Hundreds of players travelled across the city, state, country and even the world to attend the first Tales of Aria sealed and draft format Calling in Dallas Fort-Worth, USA today. 502 players were registered for this limited format event and the hall was bustling all day long with the excitement of catching up with friends both new and old, trading cards and of course, playing in The Calling.
Rounds 1-7 were sealed deck format. The 502 players sat down with their six packs of First edition Tales of Aria, built their deck from the pool of cards, decided if they would play as Briar, Lexi or Oldhim and played seven 30 minute, best of one game rounds. Round 8 saw the field be narrowed down to the top 64 players. They then sat in pods of 8 people and drafted Tales of Aria to build 30 card (minimum) decks.
Once the drafting was done, the players played rounds 8, 9 and 10 with these decks before going back to the event hall bright and early in the morning for Day 2 where they will draft again and play the final three swiss rounds with that deck. Then it's one final draft for the Top 8 players before they play the elimination rounds, a Gold Cold Foil Fyendal's Spring Tunic is given, a champion is crowned and a trophy is raised!
We saw a reprise of the brilliant casting team from the recent Calling Las Vegas of Tannon Grace, Red Zone Rogue and DM Armada who effortlessly informed and entertained the audience in between lasagna and Ball Lightnings.
The vendors were out in force too, ensuring all players and fans in attendance haad a chance to pick up and cards or last minute accessories. Yeti Gaming, Stomping Ground, My 4 Sons, MinMax Games, Magnolia Gaming, Game Grid Live and ChannelFireball all made appearances, being the merchant heroes for the weekend.
With the Classic Constructed ProQuest tomorrow, many eyes will be on the event to catch a glimpse of what the new metagame could look like. Sunday will also see a range of side events and of course, the main event which will start off with another draft followed by three games and finally the Top 8!
