The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (and the week that led to it)

Hope I didn't keep anyone waiting in suspense for this next post but it will certainly be worth the wait. We were once again able to host two tournaments during the week of romance. Thursday's event saw a first time winner for the Player Slayers. Congrats to Kyle and his Naya deck for overcoming Marldain and the Mill Deck of Doom!! Show us how you feel about that win

Truly in the spirit of the holiday Kyle. Share the love.

Valentines Day was when the true massacre began. Twelve people ditched their loved ones (keep quiet if your single we will pretend you did) to join us in friendly competition. The top four saw some love as Cj and Kyle rematched their earlier game which ended in a draw. Some kindness and selfless sacrifice allowed Kyle to sneak past CJ and face the former blogwriter Nate in top 2. The Vampires took to the air but failed to slay the Naya machine. So Congrats again to Kyle on two wins in one week. I'm not posting that pic again because it creeps me out. So if you enjoy the pain, check just above for another dose. Thats all for now, check back in a few days for last weeks updates and look for this weeks news on Sunday.

New Blogger & stuff thats happening

First want to say thanks to Nate for keeping this going for awhile and I hope I can continue in the tradition of your thrilling recaps of events.

Second, a quick update on whats going on at NLL with the Player Slayers. We are happy to announce our own special counter space!! Fully lit glass display cases now house our vast selection of goods (when our delivery actually arrives). Also every week we are hosting three separate sanctioned events. Tuesdays at 8pm are our sanctioned booster drafts and we hold sanctioned constructed tournaments on Thursdays at 8pm and Sundays at 4 pm. We also have instituted a bounty program for our constructed tournaments, if you are the first to beat the previous weeks winner you can collect the bounty of 1 booster pack placed on their heads. (As a side note, Boba Fett is not permitted to collect on bounties since he has a terrible habit of ignoring the wanted alive portion) As for the actual Lan center they have begun hosting gaming tournaments.

Alright, on to the good stuff. The last few weeks have seen several tournament winners both familiar faces from the Sub Shack and some of the new slayers at Next Level. Way back when on January 31st a new face dominated the tournament scene. Steve 'the chops' battled Mr. poo himself Gary for top honors and true to form Mr. poo finished #2 to 'Chops'. Gary tried to control his goblin horde but the prowess of Jund and Hell's Thunder propelled Jund to yet another tournament victory. February 7th we had a surprise Sunday visitor, Clint, who decided to show and challenge the other Player Slayers. In case you are not familiar Clint is a reclusive magic dominating creature who we bring out every so often to crush the hopes of aspiring Magic players. True to form he allowed hope to rise and then crushed it. Sneaking in to top 4 Clint then destroyed his competition with the America control deck. Only the previous weeks champion stood in his way but even Steve was not enough to stop Clint from claiming another tournament victory. Check back for pictures and more updates to catch us up to the present events.
