Hi all,
Thanks to everyone who came out for our PreRelease weekend.
We had a great turnout with 66 players on Day 1 and 57 players on Day 2.
We gave out a bunch of Worldwake boosters and lots of door prizes.
I hope everyone had a good time.

Hi all,

Ok so I was bored last night so I decided to write a program to extract the match results from the Wizards Event Reporter save files and convert the data into an HTML table...ya, I was that bored.
So anyway, full round by round coverage of both days can now be found here...

@Adam: Yeah... I thought my deck was good, but your deck was all sorts of unfair. Getting that 4 for 2 on me with Chain Reaction was kinda gross. Not to mention a nice 2 for 1 with Marsh Casualties. Nice opens.
