Grand Prix Costa Rica

The latest Grand Prix event took place in the beautiful Costa Rica. The winner? It is Seth Manfield once again, less than a month after he won the Grand Prix New York. He had a similar, yet somewhat different, type of deck this time around, focused on green-white tokens. He took the win with a 2-1 match.

His opponent was Brendon Fischer with his Naya tokens deck. Brendon Fischer has yet to win a Grand Prix trophy, but has been to multiple Grand Prix. His Naya tokens deck is the same as the one that he had used in the Grand Prix New York. It includes a Planeswalker that has not seen much use by other players at these types of events, Arlinn Kord.

The next event is on June 10-12, at two different places. One event will be at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus Ohio. The other event, taking place on the same dates, is at Výstaviště PVA Expo Praha in the Czech Republic. Both of these events will follow the Legacy format.

Good luck to all the players and, as always, thanks for reading my blog!

CLASH & EVENT PACKS DISCONTINUED

Wizards of the Coast has announced that there won’t be any more Clash and Event decks due to the poor sales of these products. A Clash pack consist of two, ready-made, starter decks, which are ideal for introducing new players to the game and giving them a feel for what it’s like to play. Honestly, I never knew there was such a thing until I heard it had been discontinued. I am a big Magic: The Gathering fan and this was the first I’d heard of it? I guess that can happen to some people.

Right?

The event decks were supposed to be expert level, ready-made decks, but a lot of people didn’t seem to like the decks and made immediate changes to them. The price for them was awfully high for what they contained, especially when an Intro deck can be purchased for a much cheaper price and don’t usually need many card changes when they are first opened.
