Two Trials Remain for the Real State Championships!!


Another trial is in the books as ABU Games held an event over the holiday weekend. This means there are only two chances left to get your bye in the main event, as well as earn an awesome playmat to show you've got what it takes to become the next Real State Champion of Idaho!


We want to thank ABU for their participation in this event, as well as all of the players who came out to show their support. Earning his bye and putting them one step closer to the $500 first place prize of the championship event was Ben Summers, playing Mardu Vehicles. He squared off against Rob Van Nostrad on UW Control to conclude what was a great top eight. Congratulations Ben!


With ABU's event in the books, there are only two chances left to play a trial where the winner will earn a bye in the main event July 22-23, a trial championship winner playmat, a five dollar off voucher for the main event (awarded to everyone in top 8) and some great prize support! These events will be held at All About Games in Boise and the Friday before the main event at the location of the Real State Championships: The Gem State Gaming Convention.

June 3: Enclave 
June 10: Phoenix Fire
June 17: Goliath Games
June 17: Goblin Town Games (Pocatello)
June 23: Beckmon's (Twin Falls)
June 24: Black Dragon (Twin Falls)
July 1: ABU Games
July 7 or 8: Hour of Devastation Prerelease

The finals match in this event was between Mardu Vehicles and UW Control. This is a huge variant to what we have been seeing in the last few events, showing that standard is a very diverse format. Every deck seems viable right now and we are excited to see so much diversity as our series of trials begins to come to a close. 


Let's take a look at what deck Ben Summers played to take down the event at ABU Games last weekend:

Ben Summers - 1st Place
Mardu Vehicles aka Garbage Heap

Thank you to all who have come out to support these events so far, we look forward to finding the Real Idaho State Champion!!
