The July 26th Event!!!

What an event this week was! We held two tournaments this week. One 10 person and one 6 person pre-constructed. This weeks big 10 person tourney had 4 rounds of craziness before we cut to top 4. In the top 2 spots this time we had ANOTHER Undefeated Contender vs. The Returning Champ match!!! It was John "The Dragon" (see "Tokens" posting) vs. Cisco "The Crowned King"!!! After 2 rounds of epic battle, Cisco was able to keep his crown, with a score of 2 - 0! That must have been a tough match considering John was 8 - 0 for the whole tourney! Great job Cisco, you're still the man to beat!...:-)



Now I could write some really cool thing to sum up the second tournament of the night, but I'm not. Cisco won again!!! WTF?!?!? Come on guys, someone needs to slay this playa!



What's he gonna do with all those tokens???

I tell ya, with all these wins from Cisco and all the Pre-Constructed action we've had recently, do I smell an M10 Draft coming on?...Hmmm... ;-)

Shiny Baneslayers!!!

Just a quick update on the kind of M10 pulls we've been having here since the event. As of this posting we have had 2 official shiny Baneslayer Angels pulled at our events! One by Ken Ball at the Thursday Midnight M10 Event from a booster pack, and another one by Jose the following Thursday from a Fat Pack. Beware of the Shiny Baneslayer Angel, for she will wreck your day!!!



Check back soon for more awesome pulls and tournament updates!

The July 19th Event!!!

And here it is, Steele's attempt at a 3rd tournament championship! This week we held an 8 person tournament AND a 6 person tournament! Both were swiss style and both were a whole lot of fun... After 3 rounds in the 8 player tourney Steele had managed to make it to the top 2 for the third tournament in a row. However, his super fast Esper deck would have to face Cisco's undefeated (in this tournament anyhow) Bant deck! What a match it was. After two rounds, Cisco's Bant deck remained undefeated!!! Good job Steele, I think it will be a long time before anyone get's as far as you did, but all good things must come to an end... Cisco is this weeks UNDEFEATED tournament champion!!!


This is gonna be a funny looking token...xD

We also held a second 6 person pre-con tourney this week as well. This tournament turned out to be pretty interesting as well... For the first time ever two of the founding 5 made it into the top 2! It was Chris vs. Clint! After a vicious battle and an over all score of 2-1, Clint was able to pull out the victory! Here's an interesting pic of the top two battling it out for the prize...:-D


Our next event is on Thursday at the Sub Shack. If we get enough folks, we might just try and hold another token generating tournament this Thursday. We'll keep you posted...

July 16th Midnight Event!!!


Arrgh, We found the burried Treasure!!!

Me eye's never seen such a sight! We be having a good time tonight boys!!!

...And what a time we had! The M10 release event was a huge success! There were smores, draft tournaments, and tons of M10! There was a pretty big turn out as well. We sold out of everything except a few Fat Packs! We had to gun down some of the competition in the streets to get more...We are the Player Slayers after all...;-) Congratulations to Ken Ball for winning the first ever M10 draft tounament as well. Good Job!
Here's some more photo's of Thursday's Midnight Event...

Singles!!!

We are now officially buying AND selling individual magic cards! Currently the sets that we offer for singles are Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn, and M10 (as soon as it's released). Lorowyn, Shadowmoore, Eventide, and Morning Tide are NOT currently being bought or sold at this time. All of our singles are competitively priced and are actually a bit more fair on the buy list than usual. A big Thank You to everyone that has supported us so far. We are growing pretty quickly and we hope to be able to offer you more services such as these in the future!

Thursday's Midnight M10 Event!

Friday July 17th, the Magic 2010 core set becomes tournament legal and available for sale. We were unable to hold prerelease events which saddened us greatly. But there remains a silver lining, we have the ability to hold a midnight launch. And so it shall be done! Thursday night join us for food, fun, and best of all the release of the new cards. We are certainly excited about all the new deck possibilities the new set brings. When the clock strikes 12:01 we will make available everything M10 we can offer. As with all new sets, Wizards of the Coast underestimated the demand their product would have, so all stores had their order quantities reduced. We are going to do our best to ensure everyone gets everything they wanted. We had wanted to offer a 5 person intro pack tournament but that will most likely be cancelled. We are hoping to have enough boosters to do a Thursday night draft but we will have to see. One event that we are excited about is our 1st official info card smore cookout. All those pack fillers that Nate has been collecting will be turned into fuel for a smore-making bonfire. Bring your decks and prepare for a whole new level of Magic!

TOKENS!!!!
So in the past and for future tournaments we have been giving out tokens as rewards for winners. Well if you have been to any of our events you would have seen these babies flying around but if you have not had a chance to come by below you can find images of some of the awesome tokens already made for the previous winners. Maybe you are the next winner of
your own custom made token!




Also it looks like one of our friends and winner of last weeks tournament got himself a
side job as a model.....

Take a look at the billboard I saw on the side of the road the other day.


Just kidding, look forward to seeing every one this week at the Sub Shack. Remeber last week before M10 so get some play out of those old X cards now :)

The July 5th Event...

This weeks event held quite a few surprises. We held a 10 Player Slayer swiss style tourney. And after many twists and turns, our top 4 were Cisco, Steele, Clint, andCody! Steele won the match against Cisco to jolt him into the top 2. Clint was able to steadily defeat Cody to propell himself to top 2 as well. And in the end, it was Steele with his Esper Artifact deck that was victorious in a 2 -0 victory over Clint's 5 color control deck! To the winner goes the spoils... Congratulations Steele on your first tournament win at one of our events! You've definately earned this one bro...



Will Steele be able to defend his title? Will he be able to become the first Player Slayer to win TWO tournaments in a row?!?! Find out next week, same Player Slayer time, same Player Slayer channel...

Here are a few more pics from this weeks event!
