yeah, last time they did this, i got the premium slivers deck, the allies from zendikar, and the red m10 deck. the time before i got the elves deck from elves vs goblins and the naya domain deck from conflux.
Locator shows the place where the tournament is run, not where the shop is.
not any more. not under the new rules. from the FAQ:
"How far away can an organizer be from a store they associate with?
[...] Organizers may associate with stores further from their play location than this, but all events a store schedules will list the store as the event’s location, and all event materials will be shipped to the store. [...]
My store is Advanced level and gets two FNM events each Friday. Can I run them in two different locations?
[...] This public location does not have to be at the store, but our event locator will display all events sponsored by the store as taking place in the store."
But you could have five different registered TOs living on your block, quietly getting promos and never running events, and you wouldn't know.
you would know because it's on the event locator. if you go to one of those guys' events you found on the event locator (because all FNM has to be scheduled long in advance and is on the locator) and he doesn't give out the FNM promos, you know something is up.
If someone could reference where they heard about the magic deck boxes being added (from an official WOTC source) again that would be appreciated, it wasnt mentioned until recently and It would be a good thing to know beforehand to help explain to customers why wizards raised the price
"NEW FAT PACK: The classic Magic Fat Pack receives a new configuration with the release of Mirrodin Besieged. Fat Packs will now contain nine boosters (instead of eight), 80 land cards (instead of 40), a Spindown™ life counter, a player’s guide, a card storage box, and two 60-card deck boxes."
are you really that thick? he is in no way talking about real legit stores moving. he is talking about people lying and saying that they have a store when they don't. then when it is found out that there is no store at the address they provided, they "move" their "store" to a new address and do it again. and at the new address, there is still no store. it is just a lie.
A store is SUPPOSED to have a business license, an actual storefront, etc. However, Wizards has repeatedly allowed people without genuine storefronts to conduct business, and hold tournaments, under the false pretense that they are stores. In one case, players and distributors reported a store to Wizards, a "store" that changed addresses and moved frequently, and they refused to do anything about it.
i have seen this exact thing (fake store) myself here in my city. i have also reported fraud to wizards multiple times and they never do anything about it.
the poster in my kit was a regular one-sided one, as well. i think the description of 2-sided on the sheet is a typo. wizards has the absolute worst quality control i've ever seen.
making the lich first strike radically reduces infect potential. using an equipment to do this increases your artifacts in play and makes your deck more viable for the new metalcraft mechanic
Other think, i bought the game one week ago.
The pack 1 was suposed to be free with the pre order , isn't it ?
Where can I download the free extention ?
Thanks for your support.
I was wondering the same thing last night, but after going to the campaign mode in the game, I see the content is in there. Nicol Bolas is only in the expansion and he is in there in the campaign mode at the end.
as to Capt Charlie and the M11 sample decks, these are the sample decks for the PC Duels of the Planeswalkers promo. Promos tend to arrive in stores a week before the date that the event goes live. The "event" here being the release of the PC version of Duels of the Planeswalkers (Xbox Live game) is happening a week from yesterday, so their arrival was right on time.
It was Wizards' choice to include M11 cards in these sample decks and also their choice to have them available in stores next Wednesday. It was inevitable that the M11 cards in these decks would be spoiled atleast a month in advance of the pre-release and they fully knew that. I'd even be willing to bet that was the plan all along, to generate interest.
when you say they're not doing it anymore, do you mean they're not previewing it in the community cup anymore (but it is still a new sealed format)? or they're not making a new sealed format anymore?
