In the next week or so, the Wargate will be hosting another booster draft! This is going to be a little different, however...we're going to be using Coldsnap!
We've had a lot of fun since January, and hosted three drafts already this year. However, instead of one of the current releases, this time we're going way back to do a set that we wouldn't normally get the chance to draft. The set hasn't been current for some time, not even in Extended (though Dark Depths + Vampire Hexmage was quite popular for a second). Coldsnap was the summer release for 2006, where we've been getting the Core sets at that time for the last two years.
It was a different playing environment then, and the environment changes faster than ever these days. A lot has changed since Coldsnap was in Standard.

This heralds a new direction for the Wargate. We're going to be doing what I'm going to start calling Backdrafts - draft tournaments for older sets! We'll be getting sealed boxes for each of these sets (that we can find) to use in the tournaments, and plan to build a nice collection of promo slips signed by each of the participants in each tournament.
Your name will go on the wall here at the Wargate, amongst all the memorials to the battles we have already waged, and those yet to come.
So do your homework and familiarize yourself a bit with Coldsnap. If nothing else, here's the wiki link to the Coldsnap expansion.
Brace yourselves, it seems to have grown a lot cooler - all of a sudden...
