What's Happening at Area 51!

Warmachine Tournament:
Last night (Tuesday 3/8/11) marked the Warmachine tournament for the month of March! With it being a special holiday (Fat Tuesday) the guys played a themed event entitled "Thunderdome!" This allowed each player to take three Warcasters only and compete against 3 other players to be the last caster standing! In addition to the special event, the store supplied a chest of beer and several King Cakes for the group to add to the celebration.

In the end, Jay Kolar managed a dominating run by claiming the first place prize of most overall caster kills, and the second place prize of most consecutive caster kills! Congrats Jay on an awesome showing with your Menoth trio of terror casters.

Magic the Gathering - Besieged Game Day Results
On Sunday, the store hosted the Mirrodin Besieged Game Day Tournament. This event is a staple Area 51 tournament where the winner gets a sealed booster display of the newest release. This event proved to be just as exciting as past Game Day Events...

After playing five rounds of Standard Format, the event cut to top 8 which included, Alex Andrup, Alex Huebner, Jonathan Knapik, Jonathan Snow, Ian Andrup, Matt White, Terrence Jackson and Team Area 51 Alumni Mike Ferri. The top Mirran players who walked away with special preview cards from the next set were Jonathan Snow and Brian Subia. The top Phyrexian players taking preview cards were Donnie Rose and Jason Blackmor.
