Hi
there....
GREAT site, the Harry Potter part is as in-depth as any (sadly a rare breed
*sniff*) and with a TON of info for even a casual reader! Enough of the buttering
up and although we've known Pojo for a long time, we have never seen the Harry
Potter part until now.... don’t ask us how THAT happened...
This is actually a 13-year-old [...the store, not me] retailer in
Mississauga, Canada (just outside of Toronto) and we host (as one of the few
still, I think) HARRY POTTER tournaments every week [...if you can believe it,
Saturday of all days :] in our store as we have since the release of the game.
My name is
Todd and the store is Image Collections. We don't yet have a website
(soon we'll wake up and smell the 1990s coffee) although we ARE listed at
wizards.com, score.com, wizkids.com diamondcomics.com, the
comicshoplocatorservice and many other sites, as well as in the telephone book.
We thought
you might be interested in our tournament results as we've had anywhere from 3
to 19 players participate over the years and lately it has been building
again. The Tournament Report here (below) is the latest I have as I take
my (lazy) time 'pizzazing' them up even though I can say that Brian's
unbeatable deck went down in flames this past Sat (March 22nd) and the streak
is over. I will try to get a copy of the contents of his deck next week
if you are interested.
We have
created multi-player games as well. We REALLY like the game and its
possibilities and everyone here is sad to see it going out of print. We
have put together a group called the 'Harry Potter Deckcrashers' who's goal is
the continuation of the game and the conversion (willingly or not) of other
cardfloppers and, ...well, why stop there, ...the rest of the world as well...
Hope we can help you out. Thanks for reading, and
thanks also for all the 'rittin' and 'rithmatic that goes into powering up such
a wonderful website,
Todd Mara, (comics@iprimus.ca)

In the
barren depths of a long-lasting Canadian winter, Stone-Cold BRIAN P (...as he's
now coming to be know as) continued his fantastic, and now record-setting, pace
as he took the March 8th Harry Potter POTTERMANIA tournament at Image and
remained undefeated in the last 4 weeks!
With his now famous Lesson-Killing Deck Brian remained at the top of the heap,
this week that meant THE BEST OF THE BEST of 12 players...
Rounding out the TOP 5 were heavyweights MATT P, COREY R, LEE T, and STEPHANIE
F who went 9-2 after only just learning to play last week! It surely IS a easy
game to master!
New players this week included SHANE Z and HASSIR A, both ending with
respectable W-L records.
BRAIN P's current run has him a 4-TIME defending champ (12 times overall) and
now a remarkable 52-0! (that 0 also stand for the temperatures outside near
Toronto (and Mississauga) these past days....and YES, that’s Fahrenheit for our
American friends [-30 C. approx])
NOTES...
---BRIAN P is continuing to set a new IMAGE record that formerly was held by
LEE T, who shut out foes for 21 games in a row back in 2001!
---CONNOR, a relative new player (also relatively new to the world at only 5
years old!!!) almost won his 1st game, against BRIAN P remarkably enough, but
the big meanie Brian made a last minute comeback and when reached later for
comment said something resembling "the streak, the streak"...sure
Brian, sure Brian (you confidence-crusher you!)
