Yup, due to so many awesome MTG tournaments being run in May, there won't be a date for a Blue Bell. AU runs their releases on Friday night, so their Saturday is open. Even if we get a "smaller" turnout then it'll still be a lot of fun.

Any update on the prizes yet Nick?
Also, for those of you concerned about the tournament being held on release weekend, the other AU store* in Holmes (about a half-hour drive from Blue Bell) is holding a release tournament Saturday night. In the highly-unlikely event I don't Top 8 the Vintage tourney I'll be headed down there to rise my Eldrazi.
* actually, I should say, one of the other AU stores, as another one just opened in Wilmington. The empire is expanding!

Find me at the tournament. <3 |

You should come Brassman. It's been a long time. I have a korean 4th edition Brassman for you whenever I see you next. You should come down for the Philly Open. |

Yea me too. I am sick as hell and played like crap, thank God that Oath is such awesome sauce. Probably the only match I played well was the mirror against Brad. I liked the deck but the dredge hate was wrong. Will fix next time
