@ Fellow Council member Shawn G and the store owner for holding this event. it was a swell time!


I started my day losing the die roll. Then I lost to a turn one Tezz with force back up round one game one by John Jones. So needless to say FML.

[MagicIsCardboardCrack]

I think the 2nd place list is missing a voltaic key.

[Cunningbeaver]

The time vault is supposed to be time walk methinks.

[minusblindfold]

Think time vault = time walk. Is it missing demonic tutor?

[Kameli0n]

Sorry, tried to update the list yesterday but ended up injured at work again and my right hand is splinted again. The list was missing the dt and t vault was walk. My apologies.
