Rogues Gallery will be holding two pre-release events for Magic: The Gathering’s newest set, Avacyn Restored, on Sunday, July 8th! We have room for 16 players in the first event, beginning at noon, and 16 players in the second event, beginning at 4 PM. If space allows, we are happy to allow players to play in both pre-release tournaments… players will have to buy-in to both tournaments, you cannot carry over cards or decks from the first pre-release into the second.
Registration will begin at noon on July 8th. We’ll begin the first event at 12:30 with 30 minutes to construct your decks, and the pre-release will run 3 rounds from 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM (at the latest). Please note that if you are pre-registered, you must arrive by 12:15 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.
The second tournament will begin registration at 3:30, and the tournament will start as close to 4 PM as we can manage, with 30 minutes to construct your decks. Please note for those pre-registered, you must arrive by 3:45 to claim your spot or it will be opened up for walk-ins.
We will allow walk-ins for both tournaments if the space is not filled, but we encourage pre-registration, as we generally fill up fairly quickly. In addition, because there are two events, and because the second event may run later than our usual closing time, we won’t be able to offer trading or casual place space after the tournaments end.
We will be playing a Sealed Deck format, each player will pay $25 to receive six Magic 2013 booster packs to use for building a deck. All participants will receive a limited edition card, and prize support will be in the form of Magic 2013 boosters.
In addition to the main Prerelease Tournament events, if space allows, we will offer Open Dueling, allowing any player who wants to play to purchase 1 Magic 2013 Intro Pack to play against each other, as well as Prerelease tournament players who are between matches.
