Lorwyn Pre-Release Invitational Qualifiers

We will be holding three qualifying tournaments in the coming weeks for the Lorwyn Pre-Release Invitational.

These tournaments will be our Xth edition draft on Friday August 31st (falling back to the draft on Thursday September 6th if necessary), our Standard FNM on Friday September 7th and our Timespiral block draft FNM on Friday September 14th.
Aside from having a slightly more stringent application of the rules to respect the greater prize available, the tournaments will be run like normal.

At each event, the winner will receive an invitation to the tournament. If the player already has an invite, the invite will be passed down to the next highest finisher. If the player doesn't want the invite, they may give it to any other individual. (And are strongly encouraged to do this, so we can send as many players as possible.)

Lorwyn Pre-Release Invitational Championship

The Invitational Championship will be held in Toronto on Sunday September 29th. The event will be run by Skyfox games, and there will be no entry fee to participate.

The tournament will be Lorwyn sealed deck, and there is very extensive prize support.

All members of the top 8 receive a limited edition play-mat, as well as the following prizes --

1st place -- 3 boxes of Lorwyn and free admission to all Skyfox Premier Events for a year! (estimated at $200 value!)

2nd place -- 1 box of Lorwyn

3rd/4th place -- 1/2 a box of Lorwyn

5th-8th place -- 1/4 a box of Lorwyn

(Prizes based on attendance of at least 64 players)

Notes:

All events start between 6 and 6:15 pm in the l.a. mood underground. However, if you need boosters for an event that's not on Friday, show up early, because l.a. mood closes at 6pm sharp.

If Thursday isn't a good day for you, let me know what is. I want to run two events a week, FNM plus some other day, so I need to know what makes people happy.

We have FNM prizes for September! They're incredibly sexy foil Wing Shards.

Due to high demand, as early as August 31st I will have a supply of boosters available in the basement. If there is any interest, I am willing to run unsanctioned booster drafts (team drafts or pods, depending on the number of players) after our usual FNM event. Please bring 10 dollars per bonus event you would like to play in. Please note that the entrance cost for FNM drafts remains the same, the extra low price of the bonus drafts is a small reward for the hard-core players who stick it out for multiple events!

Meet the Heralds of Galactus!

The first of a series of tournaments to gain control of Galactus and his Heralds.

Let me show you how it's done!

The measure of a man:

Me and my Silver Surfer!

Just for laughs.....We just got a collection of Dells, Charltons, and Archies from the 50's, 60's and 70's and here is some of the advertising inside!

From Blondie vol 4 #194 an early ad with uncredited Arnold Schwarzenegger appearance. "Your manhood and virility "comes alive" and across swiftly to women-they instantly sense your sexual power and want to be in your arms!"

Oh my.


Not enough? Try this Life-Size Inflatable doll, this ad appears in Tiger vol 1 #4, 1970! " Hi I'm Judy, the Life-Size inflatable London doll made with startling detail....Just add air and instantly I become a 5'4" beauty who wears size 8 clothes. Take me along, or to a party, boating or swimming (I float)....Your (sic) bound to find hundreds of exciting and unusual uses for me."

I bet.

Not sexy enough, how about some violence! I found this ad in Archie vol 1 # 103, 1959. An "Exploding Army Hand Grenade, Exact Replica, only $1.00......It's completely harmless, but the explosion it makes can be heard for a block. Really scatters the gang when you throw this baby in their midst."

Uh huh.

Or this from SwampThing vol 2 #6, 1973, back cover. "Getting A Daisy BB Gun is like getting a good grade. You have to work for it....what kind of boy is ready for his Daisy? You can telll by the way he handles other things. Like school work, and jobs around the house. He knows how to take serious things seriously....Daisy since 1886, The BB Gun every boy dreams about. "

Seriously.
