Ok, contează foarte mult şi să câştigi câte o competiţie din când în când. Contează şi mai mult să evoluezi în cariera ta de planeswalker. Totuşi acum vreau să vă povestesc cât de mulţumitor este să primeşti de la Wizards of the Coast un plic în care scrie “îţi mulţumim pentru că joci” şi mai mult, să descoperi ce ai primit de la ei!
I sense a disturbance in the mana. Magic wasn’t so agitated this February. I’ll just assume it’s a matter of natural events that caused this, which would in turn mean we’re going to be fine in the future. After all, there are some new rules in place meant to deal with this problem specifically. Let’s review our tournament status.
This year started with a few hiccups, because of our playing location. The games were good, even though this chase for a new location affected us in some way. We’ve played 2 tournaments so far, since yesterday’s got canceled due to lack of players.
Well, here we are near the end of 2008, about to draw the line and see what we’ve accomplished during the year that passed. In our community of planeswalkers, who’s only just begun, we’ve accomplished a great deal of tournaments. Here’s a round up of what we’ve played so far:
The special event was quite fun! I wouldn’t do this too often, since the Vintage format is quite hard core. Maybe with various occasions we’ll try other formats as well, especially multiplayer ones.
It seems to me like the Two Headed Giant isn’t supported enough or something. It’s true it’s a format to which less people have access since you have to pair with someone and actually build two decks together to play. Still, though, I feel like we could have some more participation.

It took only two rounds to decide the answer to yesterday’s question. The finals were disputed between two Naya decks, so it was pretty obvious which Shard would win. By the way, my apologies for the misleading title of yesterday’s entry. It wasn’t a true dispute between the shards, because the “shards” rule wasn’t in place. We’ve just played a regular block constructed game.
We drafted last Saturday, and there’s still a bitter taste in our mouths. Well, except for Ender, who opened a Sarkhan Vol. Drafting Shards of Alara isn’t quite as easy and fun as drafting Lorwyn/Morningtide.
Last Saturday we played the first sanctioned multiplayer event. It was very nice to see everyone taking it deadly serious, and presenting specially crafted decks for the event. We’re all looking forward to the next 2HG event, which, alas, we won’t make until next month.
It’s been a while since I last blogged on the happenings of our starting Magic: The Gathering community, so here’s a recap.
