New rule for Shards of Alara Release!

Some of the keen eyed players may have noticed this bit of information floating around on the internet recently...

"Tournament Structure/Format: [for Shards release Sealed]
(basics about building a sealed deck (a tourney deck and three boosters) followed by...) Players must choose one of the five Shards and construct a deck using cards that share the same colors of the Shard chosen."


Once you remove the jargon from it, it states that each player (upon receiving their sealed deck) must choose one of the Shards (3 colour alliances) of Alara and can only play cards represented by those colours.

So no four colour decks, no funny splashes; just do what Wizards tells you to.

I'm personally miffed, however I'd like to know what you folks think. Fun wrinkle, or yet another terrible decision by Wizards?

--

Post-script: allegedly the release will also feature special "super" lands which tap for 3 different colours of mana related to your shard. No mana screw here, I suppose.

This particular rumour I'll only believe once I see it. (As opposed to the deck building limitations, which Wizards has press-released)

September FNMs!

September 5th – Standard!

September 12th – Draft!

September 19th – Standard!

September 26th – Draft!




Afterdrafts will occur on demand.


Please also remember that Shards of Alara is creeping up on us. Pre-order soon to make sure we have everything you want the second the set is released!

Free RPG Day 2008

Our first Free RPG Day was a great success! I didn't know what to expect so soon after D&D Day, but we had a lot of repeat customers from that day.

Many people took advantage of the great RPG sales we had on during the day, making them 50% of our sales for the day!

July -- Magic and stuff!

After an interesting mixup with Wizards, it looks like our FNMs are back on track! Here are all the magic dates for July -- and the July FNM card is Wall of Roots. Zomg!

July 18 -- Draft
July 25 -- Standard

More information regarding the release party will be made available shortly~

Kick-Ass #1 I didn't think I would like any comic with this title, but I was wrong. I quite enjoyed it! Written by Mike Millar, it's about a boy and his dream to be a superhero. It kicks *ss!

Rasl #1 A new title by Jeff Smith! An action packed story about a time/dimension jumping thief.
