It looks like there will be three rounds of Vintage draft during the 2014 World Championship in December:

http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/2014-world-championship-format-change-2014-10-24

The relevant text in the article:

"On Day One, players will compete in three rounds of real-life Vintage Masters Booster Draft followed by four rounds of Modern. Vintage Masters booster packs will be generated on Magic Online and physically re-constructed for this event."

I wonder if this means Vintage Masters will be available for draft online when that happens.

I think they would have to do it with existing stock, as per the reserved list.

They say the packs will be generated online and then reconstructed in real-life.  That does not sound like a new printing.  Also, they should just bite the bullet and print VMA.

Yikes, what is the buy-in going to be for Vintage Draft in real life?  What do you pay for the chance of opening an honest to God P9 in paper form out of a pack?

I saw on twitter that the cards are not for keeps, please correct me if I am somehow wrong.

The drafters don't get to keep the cards. A couple WotC employees and an L5 judge all commented on Reddit that the cards will likely be sourced from employees' collections.

Instead of tearing things down we should calmly explain our opinions.

Well that sounds about stupid. Is the prize going to be anything cool at least?

Just bragging rights and more money than any other Magic events.

I think it's a pretty cool idea, it might lead them to have Vintage Constructed eventually. This looks a lot like a new Magic Invitational.
