Saturday, was the Journey into Nyx prerelease. I didn't get any of the exciting cards I was hoping for, but apparently I got a decent pool of cards. I came in 1st and/or 2nd! I went to a new store this time since it is in my city, and I didn't have to drive clear across Memphis. There were only about 14 or 16 people in the tournament, but I ( Read more... )

Saturday, was the Born of the Gods prerelease. I didn't get such a great card pool this time, but I did manage to do sort of well. I came in 17th place which gave me one booster pack as a prize. I had fun, as I expected. This block is based on Greek mythology so I'm enjoying it so far. One more set to go in the block. I didn't pull any of the ( Read more... )

Saturday, I went to the Theros prerelease tournament. I didn't do so well this time. I won my first match and thought it was going to be a good day, but then in most of my other games I either got too much land or none. It's tough to win like that. But, anyway, I had fun. I like the set, especially since it has a Greek mythology flavor to it ( Read more... )

Sunday, I went to the Dragon's Maze prerelease tournament. I had a good time, and this time I won 3, lost 1, and tied 1. It was good enough to get me in the top 8. (I'm not sure if I placed 7th or 8th.) So, I won some actual prizes this time, too. Four packs! I chose Izzet as my guild again and got Gruul as my secondary guild, which is what I ( Read more... )

Wow! I can't believe it's March already. It seems like February flew by quicker than it did last year.

Go eat a doughnut!

Saturday, I went to the Gatecrash prerelease tournament. It was fun, especially since I went 4-2 this time. One of my best records lately. I'm not sure what place I came in, but I was above the cut off of getting "actual" prizes instead of "pity packs". I got two packs, woohoo! This time I went with the Gruul guild. I managed to get the Gruul ( Read more... )

This Halloween had a decent turnout of trick-or-treaters. We ended up with 95 or so. Not a record setting number, but pretty good. I scared a few kids with my costume. Eventually I had to take the head off because one girl would not come to the door at all, and besides I was getting too hot wearing it ( Read more... )

Saturday, I went to the Return to Ravnica prerelease tournament. I had a fun time. They ran the tournament a little differently this time. There are five guilds in this set, and so everyone got to pick a guild. For those of you who know what I'm talking about, I went with the Izzet guild. I did alright, but not great. I went 2-3-1. Hey, I ( Read more... )

Happy Star Wars Day!
