Here in Iaşi we’ve always promoted competitive tournaments more than casual play. We try to play in DCI sanctioned tournaments every Saturday as much as possible. But true competition can’t always be achieved when the setting’s all the same.
The good news is the Nationals are coming up. (more…)
As you all probably know, Alara Reborn, the next set to be released and the final one of the Alara block, is coming straight at us with great speed. While the set is still far away, the very nice mages of the coast have decided to show us a preview card, but sadly, being evil wizards that they are, they erased all the magical rules text. But somehow, I get the feeling there’s more to this preview than meets the eye. Let’s have another look.

Due to popular request, we’ve scraped the Standard tournament planned for this weekend and replaced with this… well, you know now.

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.

If you’re a keen observer of the Calendar of Events you most probably already know that we’re having a Conflux Prerelease party in schedule for the end of January. Also in schedule for the beginning of the year: find alternative places to host tournaments; get more people to become planeswalkers and join us in tournaments.
A few days back I’ve mumbled a few things about a special event to end the year with. Here are a couple finalist ideas. Of course, you’re free to post new ideas in the comments, and if the catch up we’ll do that instead.
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.
Last weekend we played a standard constructed tournament in the same setting as the draft. Performing my duty for the community, here are the results and some information about upcoming events.
