Over the weekend of August 7th and 8th, players gathered at Nostalgic in Billund to embark on an epic quest. From the quiet lanes of The Shire to the fiery depths beneath The Lonely Mountain, our local community stepped up to battle for the treasures of Erebor in Magic: The Gathering’s newest expansion, The Hobbit!
With prerelease packs opened, spin-down dice rolling, and 40-card Sealed decks forged, the atmosphere across both sessions was packed with fierce competition and great sportsmanship.
🏆 Weekend Highlight: The Ultimate Double Victory!
A special crown goes to Kristoffer Jensen, who pulled off a remarkable back-to-back victory!
After battling through a massive 37-player field on Friday night to capture 1st place, Kristoffer returned on Saturday and ran through the competition undefeated (4-0) with a flawless 100% Game Win Rate! Massive congratulations to Kristoffer for taking down both events in historic fashion!
