This thread is for discussion of this week's The Week That Was, which goes live Friday morning on magicthegathering.com.

It seems like coverage of one of those drafts would sure be interesting, no?

Author: I'm thinking Flores on this one.

Flores. The lengthy descriptions about Plataforma is evidence enough.

That is a pretty big arrow. Actually I'd expect Flores to have gone on at least 2 more paragraphs about Plataforma. He must have intentionally held himself back.

Hmmm...

A more tedious, insider-y, name drop-y article than BDM's usual garbage?

Must be a Flores article!


Sometimes I can convince myself the reason I'm not a pro is because I can't stand to wade through their "articles". Unfortunately doing so appears to be a pre- or post-requisite for winning a big tournament.

agreed definetely a flores article... man i would love to draft/watch that group when a format isnt new...

It's funny that everyone's saying Flores 'cause I almost always read Flores...

And I totally enjoyed the article:-)

As a Flores fan, I have to agree that, yes, there was a lot of name-dropping and he DOES tend to drop names.

If this is not Flores, it's one good personification.

Now the real question is how do other New Yorkers get in on the action? {e}

That was interesting...a pro tour insider view of side drafting and then wow! some strategy that, just, kind of, trails off without really saying much.

Personification is when you give human qualities to non-human things

Hmm on the other hand i figured out how to quote

With regards to the writer, I think it was Paul Barclay

Yeah agreed, If this was something moderatly easy to get into like other team drafting groups, I would fly from Texas to NY just to draft with them and learn.
