The allure of a high reward for a scant $25 dollar buy in is always a great draw for Magic players, so it should be no surprise that there's usually a huge amount of turn out for these.

It doesn't hurt that the winner gets a first crack at Zendikar online. That's right folks, Zendikar goes in to extra-early-pre-release today! Best of luck to the MTGO players who make it in to the first event. If you signed up for the first one and didn't make it in, there will be another one this afternoon, and two more tomorrow!

May you all crack a Lotus Cobra... or two!

I'll update the details, as they happen!

Some of these players are by jamuraa at Fri, 10/16/2009 - 12:17

Some of these players are probably playing on a much bigger screen than they normally do! Those computer setups look sweet - must be 24" monitors? Wondering why half of the table is blocked from the other half, but not the two players on either side. How are they keeping these players from taking a little look?

Players sitting next to each by hamtastic at Fri, 10/16/2009 - 12:57

Players sitting next to each other are in separate drafts. So two people next to each other aren't in the same draft, but they are each in a pool with the people behind the dividers. Pretty neat setup, and lots of people were watching the draft. Quite a draw!
