We had 11 players show up for round 5, one short of the number needed to divide the table into two. This meant we started late and finished later too, but I think a good time was had by all. The kills were shared around this time with Eddie C getting 3, Anthony H and […]
Friday night saw six Magic players come to the table for an 8.00pm start to the game. Six players is often considered a bad number for melee, since with the range of influence rule each player has just one opponent who is out of their range. This can often lead to inadvertent kingmaking where a […]
It was a quieter round 3, with the minimum number of players (5) present for the melee. Four of those players used the situation to take the melee deck challenge and gain an achievement. David K won the round with a challenge deck, and yes someone else chose the deck for him! David got all […]

Jeremy N took out the final competitive round in this year’s league. It turns out players should being either flying defence, or creature removal. Only Keith was smart, and eventually he ran out of cards! Here are the final standings for 2015: The top 8 names are in green. Leanne J in ninth place will […]
There was a short but not sweet round this month. After the infinite combo won the day there was a spirited discussion about how many rounds have ended this way in 2015.
