Today marked the start of the annual Community Cup, where a handful of heroes journey to the great Seattle north to do battle with the evil Wizards of the Coast employees. For the past two years the community has proven victorious in battle, will this year be the year that Wizards finally gets to win?

Today's competitions included Rise of the Eldrazi draft and "Multiball" which was Archenemy on Duels of the Planeswalkers 2012. After the Rise of the Eldrazi drafts, the community leads 69-49!
