The newest Magic set, Theros, releases on September 27. We will draft the new set at our FNM tournament at 7pm.  Space is limited so signing up early is strongly suggested.

Also, Saturday’s Win-A-Box standard tournament will be with the format which allows for cards from: Theros, Magic 2014, Dragon’s Maze, Gatecrash, and Return to Ravnica.  The sets Innistrad, Dark Ascension, Avacryn Restored and Magic 2013 have ‘rotated out’ and are no longer standard-legal.  Starts at 1pm. $10.

Magic Modern Tournament Sept 16

Posted on by

On Monday, September 16, Battlegrounds Gaming will hold a “Modern Format” Magic the Gathering Tournament at 7pm.  Due to the growing popularity of this format and the scarcity of many of the older cards, we will allow up to 8 proxy cards per deck.  The entrance fee will be $10 with prizes in store credit based on the number of attendees.
