Friday Night Magic Cancelled!
Sorry folks, but FNM is cancelled due to the snowstorm. Since the London Transit is shut down for today, Johnathon can't make it in. So the Draft will be next Friday instead, December 15th.
In the mean time, L.A. Mood's is still open, but will probably close early instead of at 8PM today. City Lights and Forest City Coin are also open right now. But it is best to call ahead to make sure before venturing out today. Shoppers Drug Mart is open, but the Scotiabank and the Market is closed. The sidewalks are plowed on Richmond from York to Dundas but not north of Dundas. The streets are looking better, but drivers watch out for pedestrians; many are walking on the street because not all the sidewalks are done yet.
Take care out there and happy snow day!

Merry Christmas from all the staff of L.A.Mood's!!!!We are not looking forward to our annual inventory! So to make our job easier we've decided to mark down the prices NOW of some of the older stuff gathering dust in the corners! Get rid of them now, so we don't have to count them! We marked down trade-paperbacks, and that includes manga, D20 games, toys (Buffy, DC Direct, NBA to name a few), and board games (someone bought 6 games an hour after it had been discounted!) There are some really good deals for the smart shopper!
Also currently we have a 20% off sale on all back issues, 25%off all in stock DVD's and 50% off all manga (not including pre-orders).
Don't forget our final 15th Anniversary Sale! What crazy things do we have planned for December 15th? Well, I am not going to tell you yet ;) You will just have to stay tuned to this blog!!!
FNM This Week
Wooo.... what a week. Last Sunday was the showdown between Worlds Away, L.A. Moods, and The Western Magic Club.

In second came Team Worlds Away, with some Impressive Victories form players the likes of Wojo, and Mark. But alas, Team L.A. Moods came in Last with a "good Try team".
Hopefully this is the First of may crossover Tournaments to come.

Marvel's Editoral & Business Sense??
Those who are regulars at the store and talk comics with me, know that I sometimes have very concerned thoughts about Marvel's editoral and Business sense as of the last year or so.
well in this review of X-Men Phoenix Warsong #3 at the X-Axis website, kinda sums up how I feel. Click on the link Here
Let me know your thoughts either in the comments section or at the store.

FNM AND ITS CRAZYNESS!!
Timespirl saw its first standard in the underground this week with some surprising turnout. Lots of good deck saw play, but combo seemed to dominate the night as Paul Dobbs came out with a 4 - 0 win for first place, Leaving Larry and I in his trails.
As for right now, I'm still waiting to see if the DCI will get back to me with sanctioning info for november. Regardless of what happens, we are going to play another attack of Standard for the first FNM of November. So bring your decks and prepare for a big beat down!

Friday Night Magic: GOODBYE KAMIGAWA!
This week was the final type 2 tourny with the Infamous KAMIGAWA BLOCK. That means no more jittes or Kokusho's or even Heartbeat. YAY ! Nows the time to make way for Time Spiral. Already the forums are buzzing with activity try to peice together the Next Big Standard Deck. So far I think combo will be the way to go. Easy to pull off combos with Enduring Renewal, Wild Cantor and Grapeshot have already shown me a thing or two. Although Agrro may just get the boost it needs to be a major contendor. All will be revealed soon. This week we have a Sealed Event. That means 1 Tournament Pack of Time Spiral, and 2 boosters of any Type 2 you want. Why do i say any. Well seeing as it is the first time Time Spiral will be played in type 2, I thought it might be a great idea to let players see what works best with Time Spiral. As for me, I'll be playing Stright Time Spiral, "Gotta get those Blooms!"

Friday Night Magic !! and Timespiral !!
The Oct 6th Friday Night Magic saw the first Draft of the new set Timespiral, and WOW was ever a draft. Almost none of the players had seen any of the cards before they cracked their first booster, which made for a very intresting event. With timespiral becoming legal as of the 20th of october, the draft was a peek into the future to come. With power cards like Magus of the Disk and Ancestral Visions, Timespiral is sure to shake up Standard play like no set has in years. The Timeshifted cards may be as powerful in Standard as the new set itself. With the printing of Bad Moon and Undead Warchief, you can be sure to see the return of Mono-Black decks.
Speaking of October 20th, We have a Sealed Deck tourny for our FNM. This will Include Timespiral. In fact the by in will be 1 Tournament pack of Timespiral and 2 boosters of your choice from the Ravnica Block.
As for next Friday, Its Standard. So show up and play for a chance to win a FNM Arrogant Wurm!
