Continue reading “January 2023 Monthly – Event”We had 40 players joined us for the first ever ChaosCon. 39 players played 5 rounds of Old School (Boreal banlist) and 22 played 4 rounds of Premodern.
We had participants join us from Montreal, Toronto, and Ottawa Valley, and had the chance to meet several Ottawans who’d never played Old School before.

In March, 16 dragon masters from all across the EST timezone lined-up to battle for some gold.
We had a better representation of the dragons this time. Instead of half of all decks being Nicol Bolas, he commanded a more reasonable quarter of the decks out there.
