Magic the Gathering: Standard Showdown


DESCRIPTION
Standard Showdown is a new Ranked, Standard MTG event being offered by Wizards of the Coast for four consecutive Saturdays starting on November 26, 2016.

Each event will run 4 rounds at the most regardless of the number of players.

Each event is a Standard Constructed (like FNM).

Players with a winning record will receive packs of Kaladesh as prizes. We use our structured payout system.

4 wins will payout 8 packs
3 wins 1 draw will payout 6 packs
3 wins will payout 4 packs
2 wins 1 draw will payout 3 packs (if there are only 3 rounds)
2 wins will payout 2 packs (if there are only 3 rounds)

Alternatively, we are now offering store credit towards MTG singles, for every pack a player wins, they can opt to take $2 per pack as credit instead of receiving packs.

Additionally, ComicReaders Downtown will be distributing up to 10 Standard Showdown booster packs per event. The Standard Showdown packs will be prioritised at each event in this order:
- Undefeated players (draws do not count)
- Returning players from the previous weeks
- Players who brought a friend or significant other who hasn't played at a sanctioned MTG event at ComicReaders Downtown in the last 6 months
- One random giveaway to a player who has not already received a pack at the event

We need a minimum of 8 people in order to run each event. If we do not have 8 players, the Standard Showdown event will not occur, and Standard Showdown packs will not be given. Players who arrived are welcome to stay for Casual MTG. No Standard Showdown packs will given out for Casual MTG.

Standard Showdown packs are not available for retail sale.
