Multiplayer Enchantments Week: The Winner, And Next Week's Contest!
The "Top Three Multiplayer Enchantments" week was an interesting one (and not just because of a one-week delay when I was installing and upgrading the new Deck Database). But this week's winner won on the strength of solid deckbuilding alone: not only did he have solid Pestilence and Death Pits of Rath decks to back up his claim, but his usage of Panoptic Mirror and Armageddon to break Island Sanctuary was a positive hoot. Thus, Dave Almansor's Building A Better Pestilence Deck takes the $20 prize!
What's next week's challenge?
Emperor Multiplayer.
That's right; everybody's favorite six-player format finally steps to the fore at StarCityGames.com! Articles can be about either Emperor Constructed or Emperor Draft, though Constructed articles should provide a deck and what position it's for: Flank or Emperor. (A contest-winning article, however, will provide all three decks for a unified front of terrifying power.)
Send your article in to theferrett@starcitygames.com and you could win $20 in our Casual Challenge!
