Magi-Nation - Gen Con Events!   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #593 of 596 |

Hello Everyone!

This is Matt, from the Milwaukee Magi-Nation League.  I wanted to take this opportunity to remind you about the events we have planned for Gen Con this year.  We've got quite a few new surprises in store for you!

You can view the full event catalog on our website, Dreamtime Media - http://www.dreamtimemedia.org/magi-nation.

 

----------------------------------

All Four Days of Gen Con –

We will host free open gaming for Magi-Nation in the CCG Hall (Room 145) throughout the convention.  Come on over and get in some pick-up games, trade with other players from across the country (and from around the world!) and have fun with others who love this game like we do!

Thursday, August 10th

For the opening day of Gen Con, we are debuting our fast-paced new format, "Tag-Team Slinger!"  In this variant on the Slinger format, players use three separate, one magi, twenty card decks to battle their opponent's three decks.  The twist, however, is that you can "tag-out" one magi (and that magi's deck) to bring in another at the beginning of your turn!  Check out the full rules in the event catalog online!

After that, stick around for the Booster Draft!  This Sealed Deck variant where you select cards individually in a "draft" setting is always a hit – sign up early to ensure your spot!

Friday, August 11th

Friday is Team Day!  We start things off with Team Sealed Deck, where players are split into two teams, each representing a particular region.  Everyone gets starters of their region, and three supporting boosters to build their decks.  However, in this variant, players are perfectly allowed to trade cards and strategy amongst their teammates!

After the Team Sealed event, we're running another Tag-Team Slinger tournament!

The main event of the evening is the Team Championship.  Fight for the honor of your local team, league, gaming group, etc!  Teams should consist of no more than five people, though you will not be penalized for having fewer than five.  Games will be played individually, but your placement is determined by your team's overall performance.  Team names, battle cries, themes, etc. are highly encouraged!

Saturday, August 12th

This is it, the Gen Con Championship!  Bring your best deck to show the world who's boss in the biggest Magi-Nation event in the country!

Later Saturday evening, be sure to check out the brand new "Iron Chef" event!  This is a Constructed event where you actually build your deck from scratch on the spot, using any legal cards available to you in your collection.  However, you must incorporate the "secret ingredient" that will be announced at the start of the event in your deck!  (Copies of the "secret ingredient" will be provided if you need some.)  Your placement in this event will be determined not only by your placement in a standard tournament, but also by your creative and stylistic usage of the "secret ingredient!"  Full rules are available in the event catalog online.

Sunday, August 13th

The final day of Gen Con features the Restricted format, where only a certain set of cards are legal for play.  Without the popular staple cards, how will you rethink your strategy?  The list of cards legal for use in Restricted in included in our online catalog.

----------------------------------

 

Full text rules for all formats are available in our online catalog at Dreamtime Media - http://www.dreamtimemedia.org/magi-nation.  Any changes, updates, or announcements will be posted there throughout the convention, so check back frequently to be sure you didn't miss anything!  You can also email me with any questions, comments, or concerns that you might have.  Tournament winners, pictures, and other stuff will be posted online as well, so be sure to check it out!

Hope to see you there!
