Heroclix - Fear Itself - Month I

This will be a 300 point Sealed event using 1 Fear Itself tournament 5-figure booster and 1 5-figure booster or 5 1-figure boosters from any other blind purchase set in stock at ComicReaders Downtown.

All participants will also receive the Book of the Skull Resource Dial and Kuurth's Hammer 3D Object.

1st, 2nd and fellowship prizes of Loki on Hel Wolf will be awarded.

Taking part in official Fear Itself events is the only way to get the new Fear Itself Heroclix. There will be NO booster packs available for retail sale. All booster packs are provided to retail stores in the Organized Play Kits provided by Wizkids.

Invitational Modern Masters Draft *Magic: The Gathering*


WHAT IS MODERN MASTERS?
Modern Masters is a 229 card set containing reprints from 8th Edition through Alara Reborn pulled from the Modern format, including the sought after Tarmogoyf! The set is designed to be both high power and balanced for Limited. 20 to 30 cards will have new art, as well as creature tokens that haven't been printed before. A guaranteed premium foil card will take the place of a basic land in each pack.

WHY INVITATIONAL DRAFTS?
Modern Masters is released June 7, 2013 but if you follow Magic: The Gathering then you already know demand is high for this limited edition product. Boxes of Modern Masters are already listed at $300 (USD) on StarCity Games. Brick-and-mortar stores are keeping quantities and prices close to their chests, but one thing is certain: There is not enough product to go around!

For months, ComicReaders Downtown has wrestled with what to do with this sought after product. Well, a couple days ago we came up with a plan....

ComicReaders Downtown will hold Modern Masters Draft events. These events ARE NOT open to the general public. Invites will be extended to members of the MTG community that attend MTG events at ComicReaders Downtown and are known by ComicReaders Downtown as supporters of the MTG community and / or as ambassadors of MTG.

In short, this is our chance to celebrate you, our loyal community of MTG players!

ComicReaders Downtown staff have looked at event data for 2013 and have created the list of invitees. Invitations will be given out starting Friday, May 30, 2013.

FORMAT
Two draft events will be held every Sunday, starting June 9, 2013. Invitees will be able to sign-up to the draft of their choice. (Instructions will be on your invitation. Do not contact us via this forum.)

Each draft will support a pod of 8 players.

Each player will receive 3 packs of Modern Masters to use in the draft.

Players keep the cards they draft.

Cost is $45 (after tax).

Players may be eligible to attend more than one Modern Masters Draft. We will contact those players after the first round of drafts occur.

Pre-registration and pre-payment will be required.

If you pre-register and pre-pay but cannot make the draft, there will be no refund from ComicReaders Downtown. You have the option of contacting another invitee and swapping dates with that player, or you can ask another invitee to buy your spot in the draft.

ComicReaders Downtown has enough Modern Masters to hold 9 weeks of Invitational Modern Masters Draft.

If you just started attending MTG events or used to attend but have not recently attended MTG events at ComicReaders Downtown and wish to take part in the Modern Masters Draft, you might be able to do so if you start attending events (FNM, Sunday draft / sealed) because we will be looking at June data as we prepare invites for the late July / early August Modern Master Drafts.

DATE & TIME
Two drafts will be held on Sundays, starting June 9, 2013. Drafts will run until ComicReaders Downtown runs out of product.

All drafts start at 12pm.

June 9
June 16
June 23
June 30
July 7
July 21
July 28
August 4
August 11

There will be no Invitational Modern Masters Draft on July 14 because of the M14 Pre-Release.

ComicReaders Downtown will continue to runs its regular draft / sealed events on Sundays. See here for the June schedule.

PRIZES

Prize structure for Invitational Modern Master Draft will be as follows:

- All players keep what they draft.

- One pack of Modern Masters will be opened and the contents given away based on the results of each draft. The distribution is as follows: Top player picks 2 cards. The seven remaining players pick 1 card in the order of the standings. The selection then starts again with the first player, with that player picking 1 card. That leaves 5 remaining cards, which will be selected by the players in order of their standings. So, to the summarize: Top player (3 cards); 2nd - 5th players (2 cards); 6th - 7th players (1 card).

- Prize pool of Dragon's Maze will be distributed based on player standings.

- Each first place player will be invited back to ComicReaders Downtown at a future date (August - September) for a Invitational Modern Masters Sealed event. 6 packs of Modern Masters. $70 (after tax) entry fee. At that event, no additional Modern Masters or other MTG prize packs will be given.
