Yesterday, I went with Tim, Brad, Andy, and Richard to the prerelease for Magic: The Gathering’s newest expansion, Future Sight. We went to the one in Detroit, more specifically it was at the Rock Financial Center in Novi. We saw Casey, Jamie, Andy S., and a few other Grand Rapids Magic Players there too. Tim and I played in Flight 7, while pretty much everyone else played in Flight 6 (32-players each). Team Grand Rapids didn’t fare too well at this prerelease. I came in 7th place and won 6 packs. Casey also won 6 packs, and Jamie won like a half-box or a box.

The deck I built was G/B. It mostly was Green fat with Black creature removal. My first match I lost to a deck with serious life gaining (Soul Loop, plus others) and flyers. Flyers were a problem the second match too, but I got 1-0-1. I was able to pull out enough wins to make it into seventh - yay!

After MTG, Tim, Brad, and I header over to Steve’s and Gina’s Birthday Party at Laser Quest. We all had a lot of fun. I lost to Brad and Tim at air hockey. About 30 people played in three rounds of laser tag. I really enjoyed it - it was my first time playing. Tim took first the first round, third the second round,and I do not remember for the third. Brad and I were around 20th place the first round. Brad improved a lot the second round, and I improved a little. After we were all done having fun and wishing Steve and Gina well we headed to GR.
