I’ve been going through the UnCon events page looking for something worth attending and a few have certainly caught my eye. There’s some fun contests along with some very interesting chats. I haven’t played M:tG for a few years now, but a few of those events sound like something I’d have attended if I was still in the loop.
I doubt I’ll be able to sit in on all of these, but I’d like to squeeze them into my schedule if I can. All times listed are eastern time.
