August Magic Events

Hey everybody, here's a list of the Magic events I have planned for the month of August:

Saturday, August 14 @ 8 PM: Freshman Orientation Open Game Night - Free Casual Play

Come support Magic and other FITSSFF activities by attending Open Game Night! We will have tables available for casual Magic play as well as many other board games and video games. Come welcome the new freshmen to FIT and have fun playing casual 1-on-1 and multiplayer matches!

Weekend of August 21-22: M11 Draft #2 - $12

Most people agree that Magic 2011 is one of the most exciting core sets in Magic history. Come play some limited and get the opportunity to jumpstart your collection of the new set on the first weekend of the semester! Everyone will receive 3 packs to draft, plus at least 1 prize pack regardless of performance.

Weekend of August 28-29: $5 Constructed - Standard

The last weekend of each month will be a $5 constructed event. We'll start off with Standard, which, with the release of M11, is more open now than it has been in a long time. The Standard format includes the following:

- Alara Block: Shards of Alara, Conflux, and Alara Reborn
- Zendikar Block: Zendikar, Worldwake, and Rise of the Eldrazi
- Core Sets: Magic 2010 and Magic 2011

All participants will receive at least 1 Magic 2011 booster pack regardless of performance.

The exact date and time of the draft and standard events will be announced at a later time. Let me know if there are times when you know you will and/or won't be available on these weekends and I will try my best to accommodate you. Email me at valkyrio71@gmail.com if you have any questions, comments, or concerns.

  1. we should have an EDH tourney/league, or a T2 fitssff league starting with a sealed event and each draft/event adds to your deck.

  2. Hey Glen,

    I have an EDH event planned for later in the semester. If it does really well we can look into doing it more often. I'm working on an EDH deck right now myself, it seems like a fun format.

    I never thought of doing a cumulative limited event, but it actually seems like it could be a lot of fun. If we can get enough people interested I'd definitely be willing to give it a shot.
