Avacyn Restored Release events at Red Castle

Posted on May 2, 2012 by Candy

It’s all Avacyn Restored, all the time at Red Castle this weekend! Check out what we have in store for you:

Friday, May 4, 2012 – 7:00 p.m.: Sealed FNM Tournament

In lieu of our usual Standard tournament for Friday Night Magic, we’re running a sealed tournament release party! $25.00 entry. Players receive 6 Avacyn Restored booster packs. The first 36 people to register and pay will receive a foil promo Restoration Angel. Prizes for everyone!

Saturday, May 5, 2012 – 6:00 p.m.: Avacyn Restored League Play

Don’t know what a Magic league is? Now is the time to find out! Play five matches per week for four weeks, and tailor your deck’s strategies based on the special conditions for each week. Format is sealed deck; initial entry is $20.00. Additional packs of Avacyn Restored can be bought at the end of each week for $5.00 ($2.00 of which goes towards prize support). Players may play extra matches each week to catch up.

Sunday, May 6, 2012 – 5:30 p.m.: Booster Draft Tournament

Our first Avacyn Restored booster draft! Entry is $15.00.

And as always, we have Mini-Masters (a.k.a. Pack Wars) all weekend. Buy a pack with a friend and throw down! We’ll lend you the basic lands you need.

Feel free to download and print out this handy-dandy flyer to help you remember the dates, times and fees.

Updates on our pre-release events!

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Candy

Our midnight pre-release was a stunning success! So stunning, in fact, that we have to cancel the two sealed tournaments we have scheduled at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday. We’re very sorry for any disappointment this causes. However, we ARE still running the Two-Headed Giant Sealed event at 6 p.m. I repeat: we’re still on for Two-Headed Giant Sealed at 6 p.m., and it’s still a Helvault event.

Thanks to all of our fantastic customers for making our pre-releases stellar events!

Avacyn Restored Pre-Orders and Pre-Release Events!

Posted on April 10, 2012 by Candy

Silverblade Paladin

Silverblade Paladin would love to let your dudes hit twice for double the fun.

EDIT: Because of a scheduling conflict, we had to cancel our Saturday pre-release tournaments, and move them to Sunday. Read on for more details!

We hope you guys have been enjoying the Avacyn Restored previews as much as we have. Avacyn, Angel of Hope is a pretty amazing angel, especially if you play Commander or reanimator decks, and Temporal Mastery has the potential to be the new Time Walk.

And as we always do, we’re offering fantastic deals for pre-ordering booster boxes and fat packs. Pay in full, and get a box for $85.00 each, and a fat pack for $29.75. The Buy-a-Box promo this time around is Silverblade Paladin. Pretty sweet!

For our pre-release events, we have some truly fun treats in store. First of all, Wizards of the Coast is providing Helvaults that participating stores can use for select pre-release events. The Helvault contains secret treasures–nobody at the store has a clue about what’s in them. The tournament participants break the individual seals in the Helvault by completing achievements to unlock the goodies inside. Not every store gets one, and Red Castle is going to get TWO of them!

The two Helvault events are:

Midnight Pre-Release, Friday 4/27/2012 at 11:59 p.m. This is our usual sealed tournament for $25.00. Free pizza for participants, and first prize is a booster box!

Sunday Two-Headed Giant Sealed, Sunday 4/29/2012 at 5:00 p.m. Fee is $30.00, and two people receive eight packs to build their decks, and play as a team.

These tournaments are capped at 120 people, but the Helvaults are optimized for 54, so only the first 54 to register for each event are going to be guaranteed a spot for the Helvault. Register as soon as you can!

We’re running two more non-Helvault pre-release events: two Sealed tournaments on Sunday, 4/29. For more details, check out our flyer. The pre-release promo is pretty sweet if you love equipment and if you love EDH/Commander:

Moonsilver Spear

Can't swing a dead cat in these parts without hitting an angel.
