Still haven't done one...😪

Hoo boy, my first FNM was a doozy. It was a draft (as always. Love drafts). M12 had just come out. My first pack? 2 planeswalkers. Chandra and foil Garruk. I laugh, Inform the person on my left that even though it's my first draft, I'm not a total idiot for passing him a planeswalker. I show him foil Garruk, and congratulate him on his free Chandra.

And to top it all off, no one in the pod was drafting green. I ended up with a solid mono green deck, taking 3rd place out of 28 people.

I highly recommend fnm drafting to anyone on the fence about going. You meet some great people, and have good times. I look forward to it every week.

Does FNM have an entry cost?

It depends on the place running it and the type of game. For example the store I go to runs 2 FNMs each Friday - a standard with a free entry, and a draft with a $12 entry (the cost of the 3 packs, plus a couple bucks for prize pool basically)

I think it depends on what they do for FNM

I've seen free ones where you bring your own deck and only win a few boosters. I've seen where you bring your own deck and pay $6 and it's a good amount of boosters to win.

I've seen drafts (3packs) for anywhere from $12-16 and sealed events (6packs) for $25. These both had decent rewards.

Got first place with wolf ramp, and then pulled a Garruk, relentless in one of my packs. It was pretty cool.
