When thinking about the YGO tournament we shall run (hopefully soon) George brought up the idea of gathering a bundle of old/original cards and running an almost-draft format...
I think this would be great as it avoids all the broken cards/combos rife out there these days, whilst also encouraging some of the older players who have given up/newer players to join in too! ^_^
Firstly, do the other forum peeps think this would be a good idea?
Secondly, who/where do we get cards from? I know Jamie said he had a load, but what if its not enough?

You take a regular card pool. (Ie. Boosters). You draft, and try to make a strong deck.
It promotes the skill of deckbuilding and playing said deck, over the skill of owning the strongest deck. Something which seems highlighted by your last MTG tournament, and the guys who showed up out of the blue to take all the prizes.
It is not a bad idea to draft from a preopened pool of cards.
As for the guys who turned up to win your tournament. Beyond giving you a simple "I told you it would happen", I don't much care. I simply know what was posted on here, which was that the guys turned up purely for the tournament.
