I know it’s been a while since the event, but I suppose it still warrants a text-and-picture based recap for \u00a0those who follow.<\/p>\n

This past Saturday, twenty of the area’s spell-slingers gathered for five rounds of swiss, then a 3-round single elimination top 8.<\/p>\n

The \u00a0format was sealed-deck, but there was a choice of faction (Mirran or Phyrexian) which turned the whole day into a team game.<\/p>\n

We all had all had a blast and can’t wait to see how the release set goes down.<\/p>\n

But without further ado, here’s the top 8:<\/p>\n

1. Justin Perdue<\/p>\n

2. Ben Holdren<\/p>\n

3. Aaron McGlothlin<\/p>\n

4. Roger Cantley<\/p>\n

5. Justin Stewart<\/p>\n

6. Ben Shumate<\/p>\n

7. Arden Hamrick<\/p>\n

8. Johnathon Shrader<\/p>\n

As for the pics, you’ll note that there’s a troll in the top 8 draft, awesomely funny.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
