He was estimating 40 + 4 foils would be worth at least $600, so it sounds like he hasn't had the last laugh yet.

There arn't good BIN's on ebay yet for the singles and unfortunetly few people posting here at this time.

precisely. If you really want, you could sort it all out by color, randomize those, and build packs with like, 2 of each, 1 land, 1 multi, 1 artifact, 2 more random cards. but we never bother.

Only time this ever came up as a problem was when i sorted the cube and forgot before hand.

We evenly-ish split the cube among the players, shuffle what we have, then pass ~half, and shuffle more. Do this a bunch with quite a few passes and it should split up chunks of decks and colors. We just randomly grab 3x15 cards some time during that process. Usually best to take a few cards, shuffle, pass, take a few more. I've also played with some who didn't allow you to keep the packs you made and instead randomly swap 1:1 w/ other people.

---

This is pretty much what we do, including the random passing of packs around the table after they are made. It's actually pretty entertaining to watch the massive shuffle piles being passed around the table.

Greatest MOTL sponsored player ever.

I think I wetted myself in the finals. Damn that is some good archetype if you can draft it. P1P1 Enlarge, but it quickly turned to blue/red adding black later.

I ran into his Dragon Egg with my Water Servant T5, he hit me for 7 the next turn with the token, I stole his Dragon Token and attacked with a 5/3 Servant, 2/2 Blood Bairn and 5/2 stolen token the next turn, ending it by saccing it to the Bairn with an Outrage in hand. Sometimes this game can be brutal.
For the opponent.

2 Act of Treason
1 Chandra's Outrage
1 Doom Blade
1 Altar's Reap
1 Bubbling Cauldron
1 Thunder Strike
1 Divination

1 Festering Newt
1 Warden of Evos Isle
1 Trained Condor
2 Nephalia Seakite
1 Canyon Minotaur
2 Regathan Firecat
1 Water Servant
1 Blood Bairn
1 Goblin Shortcutter
1 Academy Raider
1 Undead Minotaur
1 Accursed Spirit
1 Marauding Maulhorn

That's it. The draft was a bit all over the place in general, but having CMC 4 as your highest and then relying on your tricks to push through worked for me.

As I was spread out over 3 colors this was the best creature base I had, save it for 1 Gnawing Zombie.

EDIT:
some SB cards:
2 Frost Breath
Lightning Talons (boarded it in once)
Duress
Gnawing Zombie
Thunder Strike
