March 12th 2008 ---- $3 black mana
==TOURNAMENT REPORTS==
There were hot limited and Standard events last weekend at both FNC and Brothers Grim!
FNC Standard: Dan Gould, in his first tournament win ever! Dan Gould played Mono-Red Goyf and wound up in the finals with less misplays than usual, beating veteran Jim Chianese's Mannequin deck.
Grim Standard: John Madonia, in his farewell performance, playing... well no one really got to see what he was playing, since all his friends scooped to him to get his rating up. His rating is now way too high to play with the likes of us, so don't expect to see him dueling again until after Pro Tour Hollywood!
Grim Draft: Travis Harrison and Michael Catapano split in this four-round, no playoff tournament.
==FNM @ BROTHERS GRIM==
Starting in April, FNM is coming to Brothers Grim! April's FNMs will be booster drafts, but if there's enough interest, I might change them to Standard constructed events in May. No one knows for sure what the FNM promo for April is, but it's rumoured to be Sensei's Divining Top. Of course that could be complete bollocks, but Wizards has been on a roll of printing Extended cards that are actually useful as FNM promos this year, so anything could happen!
==UPCOMING EVENTS==
March 14th-16th: Grand Prix Philadelphia (Extended)I'll be judging at the GP, which means no Friday/Saturday events for me that weekend. If you're planning to play or just make it down there to play in the side events that'll be going on, it should be a lot of fun. The last GP I went to was Montreal, and I hope to come back with significantly less Canadian money this time.
Magic: the Gathering artists Mark Poole, Michael Sutfin, and Richard Kane-Ferguson will be there Saturday and Sunday to sign cards.
March 22nd: City Champs Store Finals at FNC
The top 8 players from FNC's 2007-2008 City Champs season will compete for two invites to the City Championships in April! And then they'll compete there for an invite to (or byes at) US Nationals. The Store Finals will most likely go on during the regular Standard event being held that day. And remember, if someone from the top 8 doesn't show up, the Store Finals invite passes down to the next player in line!

April 4th-6th: I-Con at Stonybrook University
Magic events will be run by me, in association with Brothers Grim, on Saturday and Sunday (5th and 6th). I'll probably still be running a tournament at Brothers Grim on Friday night. See iconsf.org for more information about attending I-Con.
April 19th-20th: Shadowmoor Prerelease
Long Island and New York City prereleases will be held on Saturday the 19th, and New York City on the 20th. Not much is known about this set yet, but read The Rumor Mill forum on MTGSalvation.com as we get closer to the release date for up to date information. I'll most likely be judging Long Island Saturday and NYC Sunday.
