Do
you like to play Magic but don't always have the time to make
it to events? Or maybe you don't have the money to afford making
a competition level deck? Then X9's casual Magic League may be
the place for you.
The
Magic League is a sealed deck event that runs every month. Participants
build decks from a sealed pool of cards and compete in a total
of twenty matches over the course of four weeks. The best part
is that you can play matches whenever. Just stop in any day of
the week and you're likely to find opponents to play against.
And at the end of it all prizes are awarded to participants for
various factors. You don't even have to do well, there's a prize
just for the most games played, as well as small prizes selected
at random.
The
Magic League costs $20 to enter and includes one Tournament Pack
of 75 cards and two 15-card booster packs (a $17 value).
Using
the cards recieved from entering, entrants construct 40-card decks
which are kept at the store. Entrants then compete against each
other at the store at any time, reporting the winner and loser
of each match to the store. 2 points are awarded for a win and
1 point is awarded for a loss.
You
may only play people for points once a day. Any matches beyond
that count towards tiebreaker points. At the end of the league
any ties in points are resolved by tiebreaker points (2 points
for a tiebreaker win, 1 point for a tiebreaker loss). Tiebreakers
also count towards the total number of games played, and its associated
prize.
Entrants
are required to register a checklist with the store of the cards
they open in their sealed pool. This is to deter the adding of
outside cards.
Entrants
may choose to add an additional booster packs each new week. A
total of three packs (one a week) may be added at the cost of
$3.45 apiece.
The
first week, entrants can play a maximum of five matches. After
this five matches are added each week.
For example:
In the first week Mike is only allowed to play five total matches.
Of these, Mike plays three.
In
the second week, the maximum amount of games he can play rises
to ten. Since he has already played three matches the first week
he has seven matches to play the second week.
Or,
If Mike doesn't play any of his matches the first three weeks,
he has twenty games to play in the last week.
It
is not required to play all your matches every week, but it is
advisable to play all twenty matches before the league ends in
order to get as many points as possible.
Prizes
are determined according to the number of entries.
