The Gauntlet - Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011
From 3:30pm to 8:30pm.
A short skirmish in the afternoon, ending in defeat, was followed by a rigorous evening of training in the Mirran camp. In the first event, (Event 3.1), there were 4 Mirran players and 2 Phyrexian players. Congratulations to ME for running Mono-Black Infect to a 3-0 record for First Place, while my Phyrexian brother Joe ran Mono-Green infect (unfortunately with terrible draws) to a 1-2 record. Andrew beat Josh on tiebreakers for Second Place. I proceeded to give myself 3 packs of Mirrodin Besieged... no, I won't be opening them.
In the second event (Event 3.2) of the night, the Mirrans honed their skills and faced off against one another. Each player received a free contribution point (did not count towards the max) due to the lack of Phyrexians. 4 Mirran players played 3 rounds of round robin, with Andrew coming out on top. Congratulations to Andrew for winning Event 3.2. He received 3 packs of Scars of Mirrodin.
