ANNOUNCING NEW PLAYER INCENTIVES

At Comic Emporium we love to reward our winners. Just as importantly, we like to recognize our players, the guys and gals that are here every week keeping it fun for everybody. With this in mind, we are very excited to announce a new addition to our Magic Player Incentives Program:

Each month, the player who earns the most Participation Points for that month will receive One Free Page from Greg’s Trade Binder (18 Lightning Bolts) !

At the end June, the player earning the most participation points between now and then will receive One Free Unlimted Booster Pack !!!

In the event of a tie, the players with the most Participation Points will play a single elimination, winner-take-all match in a format of Greg’s choice.

How to earn Participation Points:

  • Show up: Every Magic tourny you play in counts one Participation Point.
  • Bring a new player: Sign up a new player and earn 1 extra Participation Point for that event PLUS a free booster pack!
  • Be a new player: If you are new, WELCOME! You earn 1 extra Participation Point for your first tourny PLUS a free booster pack!
  • Play in a Special Event: Every month Comic Emporium will host at least one Special Event. This may include Grand Prix Trials, Prereleases, Release Parties, Holiday Theme Parties, or Just-Because Parties. Check the calender often! Playing in a Special Event earns 2 Participation Points.

Mox ?! Lotus ?! Time Walk ?! Sunglasses of Urza ?!?!?! Whatever it is, its 16 years old, minty fresh and waiting to go home with YOU!

BRING IT!

Team Panda in the Middle: Dave Barth, Danny MacDermid, Adam Ecker

This past Sunday, the Emperor Warlords assembled their generals to meet their rival empires on the field of battle; proving once again that at Comic Emporium it doesn’t have to be sanctioned to be fun.

The format was Emperor Standard with four 3-man teams taking the field. In the end it was Team Panda in the Middle conquering their rivals: Teams When Fluffy Bunnies Attack, Panda Chasers, and Natural Male Enhancement. Side events included a 6-man chaos match and various other casual play.

Sundays are Winner’s Choice meaning this Sunday’s winner(s) chooses the format for the following Sunday. Its a great time to relax from the typically competitve tournament environment and just have fun playing the game we all love. Everyone is invited and a great time is guaranteed.
