Upcoming Magic the Gathering Events; June & July

We still have a fairly thriving group of League Players, building Alara Block decks and playing casual one-off games anytime for the Conflux promo cards Hellspark Elemental and Path to Exile. This league is free and will continue until we run out of cards, or the Arara Reborn Kit arrives! These are not DCI sanctioned matches and the focus is far more on cool themes and easy-going play. Lots of new players playing lots of matches.

Every Saturday we've been running booster drafts by popular demand. $10 gets you three boosters, no additional prizes & redrafting rares & uncommons at the end of the tournament. If we get 8+ people, it's DCI sanctioned

Currently, the first Friday of every month is Friday Night Magic. Standard Format. DCI Sanctioned. No fee with special FNM promo cards for the top 4. With the light prize support, this also a fairly easy-going event, but a lot of the decks are far from push-overs.

And for the big stuff:

PRE-RELEASE Magic 2010 (M10): Saturday July 11th, 1pm to about 6pm with likely a multiplayer game or two afterwards. In celebration of the new set, we'll be running a sealed event with 100% M10. $25 gets you six packs, plus all sorts of promo cards. Prizes will be booster packs & more promo loot, with everyone who plays at least three rounds automatically getting one booster pack.

OFFICIAL RELEASE Launch Party Magic 2010 (M10): Saturday July 17th, 1pm to about 6pm. Unless I get alternate info from WotC, this will be very similar to the Pre-release. 100% M10. $25 gets you six packs, plus all sorts of promo cards. Prizes will be booster packs & more promo loot, with everyone who plays at least three rounds automatically getting one booster pack. Unlike last release, rather than a whole booster display to first place, we'll spread prizes out a little more.
