A Quick Events Update...


Just a quick reminder to those that may not know... This is our schedule for events at the Sub Shack!

Sundays @ 3 p.m. - Sanctioned Standard Format Tournament. Sub Shack food sales end @ 7 p.m. (So I can play some cards dang it!...hehehe).

Tuesdays @ 8 p.m. - Standard Format Tournament (Unless specified as a different tourney for that week) and Casual Play. Also don't forget to come a little early if you want Sub Shack food as the shop closes @ 8 p.m.

Thursdays @ 8 p.m. - Casual Play and lots of it! Again Sub Shack closes @ 8 p.m. So if you're hungry, come early!

Tuesday's and Thursday's are, of course, a general guideline. We always go however the community wants at the time. Everyone want's to draft? We can draft... You guys want to play Plane Chase? We can DEFINATELY play a little Plane Chase... You wanna do a little EDH? You get the point. Because that's just how we roll in the Player Slayers Community... Oh Yeah!




Also please take some time to fill out the poll at the bottom of the blog. We are always looking for feedback from fellow Slayers! If you injoy reading this blog feel free to follow it with the link provided also at the bottom of the blog posts.

The week of November 15th!

This week we held several big group games at our Tuesday and Thursday events. PLANECHASE IS AWESOME!!! Sorry, just felt I had to say that...hehehe Aaron also introduced several of us to a new format called "Elder Dragon Highlander" or EDH for short. We're thinking about putting together a few casual games in this format sometime soon in the future (As it is great fun to play, and is designed around having a good time.). Here is a link to the rules so that everyone can get on the same page and see if they'd like to join in the fun one casual day. Check it out here. So, put together a deck sometime if you like, and come challenge us!

This Sunday we also held a Zendikar draft tournament! We haven't done that in a while right? This week's top 2 were Steele with his hand crafted White/Splash a little Red Ally deck vs. Justin and his Green/Red/White Creature Removal deck. I must say this was one heck of a match. Even though Justin came thru with a 2 - 0 victory, Steele didn't make it easy for him. This round lasted almost an hour in total! In the end Justin's victory was sealed twice with his Arid Mesa/Rampaging Baloth/...Swing for How MUCH? Combo! Congrats Justin on winning a great Draft!



This will make for an interesting token...:-D

Also, a quick update for everyone. We are going to be having sanctioned tournaments EVERY Sunday from here on out! So, make sure to bring your DCI numbers!...hehehe In addition, in case you didn't notice, I'm going to be updating the blog on a weekly basis now instead of a daily one. Now that we are having 3 nights of fun a week, I think it would streamline the whole process this way. Hopefully I don't piss anyone off... (Ya right, no one reads the blog. Who am I kidding?...lol).

The November 8th Event!!!

This week we had a fun tourney with some interesting twists and turns. The top two actually turned out to be Al's Vampire deck vs. Caeser's Jund Deck! That's right, Caeser did not play a mill deck this time!...hehehe And it seemed to have paid off for him. Caeser won in a 2 - 0 victory over Al for first place! Nice try Al, but I guess vamps just don't belong in Jund...



All Hail Caeser!!!

Now that we are sanctioned, we are going to be running a lot more standard format tourney's in order to get everyone prepared for the big sanctioned tournaments. We'll still throw a few curve balls out there (as far as tournament formats are concerned), but we'll keep everyone posted via the blog several weeks before the events...:-) Our next tournament is Tuesday November 10th @ 8 p.m. Also, our next sanctioned tourney is Sunday November 22nd @ 3 p.m. Hope to see everyone there!!!

One quick reminder... If you haven't registered with DCI yet, let Chris know and he will hook you up. :-D

A few new things...


A few new things have happened recently in the Player Slayer community, and we are pleased to be able to bring this to everyone's attention. Two things. First, we are officially going to be having a Tuesday event at the Sub Shack. Our Thursday tournaments will be changed to Tuesday tournaments, and Thursday will be our "Casual Day" once again. Casual means whatever you want to play! We'll be having group games, team games, emperor games, casual games, and any other game anyone there would like to play every Thursday! The events will start at 8 p.m. every Tuesday and Thursday. Just remember, if you want something to eat from the Shack, come a bit early...;-) The second big announcement is that we have an official "Tournament Organizer" within our ranks as of a few days ago! We will now be holding Sanctioned tournaments every other Sunday (at first) starting November 8th!!! We hope that these two new additions to our community's schedule will bring many good times to come at our future events. :-D
