= MtG: Free Play
= Tuesday, June 30th, 2009
About ten people were present for free-play night, including one new face (always a good thing). Games were played and fun was had. Lingering discussion on M10, the rules changes, and the near future of the game continued. So far the response to M10 has been .. meh. Some key cards have been purchased from the shop that will appear in the new set (I won’t say which ones to avoid spoilers). On the other hand there doesn’t appear to be any ‘chase’ rares in the new set, and there’s some animosity towards the rules changes, and the almost-but-not reprints.
Personally I’m looking forward to running the prerelease, simply because this is the first prerelease for a core set. And I must admit I’ve got my list of cards that I’ll want out of the new set. Whenever a new set comes out it’s always an exciting prospect, and I think most people are looking forward to that.

SWM: 150pt Constructed
= SWM: 150pt Constructed
= Monday, June 29th, 2009
Six people attended this tournament. The actual tournament was very interesting. 4 players went 2-1, and happened to have the same OMW% - so the first four places of the tournament were decided on the third tier tiebreaker. In SWM this is total points earned over all rounds played. So we had a very interesting lineup of matches. Of course, there was more than moderate discussion of the new set, Jedi Academy (releasing tomorrow). I had a poster displayed and a few extras that I handed out free for promotional purposes.

MtG: Friday Night Magic
= MtG: Friday Night Magic
= Friday, June 27th, 2009
We had our standard 8 players for our standard Friday Night Magic. Ben R. secured first place after 3 rounds. The highlight of the night however was discussion on the newest spoilers for M10. Apparently a large number of cards became known within the past 24-48 hours, bringing the current total up to 176/249. If curious you can check the details on MtG Salvation.
Picture: The players sit down to round 1 of Friday Night Magic.

MtG: Free Play
= MtG: Free Play
= Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009
Only five people this week. Still we had a good free-play. I got beat by some bizarre blue deck that used morph, but had very little internal consistency, yet possessed some kind of bizarre synergy. I guess you could compare it to some more casual builds for highlander, except it wasn’t a Highlander deck. We also played one multiplayer game that we had to pack up early on due to time. Also helped someone else tweak their casual merfolk deck.

SWM: Free Play
= SWM: Free Play
= Monday, June 22nd, 2009
Five players dropped by for our free play night. I personally participated in two interesting skirmishes. The first was separatist vs separatist. I was running mostly smaller point figures with Dirge and Count Duku, my opponent was running General Grevious and several larger pieces such as the droid starfighter, large crab droid, spider droid, and halfire droid. Basically my smaller pieces were decimated in the early game with missiles and rockets, but I managed to pull through in the end through mostly the efforts of my two rare characters.
The other battle was just as interesting because of the build of the squads. Dave had a 150pt squad that was specifically designed to take out a squad built around General Obi-Wan (from the clone wars starter). I happened to have such a squad. Dave’s squad was centered around a collection of Kel Dor Bounty Hunter which he would strategically detonate with Darth Sidious and Count Duku (also out of the clone wars starter).
