2 packs will be added to the prize pool for each competitor. Prizes awarded to top 8.


Scars of Mirrodin has arrived and will pave the way for a creative deck-building period as Shards of Alara block rotates from Standard taking M10 along with it in its departure. With all these crazy new artifacts and new mechanics like infect and proliferate, what novel archetypes will rise to the top of the tournament standings? Only time will tell...
The FNM foil for October is Rift Bolt. A powerful tool in the hands of any burn or storm combo player. Again, battle with standard or draft at FNM this month to add this gem to your available grimoire. Please note that there will not be a draft on Friday, October 22nd for FNM. I will be attending Grand Prix Toronto that weekend and will have a stand-in to host the Standard FNM that night.
Finally, come and battle for loot and plunder (or tricks and treats?) at the Scars of Mirrodin Gameday event on Sunday, October 31st. Those in costume will pay a reduced entry fee and I'm sure that I will have some other tricks up my sleeve (and goodies!) to reward our intrepid Halloween revelers.

That's all this time folks,

Jeyo
