MTG Anniversary

Playing Magic

Last Saturday I had the opportunity to play in the Magic: The Gathering Anniversary Event;  Free, you started with one Booster and three of each basic land, players were matched in the second round, winners receiving an additional booster to play with, losers (Who played each other) did not.  Well, got skunked (2-0) in the first round, my opponent had two card advantage cards he successfully played against me (two in the first game, only one in the second).  But my second round opponent had an even worse draw, and I beat her, 2-0.  My third match (with two boosters) was another 2-0 disaster, I just don’t play enough to know how to weed/tune a two booster deck.

It was a FREE event.  So I got to play a bit and picked up some new cards.  My only complaint, after the tournament was over, everyone put away their new cards, and brought out their tournament decks again.
