I actually have an online account I'd happily sell for BTC, here's a dump:

Actually, why don't I just add that to the Marketplace?

What about doing a draft tournement from a particular set?   Those are fun and everybody is equal because the packs get passed around

Since LetsTalkBitcoin! is covering the event, I doubt I'd have time to play - but I do enjoy a good draft.

Good idea.  See above:

I was thinking just booster draft the Return to Ravnica block, which recently had its 3rd set, Dragon's Maze, released:  http://www.wizards.com/Magic/TCG/Products.aspx

The last time I played magic was PAX 2007, has the trend of "shit gets more powerful so you better buy the new edition" continued? 

not really, It's sort of marginal. The incentive to buy new product is the fact that the most popular format besides draft is standard, which only uses sets from the past 1-2 years.

No need to bring your own cards.  Vague understanding of the rules would be helpful.

I have a feeling we'll be pretty busy at the conference but I would still be down to play. I'd pre-pay in BTC if you pick up the necessary packs. Part of the reason I want to play is to celebrate MTG's special relationship with BTC.  Grin

Why not. I would be down to play, though all my cards are super old.

I would probably need a deck and to train up on what is new.

I sure hope you will be selling your boosters for BTC, not $ Tongue


Actually, I was planning on just making them free for whoever wanted to play!

Well that would pretty much cement the Bitcoin = Nerds label if word gets out that we had a Magic: the Gathering tournament going on at our conference.

I can trade you some, but there will be loads of lag and eventually you will end up with only half of your cards.
