Rise of the Eldrazi Launch Party

Next week marks the release of the new Magic set, Rise of the Eldrazi, and we’re all pretty pumped here at the Comic Swap! To celebrate the release of the new set, we’ll be holding a big launch party here at the store on Saturday, April 24, starting at 1:30 pm!

The main event will be a sealed deck tournament. Ideal for new players and those who are unfamiliar with a set, a sealed deck tournament offers new and experienced players alike a fun way to get to know a new expansion set. Unlike a booster draft, in a sealed deck tournament you will be given six boosters to open and build a deck from. Your card pool is whatever you’ve opened in your six boosters, and you’ll take the cards you open home with you.

For $25 you’ll get six boosters, and everyone will go home with an alternate art Lord of Shatterskull Pass created just for the launch party events. And there will be plenty of prizes to give out, too, so if you play well, you just may go home with even more!

We’re hoping (and expecting) a very large turnout, so please let us know if you plan to attend. We’ll hold spaces for as many people as we can, but if you absolutely want to guarantee a space, I’d recommend paying in advance. You can call in with your payment or stop by and pay in advance.

So here’s the skinny:

Please arrive at or around 1:00 pm. We will open the six packs at 1:30pm and begin forming our decks. You will have 30 minutes to build your deck. The first matches will begin at 2 o’clock. Each round will be one hour long. We’ll do as many rounds as are required based on the number of players who show up; this will probably be five rounds if twenty-four people enroll. We’re also going to adjust the prizes to the amount of people who show up, scaling from a $15 gift card for first place if it’s very small to a $45 gift card for first place if it gets up to 24 players.

So that about sums it up! Please let us know if you plan to attend, as I’ve got a feeling we’re going to run out of space! Email us at info@comicswap.biz to reserve your seat.

Hope to see you next week for some hot Rise of the Eldrazi action!!
