Happy New Year and welcome back Magic Players! I've got another month full of Magic events planned so without further ado:

Sunday, January 31'st: Worldwake Prerelease (Sealed Deck)
12pm start ($25.00 entry)

The FNM foil card for January is Tidehollow Sculler. Will this little zombie begin to have more impact on standard come Worldwake? Only time will tell. Speaking of Worldwake, (gotta love dem seques) we will be holding a sealed deck prerelease tournament on Sunday, January 31st at noon. Here's the lowdown:

Time: 11am - 12pm registration
12pm start
Entry Fee: $25.00 per player.
*Format: Zendikar Block Sealed. Players will receive three packs of Zendikar and three packs of Worldwake to build a forty-card deck. Swiss rounds with cut to top 8.
Prizes of Worldwake booster packs to be distributed among top 8 competitors. Prize amounts will be determined by attendance. (2 packs will be added to the total prize pool per entrant in the tournament.)
* Please note that sealed pools have been changed from 2 packs of Zendikar and 4 packs of Worldwake to 3 of each. This change has been made to comply with Wizards of the Coast instructions for Worldwake Prerelease sealed pools. Sorry for the confusion.

Also, for those of you who like to purchase a booster box when a new set is released, keep this in mind: The first 20 people to preorder a box of Worldwake from us (only $125.00 tax incl.) will receive this special promo card when they pick up their box.

Finally, I just wanted to highlight the standard event on Sunday, January 10th at 4:30 pm. Entry is only $5.00 and prizes of store credit are paid out in a 70/30 split between 1st and 2nd place. I will be away through the middle of the month, but stay tuned in February for more of these Sunday events to resume.

Until next time,

Jeyo
