The August 30th Event!!!

This week held an amazing turn of events!!! First of all I'd like to congratulate Jerry on entering his first Magic Tournament! Soon he'll be winning tokens like the rest of us...:-) This weeks top 2 were Cisco and Randy! In his first top 2 appearance in quite some time, Randy had a secret weapon this week. His 8 year old son Bryce was there to cheer him on! And all his cheering seems to have paid off. In an unbelievable and inexplicable turn of events, Randy's Mono-white soldier deck was able to squeeze out a 2-1 victory over Cisco's new Red/Green haste deck in the final round! Good job guys, you two make a great team! Here's Randy with his good luck charm, Bryce...

This pic should make one heck of a nice token... :-D

Here are some more pics of this weeks event...

Look, Gary's got mountains!!! Hi Jerry!

The August 23rd Event!!!

Well here it was this week again, we held a tournament and Cisco "The Champ" looked like he was going to roll right through all of the competition in this weeks 6 person throw down once again. He entered top 2 this week in the #1 spot! He faced Caeser and his now INFAMOUS Mill deck! And with all the pizazz and style that he is now famous for, Caeser "Seized" the moment! With a 2 - 0 victory, Caeser is the new man to beat at The Player Slayers community events! ALL HAIL CAESER!!!

He photographs well too!...ok maybe not...xD

Here's some more pics from this weeks events!

It just doesn't seem right to "Path to Exile" a Bane Slayer...

The August 20th Event (Thursday)!

This Thursday was an exciting one for everyone in attendance. We were able to hold a 6 person Pre-con tourney with lots of upsets! Three rounds of head to head action, followed by a quick cut to top 2! Today's top 2 were Clint and Cisco! Cisco's mono-white beat down deck has the staying power needed to win quite a few tournaments in a row, but all 5 colors in a control format proved to be too much for the mono-colored deck. Clint is today's tournament winner! Congrats Clint, I'm looking forward to seeing if you can keep your Thursday edge this week...;-)




Here's a few more pics of tonight's event...

In case you didn't recognize the "New Guy", that's Justin. He's an old school MTG player visiting from Gainesville. Hopefully he can make it for a few more events in the near future...;-)

The August 16th Event!!!

No more comments!!! Cisco won AGAIN! I'm not wasting my writing talent talking about yet ANOTHER win by Cisco...Blah Blah Blah...SOMEBODY PLEASE BEAT HIM!!!! If I would have faced him in the tourney, I would have beat him. But, the placement didn't work that way. Al got close with a top 2 turnout, but even HE couldn't beat him...ugh Ok, I'm done...

See, Cisco's face...it says PLEASE BEAT ME!!!

More pics of this weeks event...

You guys can beat Cisco right???!!!

Ugh...:-D

The August 9th Event!

Well folks, here it is, this weeks tournament update. This week we held a 6 person pre-con tourney that was full of action and close calls! Gary and Cisco came out on top. Cisco with his seemingly unbeatable mono-white deck vs. Gary's Red/White speedy goblin deck. After 3 REALLY good games, the last one was the best! Gary at one point had Cisco to 3 life and he had 35, but Cisco's Ajani Goldmane and 2 Walls of Reverence were able to swing the game to his favor! I thought Gary was going to get his first set of tokens tonight, but it turned out to be all for not. Congrats Cisco, you truely earned this one!




I just had to ask what he was going to do with all those tokens...xD

The Player Slayer Official Website!

Well, the Player Slayer community has been asking for more access, so we're giving it to you! The Player Slayers official web page is now under construction! This page will be able to offer much more than what the blog does. An updated version of the buy/sell list for singles, the founders (and maybe some lucky Slayers) will be writing articles, and much more! We will continue to write the blog (as it is a running digital "Newspaper" of sorts) in order to keep everyone informed. However, the web site should be able to expand on what the blog has started and in ways that the blog can't. If you have any ideas for this web site, please let us know! We are always interested in hearing from our community. We have big plans for this site over the long run, and I'm looking forward to seeing it all happen! Here's the web address, it should be up and running in a few weeks, but for now check out the BA under construction page that Frank made!

M10 Merchandise

Just a reminder, while all of the competition is selling M10 merchandise for near retail price (Or more in some cases), just because there is a shortage... We Player Slayers believe that it is wrong to charge more for a product, just because it is in short supply(or simply because it is popular at the time). We would rather charge our community a fair price for all of our product at all times and run out, then to jack up the price only because we can. So, we offer a friendly reminder to everyone in the Player Slayers network that our M10 booster packs are still just $2.75 (the same price as all of our packs), our boxes of M10 are still $90 (just like the other sets), and our intro packs, fat packs, and singles of M10 are all still at a fair price for anyone in our community. Because we mean it when we say BY the Players, FOR the Players!

The August 2nd Event!!!

Well, we have had some pretty exciting tournaments in recent times, and this week was no exception. This week we held a 6 person Pre-Con throwdown! It was a swiss style tourney, three rounds cut to top 2! Top 2 this week consisted of last weeks returning champ as well as a new challenger. It was Cisco "The Crowned King" vs. Clint "The Founder"! After a long drawn out battle with a record of 2 -1 Clint was able to pull off a win with his 5 color control deck. Cisco's infamous Mono-White deck came close, but no cigar this time Cisco...;-) Congrats Clint on you decisive victory...

Looking forward to next weeks event, as well as Thursday's casual play. Here are a few more pics of this weeks event...
