FIRST ROUND BEGINS AT NOON – SECOND ROUND BEGINS AT 3:30 – PRE-REGISTRATION STRONGLY RECOMMENDED

Rogues Gallery will be holding two pre-release events for Magic: The Gathering’s newest set, Theros, on Sunday, September 22nd! We recommend that you call or email ahead to pre-register, because we have limited space and tend to fill up well before the day of the event itself. We have room for 16 players in the first event, beginning at noon, and 16 players in the second event, beginning at 3:30 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. In addition, of late we’ve had folks sign up and not show up, so if you don’t get in on your preferred time, you are welcome to sign up as an alternate or to come in on the day and try to get available spaces.

Registration will begin at noon on September 22nd. 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.

Players will choose their heroic path based on a favorite mana color and buy a Seeded Prerelease Pack containing spindown life counter, a Hero Card unique to a players’ chosen path, one of five quiz activity cards, five Theros boosters, and a seeded booster featuring cards appropriate for that player’s chosen path including one of the five Prerelease promo cards. The price will be $25 (plus tax).

Prize support will be in the form of Theros 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 Theros Intro Pack to play against each other, as well as Prerelease tournament players who are between matches.

Theros also introduces a new concept, The Hero’s Path, to Magic The Gathering. A series of three Hero cards will be given out at the Prerelease, Launch Weekend Friday Night Magic and the Theros Game Day. More information will be provided at the Prerelease when we have more details to give.
