We gathered to ring in the new year by bashing together some commander decks. Sprits were high leading in, and we managed to jam four complete games without crushing too many underfoot. I had my new 20 ways to win and managed to get 20 cards in hand for the 20-toed-toad win on game #1. …
NSHU Perry Hall hosted some Commander Magic, with paper cards, and humans! We said we were going to start at 7, I think the first cards were played at 7:48 and we for sure crossed midnight. Everyone got in 2 games though, so that’s something. We also had quite the crowd, some who have been …
We finally made the Draft event in Baltimore happen; disease or disaster be damned! With six faculty on hand, we made use of a team draft format pitting teams of three in three* rounds to determine the champions. *Actually this draft took so long that we didn’t get through all games of the last round, …

We gathered last weekend to crack some packs of the new MTG set Murders at Karlov Manor. Because of a competing event, we only had 6 players which means a team draft format. So Jeremy, Dean, and Blaire faced off against Pete, Russ, and Chris. The games were hard fought, but after two rounds these …

We gathered last weekend to scourge the skies with Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest. This is a very approachable game and you generally get the basic mechanics after the end of the first round, but it’s also got enough variation in possible card selection to keep it interesting too. I was familiar with standard Libertalia, so …
I played a game of Commander with my nephews yesterday, it was the older one’s birthday and I’d given him some upgrades for his precon so they were all pumped to play. Unfortunately I didn’t have a ton of time, so I showed them my Rakdos “Watch the World Burn” deck. They are now familiar …
Over the Thanksgiving break I dropped in to a board game cafe in Asheville called Well Played. They have a suitably impressive array of games available to while away an afternoon or 400.
