THE WINKING OWL EVERYONE HAS A STORY MP3 TRIAL
Magic time! My first opponent for my first ever Grand Prix Trial was local Swede, Hakon. Fingers crossed that my mana base would hold together… Because I'm an old-school player I couldn't resist using Terramorphic Expanse to splash into Black as a third color for Doom Blade and a Rise from the Grave. I still wasn't sure that was an entirely fair trade but managed to build a Red/White deck with an ok curve that capped out at a couple of potentially game-winning Mythic rares. He seemed happy with what he'd been given, and in return he had handed me Chandra Nalaar and an Inferno Titan. Unfortunately for me this was only the deck I registered and I had to pass it across the table to my fellow trialist sat opposite. The pool I was given to register had powerful red cards with an Ancient Hellkite and a pair of Fireballs as the headline act and a further fifteen red cards you would be happy to play if it wasn't for the Birds of Paradise and Llanowar Elves that fuelled a bunch of angry green creatures.

I sat down to experience the Grand Prix Trial environment for myself. The Magic gods appeared to have favored Shuuhei once again, as I watched him mulling over just how many of his three Fireballs he should include in his deck (he correctly chose to play all three). Shuuhei certainly doesn't need any more byes, because he'd be in danger of skipping the entirety of Day One, but he loves to play and is always happy to fit in just a little bit more practice.

In amongst those Grand Prix trial lists were some Pro Tour luminaries, including Japanese legend Shuuhei Nakamura. The queue was out the door, and the first five flights launched as quickly as players could be registered for them. Clearly players were hungry for both a shot at earning themselves three valuable byes or Saturday morning, and also for some Magic 2011 sealed deck action. Last but not least we would have a truly unique Magic experience - the very first sneak peak at Magic 2012! Top Magic artist Aleksi Briclot, whose work on the game includes the iconic Planeswalkers such as Jace Beleren and Chandra Nalaar, would be painting an M12 card live in front of the audience that night!Įvents kicked off as early as midday, with the first of 14 (fourteen!) Grand Prix Trial flights - the most Grand Prix Trials we've ever had at a European Grand Prix. As the final decorations were shifted into place around the hall we had Grand Prix Trials ready to launch, a buzzing trade stand, a Super Friday Night Magic to look forward to. That famous rhyming couplet was written by Clement Clark Moore in 1823, and clearly he hadn't ever attended a Grand Prix because here in Gothenburg the night before the Grand Prix was a hive of activity. Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all thro' the house
