Congratulations to Jack Spendlove, playing Mono-Black Devotion. Jack split in the finals with Battleground Games & Hobbies Online Manager Chris Alexander, whom likewise did battle with Mono-Black Devotion.

 And then, Chris Alexander decided he wanted the Born of the Gods Game Day play mat, after all, defeating Alex Suarez in the finals of Battleground Games & Hobbies Sunday Game Day event. Chris’ “devotion” to his Mono-Black deck proved to much for Alex and his Jund Monsters deck to overcome in three great games of Magic.

Congratulations to the top finishers of each event. In addition, on behalf of the staff here at Battleground Games & Hobbies, we would like to thank everyone that attended our Born of the Gods Game Day events. We greatly appreciate you choosing to hang out with us.
