Upcoming Magic
Just a reminder that this week’s FNM is 2 Headed Giant. If you’d rather draft we have a pod of Modern Masters, and a pod of Return to Ravnica block.
July 13 and 14 are the Pre-Releases of Magic 2014 (M14). The first starts at Midnight Friday. Two more on Saturday at 9AM and 6PM. Two Headed Giant happens at 2PM. Sunday, we have our last two at noon and 6.
Sunday July 14th we’ll be modifying our prize structure. Instead of our usual 1 pack per win, on Sunday we’ll go to 5 rounds and you must have a 3-2 record (or better) to win prize packs. This is an experiment, so vote with your dollars as to which format you want.
Hi I am new to the Magic scene and am really trying to get into it. I have been playing MTGO to get a feel for the rules as well as purchasing some beginner cards. Do you think the pre-release would be a good event for a beginner like myself to come too? I really would like to start coming to weekly FNM’s but am somewhat intimidated considering I am new. Thank you!
We are actually a pretty friendly group. Our pre-releases are very casual and would be a good to see how tournament play works.
If you have a standard deck, feel free to come out for an FNM if you’d like to see it before a bigger event.
Okay sounds good. My deck isn’t very competitive considering I am still trying to learn a lot of the rules. I do have a good grasp on the basics though. Should I call ahead to say I am coming to the pre-release?
You can stop in and pre-pay for the pre-release, and save $5 if you do it this week – or you can wait until the day of the event – there is usually room, but we won’t guarantee it.
