3 days to go!

With only 3 days to go before the fist-ivities commence, it's time to be wrapping up that deck testing.

Final pre-event games at Good Games Thursday night from 6:30. Get along if you can.

For those who can't make it, Randal will be at Good Games on Saturday morning from 10 am to get things rolling with casual play.

And as a final treat, after discussions on the Brisbane Shadowfist list and thanks to the enormous brain of Steve Darlington we've finished printing special Brisbane-themed Feng Shui sites to be used in pods for the Whirlpool of Blood draft on the Sunday morning.

Here's a sneak peek.

Good Games announce prize support

Our hosts for the B & S Brawl, Good Games at Spring Hill, have announced support for one of the lucky tournament winners.

To help promote the game of Shadowfist, B&S Brawl is proud to have a special prize in the "Final Brawl" national titles tournament for the top-ranked player who has only been playing the game less than a year.

Dubbed the "New Recruit", the winner will receive 5 promo cards, a Shadowfist faction button and $50 store credit at Good Games Spring Hill.

This prize is also open to old players who have returned to the game in the last year after an extended period, or occasional players who we haven't seen playing Shadowfist in quite some time, so have a chat to those you know who haven't dusted off their decks in a while and invite them along.

It's confirmed.

 The Sydney players have announced their intention to "school" us at the Brawl.

Eruption of the Underworld; the heavens weep.

Bring it on!
