I wish I'd worn my Shadow Era T-shirt for this photo,īut it was in a sorry state from the night before. The convention closed early, so we headed to Kyle's favourite day-time hang-out, with our special guest/stalker, NinjaDucky, who kindly took a photo of the team after dinner. Three of us decided to take part in a Magic: The Gathering beginner's tournament with NinjaDucky, where pretty much everyone except me seemed to know what they were doing already.

The last day of the convention was pretty quiet. The rest of the guys either got an early night or stuck around at the convention to try out some other games. before midnight), so I headed out to a bar with Soothslyr to (unwittingly) learn the dangers of Long Island Iced Tea. Mojumbo unleashes some Poison Gas on an unsuspecting NinjaDucky. I have no idea what the result was, but it looks like they enjoyed themselves. Later that day, NinjaDucky took on his arch-rival, Soothslyr (a.k.a. The final was between NinjaDucky and another forum user, Jobber, who ended up winning 2-1. With our new players now building up reasonable collections, we were able to run an 8-player Constructed tournament on the Saturday. He won a very special prize, which will be revealed later in this post. The winner of the tournament was none other than A1's own sexy-voiced Mage-master, NinjaDucky. The battle rages on whilst Jasmine Rosecult distracts our photographer with her two resources. Sandra Trueblade and Katrin Shieldmaiden had never seen so much action. With each player building from the contents of a Class Deck and two booster packs, More demo games were done in the morning, and then the highlight of the day was a 16-player Sealed Deck event, where each player made their deck from a Class Deck and 2 booster packs. Many of our new players wanted to come back the next day for a bigger tournament, so we lined one up. The rest of the day was spent doing demo games for new players and retailers who were interested in stocking the game, along with more Meltdown tournaments.

Greetings, players and fans of Shadow Era! GDC is in the house. Contrast this to a booster draft: for a beginner, a booster draft is actually quite difficult because it is no easy task to know precisely which cards you will need to have a competitive/viable deck and it's even harder to know what cards your opponents are going to be aiming for, which might adversely affect your ability to draft a given class card or deck strategy. The Shadow cards and those from other classes will naturally be unappealing to you (although it is theoretically possible to switch hero/class/faction if you get the right cards in your boosters). For example, if you picked Human Mage, then naturally you’re going to know that the cards you want from your boosters are Human cards, like Jasmine Rosecult, or Mage cards, like the trusty Fireball. As a result, you will have a good idea what you’re looking to find in your booster packs.
