Friday Night Magic - Granville St.

Format: Booster Draft

Draft price of $15.00. ($5 if you bring your own packs.)  We put one booster pack into the prize pool for each person in the draft.

  • 1st place: Foil prize card, 70% of prize pool (approximate)
  • 2nd place: Foil prize  card, 30% of prize pool (approximate)
  • 2 randmon door prizes of foil prize cards

NOTE: If we have 14 or more people in the draft, we will split into 2 pods with prize split for the top 2 in each pod.

If you're not sure how to draft, come in early or on another day and we'll be happy to explain it to you.  In a nutshell - you get 3 booster packs, open your pack, pick a card, and pass it to the person next to you.  You continue picking and passing until you have 45 cards which you keep.  You build a minimum 40 card deck from the cards you selected - the store provides the basic lands (please remember to return them at the end of the night).  Then we play a small tournament to determine the winner.

These are DCI sanctioned events.  Straight swiss - no cut.

Start: 7:00 pm
End: 10:00 pm

Magic the Gathering - Standard

We didn't get it organized in time to get official FNM's, but these will be sanctioned events with foil cards and booster pack prizes for top 2 or 4 players.  Exact price and prize support to be determined. Event will be 3 or 4 rounds depending on turnout, straight swiss, no cut.

If you're not sure what all that means - don't worry about it.  Just bring a legal 60 card deck and prepare to have some fun.  If you're not sure what constitutes a legal deck, here is a link to the Wizards of the Coast web-site.

We have an official Pokemon League - come join us for some Pokemon fun.

This month we are using the unlimited format - meaning you can use cards from any Pokemon set.  Bring your own 60 card deck containing any amount of basic energy cards and up to 4 copies each of any other card from any set.  (We have pre-constructed decks for sale in the store if you don't have a deck.) Play different opponents and earn points - 10 points per game with 10 bonus points if you win. Earn enough points to get prizes! This is casual / league play - it is not a sanctioned tournament and will not earn you any ratings points.  For more information on league play - please refer to the Pokemon-TCG web-site.

Entry fee: Free!!!

Prizes: Based on your point totals - the more you play, the more you get. For example at 110 points you earn a special 2-3 card booster pack. You don't have to get all 110 points on the same day - come back each week and keep adding to your point total.

League play on Sunday from approximately Noon till 3:00pm.  League play is casual - you can arrive late, get in a few games and leave early if needed.  Most players tend to show up around 1pm.  Due to other events starting on Sunday afternoon around 4pm, we ask players to make room if needed (i.e., if you are still playing when the other event is supposed to start - please allow the other game to begin).

Start: 3:00 pm
End: 6:30 pm

Pokemon Booster Draft

We will draft Platinum if we have enough, or if not, the most current set that we
have enough packs of (I will have enough Platinum barring any
circumstances beyond my control).

Price: $15

If you're not
sure how to draft come in a bit early and we will go through it with
you.  Players keep all the cards they draft so you are at least
guaranteed to get 3 packs worth of new cards.

Prizes:
We will put booster packs into the prize pools depending on the number
of players in the event in each bracket, and packs will be awarded to
the top players in each age bracket: Juniors (born in 1998 or later),
Senior (born in 94 - 97), or Master (born in 93 or earlier).

Casual World of Warcraft TCG Night!

ghost kitty

Format: Open Gaming, Raids, Two-Headed Ogres, constructed Gurubashi Grand Melees, Trading and other shinnanigans.

The idea: WoW is actually a lot of fun to play casually since it has a lot of fantasy elements and adventuring elements in it. In that vein We've set up an evening (with new later hours) where you can come and play for fun instead of standings. Bring down a min 60 card deck . Theme Decks and Raid decks are definetely the way to go so bring on that Stalling/Control//Healer because Rida's Paladin could use some help.

Price: Free admittance (Sealed events not withstanding)

Check out our Forums here for more information and to meet the other players.

Start: 5:00 pm
End: 9:00 pm

Bring in your favourite game, or play one of the dozens of games we have open in the store.

Come alone - it's a great way to meet new people, or bring your friends. It's cheaper than going out to the movies! It's better than staying home - you don't have to clean up afterwards! Don't worry if you can't show up right at 5pm, new games start whenever we get enough interested people, and we have space for lots of games at the same time.
