It never ceases to amaze me how popular Magic: The Gathering is.

Just this past holiday season, we’ve seen an influx of new players and now those former n00bs are ready to kick some butt!

Be there on Saturday, Feb 27 at 1 PM- Register Early!

1. Format:

*3 Rounds Of Swiss-Style Play (“Swiss” = everyone is guaranteed to play at least 3 games, it isn’t an “Elimination” format)

*Each Round Is 50 Minutes Long And Best 2 Out Of 3 (If The Time Limit Is Reached, 5 Additionaly Turns Will Be Given, Starting With The Active Player. If There Is No Clear Winner At The End Of The 5 Additional Turns, The Game Will End As Undecided)

*Players May Only Use Cards From Magic 2010, Zendikar, and WorldWake

*Minimum Deck Size Is 60 Cards With A 4 Card Limit

*Players Are Permitted To Access A Sideboard Of 15 Cards Inbetween Games

*No Charge To Play- It’s FREE!

2. Prizes:
*1st Place= 1 Booster Pack Of “Worldwake”

*Random Draw = 1 Booster Pack Of “Worldwake”

*Best Sportsman = 1 Booster Pack Of “Worldwake”

3. Etiquette:

*If you have a question, please raise your hand- do not shout or yell, there are other players trying to concentrate and play their game which would be pretty hard to do if people are shouting.

*I will ask and record results at the end of the round- which means I will come to you and ask for your result. Please do not shout or yell your result (see above), please do not tell me the result when I’m in the bathroom or on the phone or talking to another player- unlike Superman, I can only do one thing at a time.

Any questions? Just drop by or shoot me an e-mail!

Register Early!

“Hammer Of Thor” has breathed new life into HeroClix, the superhero miniatures game formerly made by Wizkids Games- now produced by NECA Games! We had a problem locating more product- a testament to the strength and popularity of the game, but forutnately for us, Morgan still had a case of 10 boosters that he’s willing to use for our sealed booster event!

Yay, Thanks, Morgan!

Also, take a look at the Thor at the top of this posting- it was created by Morgan using an experienced Thor and bits and pieces from 7 other HeroClix figures for the lightning and smoke effects! Nice work, Morgan!

 See you all at our Sealed Booster event on Feb 20, 2010 at 1 PM!
