We were plagued by a couple of different issues for this event. Not the least of which was yet another major snowfall around this event. Between that (losing us 2-3 players) and staffing issues at another local store losing us another player, we were reduced down to 4 players.
The silver lining is that I was replacing my usual "clix" based birthday event with this one, so I only had to pay for 4 players to play instead of 8...
We drafted for this format, only keeping your persona, weapon of choice, and fixed cards from the starter. The rest of the cards from the starter and two boosters were drafted.
Overall we had two Grayson decks, one Amanda, and one Duncan deck. I would have given a more blow-by-blow report, but I also was given a birthday present of a brush with pneumonia so I have been out for a bit while the antibiotics did their job and I did not risk infecting anyone else.
I can tell you that our players gained a new respect for Grayson. He has some nasty mill to him. In fact it was only by a leap of luck that Duncan was able to take out Grayson in this event. The player with the Duncan was definitely more pleased with this format than the straight sealed. Partially that might have been due to Core set instead of the 2nd printing Beta, but we are not totally sure.
