It's that time of year again! Middle School World Champs during Eternal Weekend! This year is a Halloween special, so come with a costume please!
This year we are playing at:
Burghers Brewing Co
400 Grant Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15209

Please eat and drink at this lovely establishment, they have set aside tables for us at no cost and we should all show some love and support to the venue!

Of note for you Premodern players: combat damage is put onto the stack, mana burn exists, and the Wishes work in their original functionality, meaning you can retrieve exiled cards with them.
The tournament will be a Swiss event with a Top 8 this year.
I have prizes for 1st thru 3rd place, a most creative deck prize to be voted on by the players, and a last place prize for whomever sticks it out all rounds of the Swiss and finds themselves playing by golf rules.
1st, 2nd, and 3rd will all receive a commissioned art piece by Amethyst Vasquez, I am going to try to get an oversized magic card to put them into as well but that might not happen in time.
Most creative deck winner will receive a custom copy machine deckbox, because everyone will want to copy your sick tech.
Last place will receive 4x Dwight 'The Office' Swords to Plowshares stained with beet juice. I tried to get pizza mana signed by Papa John for this, but he never returned my inquiry.
We should start roughly at 4p, play probably 5 rounds of Swiss, followed by a cut to top 8. Or not, if everyone just wants to stop playing and go enjoy the Halloween events around town. I don't care.
