Holiday Hours-Events and specials…

By / Leave a Comment / Magic, Updates

Happy Holidays folks!!

We’re open extended holiday hours up to Xmas eve, but will be on more limited hours until next Friday.

One of the cool new presents we got for the holidays...

Dec 22: 1 to 8

Dec 23: 11-10  Friday night magic and drafts all day.

Dec 24: 10-5 (maybe longer.)  (purchase only…no events that day)

We are offically closed between the 25th and the 30th, but keep checking back for more bonus hours and events that may happen during that time. (Or call in)

We will be Drafting Magic on Friday Night at 6, and will have draft lists going all day for bonus drafts (as soon as we get to 8, we will draft.)  We will be drafting all the sets from Standard (Scars block, M12, Innistrad.)

We got a ton of new stuff in for the holidays!  We have Photon Shock wave boxes back in stock, Fat packs from Scars, Mirridin Besieged and New Phyrexia, a bunch of great Pokemon stuff and some super cool deck boxes and mats.  We also managed to get a very, very cool blast from the recent past that is very hard to find: Archenemy.  This varient of Magic lets one master player take on 2-5 other players by them-self.  It’s a great version for one player who is good to have a bunch of their friends who may be of different levels get a chance to play together and learn. (Great for a kid to play against a younger sibling and a parent or buddies, and wonderful for older players who want to mix up their games.  These go for $25 each and are guarnteed to have lots of fun in ’em.) This is  And we are running a bonus holiday special…spend more then $35 and get 1 of any of the standard packs (Yugioh, Magic or Pokemon) for free.  (Excludes 7 for 6 pack offer and events).

We will be open for limited hours during the next week…check the website for updates or call the store.

Monday Special Draft!! Worldwake! Holiday Hours…

By / Leave a Comment / Magic

Get yer Jace on!  Second of our Premium Draft series–Worldwake!

We did an after hours draft of the first batch last week and realized that we’d forgotten how much fun this set was.  Beyond the possibility of  pulling the card that was so good it almost broke Magic completely, the set features a bunch of extremely fun aspects, including kickers, landfall and allies.  Lots of different and fun ways to play in this set.  It also includes the extremely cool Zendikar lands.  These packs normally go for $10 each these days, so even at the premiere price of $25, this is a lot of fun for the $$.  Limited to the first 12 players to sign up, so come in (or call in) early.

When: 6:00

Cost: $25/pp (includes 3 packs of Worldwake.)  Prizes of VERY cool Worldwake Mat and the lands that match them for the top players. (but since it is $30 worth of Worldwake for $25, everybody wins. 😉 )  Sleeves are available for special discount of $2 with the draft.

Monday Draft of one of the most fun sets ever

D20 Update–Impt.Events & hours changes for (& after) Holidays.

By / Leave a Comment / Events, Magic, Updates

Hey folks, a few big(ish) annoucements.

  • From now on, look for us to be open for special kid events on most early dismissal days. (Not this week…personal business.)  We will post special openings on the site and through our update emails. (to get on the list, email us at info at d20alameda.com.)
  • Coming:  We’re creating a gift recommendation list for different levels of Magic, Yugioh and game players.  We will also announce a special few days where we will be open during the school day for parents who want to come in while the kids are safely tucked away at school.  While we do need to sell things to stay in business, we do take pride in making sure that we stock good stuff and make appropriate and trust worthy recommendations.
  • After Thanksgiving:
    • We will be moving Friday Date Night Magic to Saturday.  (This is for kids age 9-14.)We will start it at 5:30 (5 for pizza).  Advanced (and very well behaved) kids can join on Friday for Friday night magic at 6:15.

  • Events this week:
    • Friday
