January Events

We have a good lineup of events scheduled for January, and they're all worth League Points! First, we'll be doing another online Scars of Mirrodin draft event on Tuesday, January 4. Email me to sign up for that. Three days later is a Standard Friday Night Magic event at Wizard's Wall, which hopefully many of you will be back in town for. Both of these events will have modified League Point payouts because not everyone has the chance to make them.

Once the semester starts, we're going to start with a focus on Extended, since that will be the focus of the upcoming PTQ season (PTQ = Pro Tour Qualifier - these are big monthly events in Orlando; if you want more info, ask me about it), plus people are getting tired of opening Scars of Mirrodin because they have most of the stuff they want. The first on-site event of the semester will be Extended on Sunday, January 16 (I won't be available that Saturday).

Strangely, that will also be the last on-site event for January. The next weekend I'll be at the Grand Prix in Atlanta, so there won't be a FITSSFF event. However, this is probably fine, since it lets everyone save their money for Mirrodin Besieged, which is coming out the first week of February. Pre-release events will be held the last week of January at all three local gaming stores, and I'll post more details about that as the time gets closer.

I'm flexible regarding future events, but the general plan is for February to focus on Scars block limited with the release of Mirrodin Besieged, and then to expand into some less conventional formats in March. There will be more polls and such to make sure we get to do everything that you all want to do. As always, email me questions and comments. Here's to a fun and Magical New Year!
