As part of the nationwide celebration of the first decade of Magic: The Gathering, Ground Zero participated in the 10th Aniversary Global Celebration Tournament. Each player received five packs of the brand new, redesigned Eighth Edition cards and had to assemble decks from those cards only.

Players spent 40 minutes preparing their decks and then began play. Some of the usual power players had off days, which opened the door for some new faces in the finals. Jeff Green and Randall Giles, familiar faces in tournament finals, faced Richard Vogel and Jimmy Rogers. In the end, Richard Vogel beat Randall Giles to take First Place. Before this tournament, Richard had never made it into the finals, but for the 10th Anniversary Celebration Tournament he went undefeated in matches, losing only one game all day. His red and black deck was not overpowering, but worked more consisely than the decks that it faced.

Final Results:
1. Richard Vogel
2. Randall Giles
3. Jimmy Rogers

5. Phillip Shoemaker
6. Justin Malone
7. Mikey Burnham
