Month: January 2010

10. The People!

Maybe I m just a little biased, but I think the people that come in and play in our events are the best! Take a bow you guys!

9. New Cards!

I ve said it before and I ll say it again. WOTC will eventually take over the world if they continue with their current track record of truly great Magic expansions!

 8. Open Dueling!

For $14 per Intro Deck or $65 for all 5 decks, you can play non-sanctioned games for fun! Each intro deck comes with a Worldwake booster pack inside!

7.  Trading!

Everyone knows to bring to bring traders to a pre-release!

6. XBOX 360!

Bring your game face and between rounds you re welcome to play multiplayer 360! We have Halo 3 and Left 4 Dead 2!

 

5. Worldwake Preorders!

4. Sanctioned Booster Drafts at 4 PM, 6 PM, and 8 PM!

3. 2HG at 10 AM!

2. “Comet Storm”

1. Meatballs!

During the warmer months, we serve up hotdogs and burgers at our pre-releases. SInce itès too cold to BBQ, we re cooking up Ikea meatball sandwichs! Free to all paid entrants!

 

Two-Headed Giant (noun): aka “2HG” 1. Weird looking claymation monster that tried and failed to kill Jason and the Argonauts. 2. Ultra-cool, amazing, incredible, fantastic, uncanny (you get the picture) format, where two players work as a team to defeat two other players working as a team. Each team of two players share 30 and have communal phases- which means they untap at the same time, draw at the same time and attack at the same time.

 Haven’t tried 2HG? The best time to play in this format is at a Pre-Release and just as luck would have it- we’re having two Pre-Releases and two 2HG events! 2HG starts at 10 AM on Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 10 AM and on Sunday, January 31, 2010 at 10 AM! Make sure you sign up early!

$50 per team to enter. Each team receives 8 packs (4 Worldwake and 4 Zendikar) and must make two decks of minimum 40 cards each.

 Please feel free to call if you have any questions!
