Good format

Good format.

 
I played a couple of drafts of the new Magic The Gathering release Conspiracy.
 
The things I like most about Magic and gaming are deck building, drafting, multiplayer, and new cards.  Conspiracy is all of those things.
 
Playing at a couple different stores with regular players and with everyone in the same boat was pretty fun.  There were a lot of stop and read the card moments that got everyone in each group talking.  Instead of people rushing through games with decks they have memorized everyone was taking the time to really look at the cards.  Each of the groups I played in (and then a friend bought a box so we did 3 small drafts on our own) had good energy.
 
This is why I play the game.
