So, it looks like I missed the memo where \u201cGrand Prix\u201d was phased out of the MTG lexicon. Those officially sponsored events are now a \u201cMagical Festival\u201d, or some sorta something? I don\u2019t know. And, I don\u2019t really care. But those MF events, held about once a year here in LA, are a good excuse for fellow Old So, along with the typical donated and signed pool of cards, we decided to stick to the healthy, \u201cGaea\u2019s\u201d theme of the venue with the prize pool \u2013 as a door prize, everyone received a revised Regrowth, stamped for the event. 3rd<\/sup> Place received an UNL Regrowth, 2nd<\/sup> a Beta, and 1st<\/sup> and Alpha Regrowth. (Since Brian has no hair on his behind, he was too afraid to stamp those cards with the event stamp, but I would have\u2026just saying<\/em>). The rest of the top 8 also received various green cards. AND\u2026\u2026\u2026 everyone received a surprise gift — a kick ass playmat!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The competition was turned up a couple of notches. There were some rogue and casual decks present, but a grip of folks came looking for a fight, with decks that ranged from Shops, MB Discard, Various Prison builds, Atogs, RU Control, and more than one The Deck:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Top 8 after 6 rounds<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong> With a slim margin, Nick (@Studio_Headz) squeaked out the top spot with his \u201cMachine Gun\u201d UWb Shops deck. In one game, Copy Artifact Trikes and Disenchants were too much with Nick calling \u201cMachine Gun\u201d and activating a Trike killing a Lion, Order, and Javalineer, then copying the Trike to cruise to the win. In other games Icy-tapped Cities of Brass were a surprise momentum shifter, swinging games in his favor. Its worth noting too, that Nick was able to pick up 2\/3 Workshops he at the MF vendor tables about an hour before the event \u2013 and he immediately cobbled together the deck, finishing it just before 1st<\/sup> pairings were up. Nick feels 3 Shops was a good number for this event as he doesn\u2019t recall waiting\/wishing he would draw one (but in the few days since the event he has already picked up the 4th<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\nFarts<\/del> Schoolers to get together and break balls, laugh, drink, and compete against each other in EC 93\/94. Which is just what we Deep Spawners did on 3\/2\/19, even though our beloved Chris (@Elusiv) was AWOL. 40 of us had a great time, at a warehouse district venue in the back of a health food\/vegan caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
