Standard this Saturday

First of all, if you haven't already, go and like us on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/FITSSFFMagic.  There will be Facebook events for all our tournaments and links to this blog whenever there's a new post.

This Saturday will be our first constructed tournament of the semester, using the Standard format.  It will be on the 2nd floor of the SUB at 1pm again.  Cost will be $3 for entry or $5 for entry and a pack.

For those who aren't familiar with it, Standard uses cards which were printed in approximately the last two years of Magic.  Right now, this means that for a card to be allowed it has to have been printed in one of these sets:

Scars of Mirrodin
Mirrodin Besieged
New Phyrexia
Magic 2012
Innistrad
Dark Ascension
Avacyn Reborn
Magic 2013

The minimum deck size is 60 cards.  You can bring a sideboard of exactly 15 cards to swap into your deck after the first game of a match.  (You'll need to swap them back out before the next match.)

We're planning on running a Standard tournament every month this semester, so you can update your deck from month to month and make it the best it can be. Or bring something new and surprise everyone!

Remember that you get League Points just for showing up and more for winning games! The more people at the event, the more league points will be awarded, so bring your friends!
