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.
