Montreal is a fantastic city. There are lots of interesting things to see, do, and experience around every corner. The city is a first rate city right up there on the world stage and when the latest GP descended on Montreal I knew I had to attend. Here was an opportunity to experience something new, something unique, something truly special in a special city and I was going to be darned if I missed it.
I really had no intention of playing in the main event the side events appealed just as much but I wanted to witness the mass of humanity gathering to play Magic.
My first impression of the location was full out awe. The room seemed to be wall to wall people paired off and ready to play Magic. There were pros and Magic personalities that I recognized from a range of spots and they were rubbing elbows with regular players just there for the day.
The organization of this many people must have been astronomical. I give kudos to everyone for the monumental task and I was very glad to see the event kick off because I was anxious to play on some of the side events. Once I got my fill of the spectacle I turned my attention to the side events.
My friends and I opted for the 10am sealed side event, which seemed like a solid idea. So, we signed up and then we waited. My sealed pool seemed solid to me with some really top notch cards like Anger of the Gods , Courser of Kruphix , Soldier of the Pantheon and Temple of Plenty.
