God bless the good people at Wizards of the Coast (WOTC)!
We were fortunate enough to be able to sign up for and host Magic Celebration!
Magic Celebration is a FREE event in which we will host a Mini Master (also known as Pack War)Â tournament! Each entrant is given one FREE booster of Magic 2012 and 3 of each Basic Land (which I will provide for you) which they use to make their deck. Each time a player wins a Match (not each time a player wins a game), I will give them another Magic 2012 booster pack!
We only have a few more open spots left in our first event, but I would like to run as many as of these as possible on Saturday.
1. Format:
*FREE to enter
*Mini Master: Sealed Magic 2012
*4 Rounds Of Swiss Style play (where players are paired up randomly in round one, and then paired up against other players who have the same amount of points)
*Each Round Is Best 2 Out Of 3 and 50 Minutes Long
- When time runs out, 5 additional turns will be given starting with the active player
- If time runs out and neither player is able to defeat the other:
- If this was the 2nd game, then the player that won the first game, wins the Match
- If this was the 3rd game, the Match ends in a draw
2. Deck Construction:
*At the start of the event, each player will be given one booster of Magic 2012 and three of each Basic Land (Island, Mountain, Swamp, Plains, Forest) which will be their deck. No changes will be permitted at this point. So: 1 pack + 3 of each Basic Land = Deck
* Whenever a player wins a Match, they will be awarded one FREE Magic 2012 booster, at which time, they will be given 10 minutes to make changes to their deck. They may add/remove Basic Lands (which I will provide) so that their new deck must be at least 40 cards minimum.
3. Prizes:
*2 separate Magic 2012 boosters will be awarded at Random at the end of the event
*Also have several online keys for Xbox 360, PS3 and Steam(?) that give item special Duels Of The Planewalkers items.Â
4. Additional Flights:
*We have a total of 216 packs to give out, so I would like to use that to run as many events as possible. If all things remain constant, we should have at least 32 people on Saturday at 1 PM and hopefully we will be able to run 2 of these events (not necessarily in the same day- depends on attendence)
5. Future Events:
