Magic Prerelease

 

Prerelease events are a very exciting time for Magic players!

Our community comes together to celebrate a new release for our game by using NEW product in a tournament one week before it is released! Get a look at the latest Magic set before anyone else!

What makes our Prerelease events different is: we supply a hot lunch (either hotdogs or meatball sandwiches) and drinks for all of our players! There will also be snacks and candy at all game tables! What better way to spend the day than playing Magic with your friends and food?

New and veteran players are welcome to come and play! Vets will be familiar with our format and rules (posted in the following section) and if you’re new and need help with any of our rules, please send me an email at “info@thundergroundcomics.com” and I’ll do my best to explain everything to you!

Now for the question you’ve been waiting to ask:

“When can I buy as much “Khans Of Tarkir” as I want???”

We will be taking preorders at our Prerelease events and then everyone is welcome to pick up BOOSTERS, FATPACKS, BOXES, and INTRO DECKS (sorry, EVENT DECKS always arrive one month after the Launch) at our Launch (the very next Friday after the  Prerelease)! Please let us know what you’re looking for in advance so we can have it ready for you!

Onto the rules!

Regards,

Roy Kim

 

 

 

Five warrior clans vie for dominance on the field of battle on the plane of Tarkir, where ancient tyrannical dragons have been hunted to extinction.

The time to raise your banner and join the khans is almost here! Will you throw your support behind the scheming Sultai? Perhaps you choose to seek enlightenment with the Jeskai. Maybe you just want to punch bears with the Temur. Whatever your choice, the time to make it draws near.

 

 

OUR HOUSE RULES:

 

1. Results Will Be Recorded At The End Of Each Round:

 

When you finish your game, please remain seated and wait until we can get to you to record your result. Your time here is very important to us and we support you in all of your achievements- all we ask is that you give us a chance to operate our store (answer phone calls, help other customers) during the event. So, please wait until WE ASK YOU for your result.

 

2. No Shouting or Yelling:

 

Please do not shout, other players are trying to concentrate on their games.

 

3. First Round Pairings:

 

We want you to have a great time and meet new people! So, please let us know if you’ve arrived with a group of friends and we will do our best to not have you play them in the First Round of our event. Keep in mind, we will only do this for the First Round, in all other later rounds players will be paired up with an opponent based on their standing
