A Successful Start

After a 32-person draft and a 16-person sealed (both M12), the Magic Committee's efforts in putting these events together have definitely resulted in success. Though I myself had to miss the draft due to work, I participated in the sealed, and it was a lot of fun (except for the part where John stomped me with all his Chandra shenanigans, but that's another story). We've got some great new faces at our events, and many of the old ones have made their appearances as well. So, first thing's first, thank you everybody for coming out!!

Now, here are the results of the draft. We had two pools of drafters, a beginner's pool and an experienced pool. The top 4 of the beginners were:

1 - Sean Davenport
2 - Chris McKibben
3 - Jay Fry
4 - Chris Tsien

And the top 4 of the experienced pool were:

1 - Bryant Benson
2 - Joe Hammond
3 - Scott Record
4 - Mike Mooty

Finally, the top four of the sealed were:

1 - Phil Griffin
2 - John Kreinberg
3 - Scott Record
4 - Michael Carney

Great job, everybody!

Now, onto news. The next event is a standard constructed tournament this Sunday, September 11th (see sidebar for details). If you don't have a deck but would like to play, contact the committee members, and they will most likely be able to help you put something together, if not lend you a deck. Emails (and some phone numbers) are located in the next sidebar down. The committee will be there early for those registering for the event, and anyone who wants to just do some deck testing. The other cool thing going on this weekend is a Magic Celebration on Saturday at Dogs of War Gaming (on Palm Bay Rd.), which basically involves getting free packs of M12 and playing pack wars. Details can be found at the Dogs of War website: http://www.dogsofwargaming.com/

The week after next, we'll be doing an EDH/Commander tournament, and we're trying to figure out a way to make it multiplayer because that is way more fun. I call dibs on Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund as a general, by the way. ^_^ Actually, though, if we have anyone with the same general as another player, we'll finagle it so that those two people don't play each other. Still, be individual about it! Again, if anyone is in need of a deck, ask the committee--I myself have an extra EDH deck, the Kaalia of the Vast deck released by Wizards. EDH is by far my favorite format, because you can play all of those random awesome cards in your collection that you could never reasonably fit into a deck before. Details on this event will be posted as soon as I get them.

In addition, I have here two links to Magic tutorials created by The Magnanimous Dom (awesome nickname courtesy of Skye). One is for constructed Magic, and one is for drafting. Anyone looking for awesome advice should check them out, because Dom is definitely one of the best players I know.


Sorry for the long post--I was a slacker by accident last week, so think of this one as two posts in one. I'll now close with the current league points for each person:
