Brian Kibler will be attending the Scars of Mirrodin Prerelease at Misty Mountain North on Sept 25th, so bring your decks and do your best to win my packs from him! (chances are you’ll be able to talk him into a game of Ascension somewhere along the way too!)

Congratulations to Madison’s Sam Black for winning the Midwest Masters Series championship at Gen Con this past week. He fought through a literal who’s who of 64 of the best players the midwest had to put out there and came out on top!
well.. that was fast.
regrettably due to an unforeseen conflict Brian Kibler has had to pull from MC3. Let me go a little farther and say this is NOT his fault so no backlash for him please! We’ll still do what we can to load up the crew! I know a bunch of WotC HQ people are planning to come, some have already booked. I need to let this brew a couple weeks and I should be able to clear up a few things and make some more solid announcements.
The timing was very unfortunate (having JUST decided to go ahead on this Kibler announcement late wednesday night), but that’s life sometimes right? please check back in for MC3 updates as we go!

Vincent Proce will be joining us Friday-Sunday at MtG US Nationals in Minneapolis (Grinders begin Thursday Aug 19th!). Check out Vinces body of work HERE!

With much sadness, we announce that Evan Erwin/the Magic Show, will not be on MC3, thing just didn’t work out for this show with his new gig at Star City. BUT we’ve got Magic Blogger, former R&D intern, and regular PT Reporter Bill Stark joining us in his place!
Check back for confirmation on our 2nd VIP (likely to be either Brian Kibler, or Brad Nelson!)
We have confirmation on our Gunslingers and 1 artist for Magic Nationals on Aug 20th in Minnepaolis, MN.
We’ll be joined by Tom LaPille and Zac Hill from Wizards of the Coast R&D and Mike “Darken” Lim, a fan favorite artist! You can see Daarken’s MtG art HERE or visit his website directly! daarken.com
I’m still working to confirm a 2nd artist for this show, but haven’t been able to finalize yet! hopefully I’ll get details on that within the next few days but I didn’t want to wait ANY longer to announce what we already DO have!
We’ve just announced a last minute promotional item! We’ve been working on it for a few weeks, but just got the word they’re coming down and given permission to start promoting… so here we go!
This is a full sized 24″ x 36″ poster and will be printed on glossy card stock. These items will be free to every participant (while supplies last) at the Regional Prerelease in Burnsville, MN at Misty Mountain! We’ve also got artist Rob Alexander coming, and Bill Stark coming to gunsling, should be a great time!
Here’s a little clip of the poster…
Come out and get yours!

Sorry it’s been so long in getting you this info!
Rob Alexander, artist on pretty close to a billion cards, is joining us for M11 in Burnsville MN for the Minneapolis Regional Prerelease. You can find a list of his cards here so you can come prepared to buy your favorite prints and get autographs! We’re worked with Rob before (at Magic nationals 2009 in Kansas City) and he’s a great guy and happy to get to hang out with all his fans! Check out his full list here
Bill Stark will be defending a pile of packs I put in front of him. Bill hails originally from Iowa but has been transplanted to Seattle where he worked as an intern for the Mother Ship doing all sorts of things including globe trotting event reporting. He sitll finds himself all over the world doing event reporting for Wizards and has his own Blog/news site: the Starkington Post
So come out to Misty Mountain in Burnsville for your M11 fix and get your favorite cards signed and try to win a few of my packs from Bill Stark!

Public events schedule is now up!

A great weekend of magic finished up Sunday night after a 201 player PTQ at Misty Mountain Games in Madison. I had not expected more than 170-180 top side so we were a little tight in the space. the players were all awesome though and we muddled through. I guess that means I won’t be trying to put another PTQ in that space again. We had been getting consistently 150s for PTQs when I ran them OUTSIDE the store in madison, so I thought we’d be allright being back to back with the MMS. boy was I wrong! thanks to all for coming out to the MMS, which had 218 players and SO many stayed for day 2 of the action!
The MMS finished up pretty early, around 7:30pm when the top 4 split the remaining prize and headed home. Following is a list of the T8 decklists placed in order after swiss, but noting 1/4th or 5/8th, 5/8th meaning they lost their quarter final match.
read on!
