States
I’m on my way home as I write this. Today was States in the US (Champs in Canada) and I was at Superstars for it. I got to Starbucks (a couple doors down from the shop) at 9:00 for coffee and breakfast. There was already a group waiting for the shop to open and starbucks was full of magic players.
It took a while to get everyone registered. Here’s the line when we joined it.
And they had to send some away… Only so many will physically fit in the building. In the end I heard there were 279 players.
Here’s a couple pics to give an idea. One toward the back of the room and one toward the front:
There were the usual regulars, yours truely included, plenty of folks from around the state, and the occasional celebraty… namely Luis Scott-Vargas, recent winner protour champion.
I ran Patrick Chapin’s latest take on 5 Color Control. I went 1-2-2 before dropping. Both draws were 1-1 with third game going to time without a winner.
After a burrito I drafted and started league play.
It was an awesome day! Played a bunch of Magic and got to meet one of the top players in the world.
Tomorrow I’ll be back for more league play and maybe some draft and/or team sealed.
