Midwest Masters Series – final results!
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.

Magic US Nationals
Well folks, finally I’ve been cleared to let you know what’s up.
Magic the Gathering Nationals will be held this year in Minneapolis on August 21st, thats 2 weeks after Gen Con. The event will be in exact same room Grand Prix Minneapolis was in at the Minneapolis Convention Center. There is a room block secured at the Hyatt Regency right across the block from The Convention Center. Rooms are $99 and currently offer free wireless internet. It’s a great price at a great venue
More details will start rolling out over the next couple weeks including links to the hyatt for reservations and Public Events Schedule.
Yep, it’s a little later than normal this year, but that’s where we ended up.
Look for an announcement about the Magic Regionals coming soon from WotC proper. We should have that news by the first of April.

MMS Pittsburgh rescheduled!
Mike has shuffled a ton of his events to accommodate the MMS move, mostly due to venue issues.. the MMS in Pittsburgh cancelled for the snow-pocalypse has been rescheduled to 07/17/10. Same location as the previous one was scheduled. those of you close to mikes area and may be attending PTQs and other MMS events, note that PTQ dates may have changed to make the squeezes happen; the Columbus MMS is now moved to 6/19 with a PTQ the day after on 6/20.
full details will be posted on http://www.magicmastersseries.com very soon!
Back at it!
whew.
What a couple crazy weeks!
Lindsey and I got back from the MC2 cruise and were home just about long enough to wash our clothes, respond to the critical emails that had piled up then off we went to Pro Tour San Diego!
MC2 was an ENORMOUS amount of fun! Check out Evan Erwin’s Magic show! MC3 reservations are open on the MC3 page under the magic header. We’ve already got a bunch of people signed up for it and spots WILL be limited. I’ve spoken with Brian Kibler about coming aboard to be our VIP and he’s said as long as a PT isn’t scheduled on top of the event (which I’ve gotten assurances there won’t be!) He’d be delighted to come! We should have that locked up in the next couple of weeks!
PT San Diego was a great show with lots of folks showing up. We blew the last PT San Diego out of the water for attendance at Public Events. Despite the good sized crowds, it was among the smoothest events ever! Thanks to all the judge crew and operations staff who worked so hard to show the players a great time!
Next up for us is the Midwest Masters Series event in minneapolis. TCG player.com is sending the GGs live crew out for some great video and event reports.
We’ll have some great vendors onsite buying and selling and trading with you:
Gaming etc
Lotus Vault
