Cream of the Crop


by Grantly

Another year, another Cream City Con. This was the 4th iteration of CCC that I have put together since moving up to Milwaukee. Every year I’ve been able to fit five rounds into five hours, quick and clean.

Your Handsome Host

I did my best to have as many prizes to give away as possible this year. I always make sure there is at least something for each player that comes to play. This year, I got a playmat made for last place and two nice wooden long boxes. Big shout out to the community for donating a bunch of stamped cards, proxies, and playmats.

Jimmy ended up going 5-0 with an Esper Shops deck (so innovative) and took down the tournament. But otherwise there was a good variety of spicy decks. A handful played Juzam, which I haven’t seen in awhile. But my favorite of the weekend was Flint’s Personal Incantation / Greed deck.

Last but not least, the charity we donate to each year is the Special Olympics of Wisconsin. This year we raised a whopping $925! I’d say that is a success and I am proud that so many people came out and donated. Raising money for a good cause is the reason I continue to run this event every summer. Thanks everyone, and see you next time!
