We had 18 wizards join us for the September monthly at the Royal Oak on Kent Street including two new players.
The monthly also coincided with the Ottawa launch of Interrupt, Canada’s premier Old School zine. Get your copy by contacting Kevin or @foggie.
This month, decks skewed towards being spikier with 2 appearances each from Workshop decks and The Deck.
Though both Workshop decks were off-meta, lands that make 3 mana do seem to push you far ahead.
There were also plenty of burn spells to go around, finding homes in RG Erhnam Djinn, Sedge Troll, and Atog builds.
There were three 3-0s headed into the last round which meant a winner could be decided on breakers. That is exactly what happened. Patrick and Matt both finish 4-0 but Patrick takes it on breakers. Congratulations Patrick!
