Hi everyone, Due to requests and results of the poll put up on these forums, I've initiated the following changes to the current structure of organized play. Basically we've had a bit too many events in the past few weeks which resulted in dividing the playerbase. Here is the list of proposed changes to the Saturday: - Freeplay/trades/League from 3pm to 4:30 pm
- Constructed tournament from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm (3 rounds)
- Limited tournament (mostly draft) from 07:00 to 10:30pm (3 rounds)
I'll put a pre-registration up for the tourneys each week. The format of constructed/limited tourney will change to accomodate some free Cube drafts, 2HG, etc. Let me know what you think, is it too early? Too many tournaments? This week will be Standard for the Constructed and SoA Booster Draft for the limited event. Cheers! As always if ppl wanna draft more, both can be a draft Cheers, Olivier

Rules Tip of the Day: The converted mana cost of most tokens is zero. The only exceptions are token creatures that are copies of other cards. These creatures will have the same converted mana cost as the object they are copying. That's another one i didn't know. Ok now if I have a "Minion Reflector" in play and I play a "Clone" copying "Sprouting Thrinax", what will be the converted mana cost of the token generated by Minon Reflector? Let's see who can answer and explain what happens?

only 11 replies to polls? I think we have more active players than that...I mean 22 showed up to the pre-release...Come on people. We want feedback so we can make this better for you all. Noxy and i dont care what days, we just want as many to attend that we can. I'll second that, only 6 people voted so far.

Hi guys,
I really wonder what your favourite days to play MTG are. Could you please participate in the poll above, you can select up to 2 options.
Thanks, Olivier

Hi everyone,
Big thanks to all who showed up on this Saturday All-Day MTG event!
The first event started almost on time (13:00) and the last one was completed around 23:00, that 10 hours of MTG straight !!! WOOOOOHOOOOOO!
Since I won the drafts, the "special prizes" went to the #2 of each draft -> Mark won the Sealed Deck Free Entry and Omar won the Shards of Alara Pre-release Playmat! Congratulations to you both.
Here are the results of each event:
Draft #1
1. Olivier - 9 points 2. Mark - 6 points 3. Omar - 6 points 4. Paul - 6 points 5. Nadim - 3 points 6. Stan - 3 points 7. Diego - 3 points 8. Sharlene - 0 points (dropped)
Sealed Deck
1. Diego - 9 points 2. Zak - 6 points 3. Olivier - 6 points 4. Stan - 6 points 5. Loki - 6 points 6. Omar - 3 points 7. Mark - 3 points 8. Paul - 0 points (dropped)
Draft #2
1. Olivier - 9 points 2. Omar - 9 points 3. Mark - 6 points 4. Zak - 6 points 5. Nadim - 6 points 6. Akin - 3 points 7. Diego - 3 points 8. Marvin - 3 points
We'll do that again next month, but this time it will be organized in a mini-Grand Prix with Constructed portion of the event (Block) and a limited portion of the event (Draft), all giving points towards the same tourney.
The events were a lot of fun, I hope everyone enjoyed it as well. We were a bit too much "on a clock" to complete all 3 events in one day, so next time there will be only 2 events, with more room for trades and free play.
