Rise of the New Set

Welcome to a world in chaos. Welcome to the world post Rise of the Eldrazi. Thursday night at 12:01 the masses crowded around for the first available packs of Rise of the Eldrazi. There were shouts of joy and cries of triumph as packs littered the tabletops. Before the midnight madness we did have a constructed block tournament. Cory Hall took first place and carried that momentum into the largest draft tournament we have ever held at The Player Slayers. Thirteen people cracked packs and battled out with only four emerging into the finals. Unfortunately it was late in the evening and a diplomatic resolution was found as they all split the prizes.

This past Sunday we had our post release tournament. A few of the new cards received play time but the most impactful seemed to be the new counterspell deprive helping me pilot blue white control to a split with Caesar and his Grixis burn.

Check our facebook page for pictures of the event.

FNM!!!!!

Starting May 7th Next Level Lan will be hosting Friday Night Magic Events.

April Showers Rise Eldrazi...

Well we are two weeks away from Rise of the Eldrazi. Big monsters loom in the horizon and the tournament scene should prepare for 4/3 hasters who return from the dead and giant monsters that punish late game. But before we look to the future lets check what has been happening here at NLL.

The last few tournaments have shown the quality of players we have. New champions are crowned each tournament and nobody has been able to dominate as in the past. We've seen Alex and mono Black vampires run rampant, Jund has won two Sundays in a row but one was piloted by Kiel and the other by Mark. We've seen a rise in Bant play and Blue/White control is trying to gain its foothold in the format.

We continue to increase our quantity of players as well which is great and we welcome the new players to test their mettle in our Thursday and Sunday tournaments. If you aren't looking to compete in the sanctioned events come in on Wednesday nights and play in our Pauper events. The rules are simple, commons only in Standard format.

Looking to the future once again, we are pruod to announce we will begin hosting FNM here at NLL. As soon as I get a set date I will do a post so keep your eyes peeled.

Also want to say Happy Birthday Frank! It was not a Lie!
