There seems to at least be 16 peeps every week wanting draft, so that would be pretty cool for them. I dig the normal standard though. Glad Wizards keeps catering to more people.
Would be nice if some places offered a later Standard, I don't get out of work til 7pm and usually never make it in time w/o forfeiting my first round.
Sounds awesome, the city I'm moving to doesn't offer drafts (just FNM and 2 nights of multiplayer...and zero prize support besides foil) so I hope this will give them a kick in the butt to get that going.
Take your monoblack deck, then set aside 14 swamps. Add 4 Creeping Tar Pits, 4 Darkslick Shores, 4 Drowned Catacombs, and 2 Jwar isle Refuge and add 4 Jace, the Mindsculptors. Your monoblack deck is instantly better. Better yet, drop those refuges, throw in some islands and some mana leaks, and lo and behold, you're now playing a real deck. Congratulations. Welcome to the world of competitive M:TG.

very interesting. I'm curious to see how this works out, considering some FNMs run until pretty damn early (11PM/12AM kind of stuff).
You must not be top 8ing, all the ones I've been to lately go til at least 1am or later if you top 8. Even some I've been to and not top 8ed go that late.

some fnm's dont top8 like mine but since we usually have about 50ppl it runs till 11:30. And the prize is record based and very good.
Well, this is pretty awesome news, but my city doesn't have that kind of turnout. Its always the same 8 players playing the same thing every time. Though extra promos would be nice.

This comes after Wizards started sending them an extra FNM foil set for the last few months.
Talk is for one Standard and one Draft at my local B&M should be interesting to say the least.
Standard:
WRG Stampeding Allies
Sales Thread. Great Deals!
Trade Thread Great Stuff!
The Merchant's Guild, The sellers, traders and now buyers guild!
With 4 FNM cards for both events?
My art blog
Claims:
The kicker variant in WWK will be "Kicker without a kicked effect." - proven wrong Jan 2010 : 2 wrongs
Decks:

:symb::symr: Rakdos, the Defiler - EDH
:symu::symb::symw: Sharuum the Hegemon - EDH
:symw::symu::symb: Zur the Enchanter - EDH
So then they are doing it wrong, it's supposed to be Friday NIGHT Magic, Not Friday Afternoon Magic. Jeez. Slap that TO!

I'll clarify: I mean they start at around 7 PM and go on til roughly midnight. people like to sleep at some point.

Confirmatory - This news was made by the TO at the local gamery shoppe during FNM on Friday.
With approx. 30 or so players each FNM, I suspect that about 1/3 will draft with the remaining 2/3 playing standard constructed.
