I play a lot of Magic the Gathering. I collect the cards, play the game, covet pieces of artwork, and have tattoos of it. Needless to say, I’m unhealthily obsessed with the game, and it’s been a part of my life for almost two decades now. I’m fortunate to have a group of friends who I play with regularly. One day, two summers ago, my friend and I decided to run a crazy idea: a special kind of format where a group of eight of us would draft cards from the entire available pool. We were inspired by Sheldon’s Rotisserie Draft League, but knew that getting people together to do the whole thing in person wasn’t going to happen.
