Modern

Sunday Morning Modern Tournament

Jan 4-6th is the Oakland Grand Prix, which is Modern.  Let’s get each other great so we can kick butt and represent for D20. So  we’re going to be doing Modern tournaments on Sundays from now on.   This is a higher level constructed tournament and is good for experienced players.

Special treat…for the first events, bonus special Standard Showdown pack for the first 8 players.  The Showdown packs come with a foil, a rare and a special foil land, and are very cool. (The bonus packs are given even if the tournament doesn’t fire)

What:  Modern Format Magic Tournament.  4 rounds, prizes based on number of wins and number of players.

Cost: $10 per person. (2 packs into the prize pool per person.)

Extra Competition for the best Modern player in the store. We will be tracking win and loss records up to the Grand Prix in January.  Top players will get special prizes to show off as they represent for D20 at the Grand Prix.

Sun 11am Modern Tournament

Due to popular request, the Sunday Magic Standard tournament will be taking a little break to be replaced by a Modern tournament.  Same bat time (11am-though we will be changing it to 10 in the next few months), Same Bat Channel.

We are rebuilding after Standard petered out, so I want to reward people for showing up while we get things running again.  If the event doesn’t fire, your $10 entry fee turns into $15 off any Modern playable singles.  Also, while supplies last, top players get the special Standard Showdown bonus packs, which means that if we don’t have enough to run, the first 3 players that show up will get those packs.

We will run as a casual event if there are between 4-7 players and a normal sanctioned event if there are 8 or more.

Cost is $10 with 2 packs per player going into the prize pool.  4 rounds max.
