course mix it up but its not recomened to use Priests if you dont have the tins.

TxP is great for any kind of booster. If you have TxP, I would strongly suggest using those (in addition to all the others most likely).

Have you referred to the Tournament Host Guide?  You need six packs from any available expansion.  It is up to the host.  So depending on your available resources you can pick any six packs you have or can obtain.

I always liked the tins when I hosted.  If I were to ever host again* I would definitely include TexP and Disciples (for 2010-2011).   








(* Not in this lifetime, baby!    )

You would charge whatever you decided upon.  Sometimes I would charge enough to cover my expenses and sometimes I would bless my playgroup by charging less.  For a mean, it was anywhere in between $8-$20.

ok so TEXP, Priest, Kings, Angel Wars, and Apostles or Patriarchs

Apostles and Patriarchs, and then it would be legal.

waht would be the price though for the draft

If you used the above, it would cost you $20 per person to hold this event, so I wouldn't go any higher than that for the price. If you use Unlimited and Prophets instead Priests and Angel Wars, you can save a few bucks, so that's what I would probably do. Also, you might be able to charge only a very small fee (or none) for booster, but take the valuable cards away from the players when they are done. That way you get all the booster funness at little expense to anyone.

so your saying if i do it the other way and dont charge i keep all the rare and ultra or waht i want and they keep the rest? that doesnt sound fair

It isn't fair to let people play a category that they usually pay for and still give them a bunch of (admittedly less high-end) cards, all for free? I don't understand your logic...

well im not saying its not fair i mean is no one will do that where they dont pay just to keep commons and uncommons.

I would. I play booster for the fun and fellowship it offers, not for the cards I get. It's also very interesting to see what kind of decks people get when they have such a limited supply of cards to choose from.

The fact that you are giving prizes is a blessing to your group already.   

As for what to combine for the third place prize, I'm guessing it should be in the $1-$2 range since a NJ is about $5 and a pack is about $3.  Maybe a rare card from your extras?

really 10 views and no reply?

hello

no but you are going off topic and adding post to your name buy not posting on topic and I dont think i will be able to do booster draft this tourney but maybe the next one how long does it takt to get packs back from sending in UPCS. if i sent them tomorrow will i get  them before sat? im sendning around 200+
