Hey,
This coming weekend at Fun Express will be a special time in gaming, as we once again have the distinguished pleasure of bringing our gamers another fantastic Magic: TG Prerelease Event! Alara Reborn in all its multi-color glory has finally arrived as the latest and final expansion of the incredibly sharded Alara Block. With color combinations that would make any 5C player’s head spontaneously burst, you will have the opportunity to join us at Fun Express this Saturday (4/25) at 12pm (noon) for a phenomenal sealed deck experience! Entry is $25, and each participant will receive 3 Shards of Alara, and 3 Alara Reborn booster packs to build a deck with. Beyond the sealed event, drafts utilizing the new ACR format (Alara, Conflux, Reborn) will be running all day. The first draft, beginning at 2pm, will start shortly after the main sealed event. Another draft will start at the usual Saturday time of 7PM. Entry fees for each of the drafts are $12, and as stated above you will receive one of each the Alara Block boosters to draft with. From what I’ve seen of the set this is not something to miss out on, and anytime there is new Magic you’ve got to be there. I’ll see you Saturday!
Mourn not Yu-Gi-Oh! players, as Saturday’s got love for the duelists as well. The classic and always fun Yu-Gi-Oh! Advanced Constructed $7 Event will be starting at the usual 4:30pm. With such a vast card pool available to duelists in this format, tournaments such as these are great for testing new archetypes and can become invaluable for players looking to cook up something new.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT! – Yu-Gi-Oh! Raging Battle Sneak Peek is going off on May 2nd, 2009 at 12:00PM! Entry is only $20 and includes 5 packs for the sealed deck! An exclusive promo limited to the first 36 players will be awarded plus additional packs, promos, deck boxes, and a playmat will go to the top places and random door prizes! You do not want to miss it! There will be additional packs for drafts if there are boosters left after the initial sneak peek!!!
Anyway, other than the above, there’s not much else to say. New MTG boosters will not be available for sale until the actual release on April 30th, so this weekend is an opportunity to get these new cards a full week in advance!
See you all this weekend!
Signing off,
Colin
