Info on next event

Friday 13.6 Noon: BBQ, Tub and hangs. Evening: Antti40 World Championships and hangs.
BBQ and hot tub at Sloth's yard. Contact Slotherine for address. If the weather sucks, sauna and swimming at the city at this place saunaravintolakuuma.fi/en/home.
Antti40 World Championship + cube and hangs at the city, here savefile.fi
Antti40 is Alpha 40 league rules, but you can either build your deck with all Alpha or Beta or Unlimited or Revised cards. Try to play the cards as they read and keep in mind, Revised Balloon Brigade only gives flying to itself and only some Alpha cards like Oriflamme and Artillery have cheaper mana cost! You can still only use cards printed in Alpha edition, so no CoP: Black, Volcanic Island or silly reprints from Revised.
If people have suggestions on other weird formats they wish to play on Friday at the BBQ party or in the evening, you are free to speak up. For example: Brothers Highlander, Scryings, Alpha to Alliances. Little tournaments on popular demand are easy to run if there is interest. Pick-up games if nothing else. I will for sure have my A40/A40 league or Antti40 deck at the ready all weekend. Same goes for my AAA (Alpha to Alliances Ante).
Saturday 14.6 Fountain of Youth Open III (with original art and frame reprints, IE/CE allowed)
