Welcome guys to another installment of the unofficial War Torn Front blog. This week, we mellow out and talk a bit about the local happenings, EDH league round 2. and Duel Commander. No EDH Play by Play this week, but do not fret, this article will give you a healthy dose of EDH action. So lets go!
After last week's crazy amount of publicity on our front, it is nice to have a relative quite week for the community. First off let me congratulate several people who won Game Days this weekend. First off, Congrats to Vincent Sandoval for winning War Torn Front's Game Day, to Tyler Clary for winning Krier's Cards and Comics Game Day, Ricardo Ybarra and Vicente Davis for winning Arcane Lab's Saturday and Sunday Game Days, respectfully, Lukas Bradshaw for winning Gamer's Path's Sunday Game Day, Little Gregory for proving he can be a boss, even if he can not legally drive yet, and a special shout out to Joshua Burall for coming in 39th place at the PTQ. Nice job to all of you guys. It is always great to see familiar players winning it up, so please keep it at!
This week War Torn Front is playing host to a Maxpoint TCGPlayer Silver Event. This standard event is a cool $25 and prize payout is guaranteed down to 16th place. So looking for an excuse to test a new Standard list, think you got the solution to the shifting meta, or do you think you got what is takes to Play to Win? Then Come on down, this saturday for a chance to win some cash and Maxpoints and playmats.
If Standard is not your thing, come on down during FNM and draft. War Torn Front has reduced their prices on drafts to $12 and kept the prize support. If that was not enough, they now offer the 0-2 drop special. If you go 0-2 drop at FNM and decide to draft, your draft is only $11. Same prize support, lower prices. Now thats what I call winning. War Torn Front, the only Place to Win in Manteca!
Shifting gears, War Torn Front has been dabbling with a more casual approach to bring in players. In case, you have not heard War Torn Front is currently testing an EDH League. As many of you remember, we had an EDH League going when Alluring Treasures was the shop. The league fell to the wayside due to various issues, but know Placido Galvin and Chia are working to revitalize it. This past week, a closed beta of the EDH League was run to decent results. While I can not give out full details yet, I must say it is looking promising. I believe we have a few bugs to work out with a Krenko list, and multiple Wildfires, but overall promising. We will continue this week with work on it. If you are interested in helping test the league be down at the shop between Today and Wednesday, and watch the Twitter for various announcements about testing. Keep an ear out as further announcement about EDh League return surfaces!
Duel Commander time! I want to give a shout out to a new friend and Duel Commander guru Jesus Navarro aka Jessie. A few weeks ago Jessie addressed the issue of Duel Commander as a format and came to War Torn Front to show it off. At first, I was very skeptical of the format, but after reading several resources like MTGSalvation, Duelcommander.com, and various article from Fireball and Star City, I have grown to appreciate this format. It also helps, that the GP in Oakland is hosting a side event for it. I do not feel qualified to talk about Duel Commander in depth, so instead take a look at this piece.
Finally, make sure you follow War Torn Front's Twitter @ WarTornFront. They will be using the Twitter to announce ideas and promotions, so make sure you are plugged into the most current news and content from the local scene.
Thats wraps up another edition of the unofficial War Torn Front blog. Come back next week as we discuss the TCGPlayer Silver event, and more EDH news as GP Oakland draws near! Till then faithful readers, This is Brandon signing off!
