On February 23, the Horde held their first variant event, opting to give the 2 – Headed Giant format a try. This event took place at the McMenamin’s Broadway Saloon in Portland. Proceeds from this event would go to the Oregon Food Bank.

To give the event more of a casual feel, a few changes were introduced to the format.

First, players were not allowed to build their decks with the “Power-Nine”. Second, no sideboards would be allowed. The final twist for all would be the random selection of teams.

Team Atog vs. Team Rabid Wombat

With 12 players attending, the teams sorted out as follows:

Team Rocket Launcher: Aaron R. & Cam W. (Black Mono & URB)

Team Drain Life: Adam L. & Daniel M (Green Mono & Turbo Fog)

Team Armageddon: Carson B & Casey S. (G/R Zoo & Blue/White)

Team Atog: Chris I & Ben P. (Ermageddon & RUG)

Team Rabid Wombat: Daniel B. & Quinn M. (B/R & Green Mono)

Team Dance of Many: Adam H. & Joseph M. (Red & R/G)

1/2 of Team Drain Life vs 1/2 of Team Dance of Many



After 5 rounds of single elimination matches, Team Rabid Wombat has a generous lead in points and was awarded 1st prize, which was a choice between many Old School cards including beta disenchants, CE Giants, and other cards of value. It seemed appropriate that they chose the CE Giants to celebrate their victory.
