     Well, unfortunately, there is not a whole lot to tell you about the new
7th Edition environment this early in the run.  We had 20 people participate
in this event.  There was a significant amount fo Blue in the environment. 
However, there were not a a lot of standard control decks.  There were a
couple of blue/black control decks and only two blue/white control decks. 
There were a few Blue Skies decks, which everyone figured would be around. 
Fires was still a dominant force and even Counter-Rebels popped it's head up.

    There are still alot of unexplored decks.  Our next event on May 19th is
predicted to be fairly large size and several people are going to be coming
in with new decks.  There were several discussions.  We had to take Shawn
Reimund's sideboard away during the first round because he had in Chill.  He
was unaware of the change.  Not a big deal as Shawn still managed to make it
to the Top 4 without a sideboard.  Well the decklists and pairings are below.
 The field is still wide open and most games finished quickly, so the
environment is not as slow as people predicted it would be just yet.
