Hi everyone,
There's a slight delay in the sanctionned events appearing online and the dates will be screwed up. Everything should have appeared by next week and back to normal.
Cheers, Olivier

Hi everyone, I guess everyone was at the Palm yesterday We'll have a constructed and a draft tomorrow as always but I'll also be taking with me a 100-cards Highlander deck for some multiplayer fun. For those interested in highlander format here are the rules: -80 cards minimum -only one copy of each card is allowed -any set can be used, banned cards are the same as in Legacy If there arent many ppl for the first event, we'll go for a 5-man Pentacle or Chaos. If not, it's a 6-man Emperor or 2HG! Multiplayer FTW! Cheers, Olivier

Hey there guys, Just thought I'd let you guys know why I haven't been attending at any Magic nights lately. I was away on holiday for a week and then when I got back I was insanely busy at work. I've got another week off now and will be back in the desert at the end of next week. See you guys after that! Cheers, Omid Well, we'll be happy to see you again! Cheers, Olivier

I've finaly received the update on last Thursday tourney, here is the updated rankings.
# Name Rating Win % Loss % No. Matches 1 Glen 1,768 78% 22% 9 2 Zak 1,746 63% 37% 19 3 Trevor 1,719 73% 27% 11 4 Diego 1,695 60% 40% 15 5 Omar 1,693 48% 52% 42 6 Olivier 1,667 59% 41% 34 7 Omid 1,628 67% 33% 3 8 BoP 1,568 57% 43% 21 9 Dave 1,560 25% 75% 4 10 Loki 1,543 46% 54% 13 11 Nadim 1,457 28% 72% 18
Congrats to Glen for taking the top spot again following his strong performance.
The 100th match was fought between me and Loki, it's a milestone.
At the end of week 3 we now have 11 players and 127 matches fought so far out of which a whopping 42 have been played by Omar (1/3 of all matches). Let's keep it up! A special prize will go to the ones fighting the 200th match of the league and next season will see special prizes for 100th, 200th, 300th matches!
Woot!

Rules Tip of the Day: Creatures do not tap when a regeneration shield is created. They tap if this shield is later used, when the creature would be destroyed. Another good one, i think it has come up recently as well. Nop, it's actualy quite old; it's been like this since they changed the way regeneration works. The "regeneration shield" must be played like any other ability, so don't try to activate it once you are resolving damage or you would loosed your creature.

I think it should rotate evenly, for example if a person can only ever make it to the 7pm session then all they'll ever play is draft, and never get to play constructed. Perhaps week 1 Constructed 4pm Draft 7pm week 2 Draft 4pm Constructed 7.30pm rinse repeat Great idea! Let's start this week, calendar is up for November accordingly

I will update Oliver on last Thursdays event tonight so he can get them into the league. Just waiting on that to issue the ranking update. I can already say that Zak/Glen are fighting for the top spot.

Hi everyone,
The previous poll about the favourite playdays made it clear that we should avoid fragmenting the community with too many tourneys, we thus removed the Tuesday tournaments for now.
This is the second of a series of 2 polls which will help us in organizing your favourite type of events and prizes structure.
Cheers, Olivier & Trevor
