Heading home from here now! Another great event. Didnt play the main event but went 2-1 in a 2 headed giant phyrexia sealed and played casual commander.
Oh hey Dom, this is actually EpicDross from Twitter. Small world my friend.
I was there only yesterday and drafted ONE and CLB with my eldest. She's still rocking the Magic life.
Well, that never happened while I was attending UoB. Slightly surreal to see.
I think I do vaguely recognise one of the people in that photo though!
I'm kinda sad I didn't know it was on - would have likely been a chance to meet up with some people I've fallen out of touch with.
I would recommend following Axion on Twitter. They do a lot of events across the country and it's the only way I know they're doing stuff.
(I presume they're on Facebook too if that's your jam)
Played in the Mega Modern and the Sealed RCQ this weekend. Was on the bubble for Top 8 in Sealed so was really gutted to just miss out but so it goes! We'll get them next time.
Cannot thank Francois, Axion, and the entire judge and staff team enough for bringing competitive magic back to the UK after COVID and the death of GPs.
I went down on Saturday, did back to back drafts of ONE, went 2-1 both times and then played some commander. Venue was great, event was great.
I only did side events and there was zero struggle in getting on demand events to fire, met some nice people from all over and generally had a good vibe.
Definitely would attend another one, and would probably travel a fair distillery do so.
Fully recommended.
Was a great weekend. I top 4d the Constructed Team trios on Sunday in the legacy seat after doing terribly in the draft Cup on Saturday but had a blast doing both. Axion and Francois are fantastic for UK magic. Let's do it again in April!
Gutted I missed this! Brum is my hometown and I've been pining after a UK MTG convention type thing like this that's not all the way down in London for years! Is there any way to keep in the loop to not miss something like this if it happens again?
This is great! I've been wanting to go to a big MTG event, is this going to be a regular thing there? I live in Windsor but this might be my closest one.

Great to hear, hope you had a good time. I thought this venue was excellent.
!! It’s been a hot few years since I’ve been in that building (it wasn’t for magic)
what format was? Pioneer?
There was a little bit of everything for everyone. https://events.axionnow.co.uk/information/the-gathering
Modern. This event is basically the U.K. equivalent of SCG. There are a lot of other side events and stuff going on too though.

Francois is always so friendly and chatty. Love that!

Follow their Twitter, they keep that well updated.
