Take a look at upcoming events!

Worldwake Gameday!

This Saturday, 6 March 2010 at 12:30pm is Worldwake Gameday! $10 standard constructed tournament, where I am GUARANTEEING a box of Worldwake in prizes, with first guaranteed 18 packs. Everybody who enters gets a full art promo Hada Freeblade, and the top players get a full art promo foil Kalastria Highborn. Plus, play in our standard constructed that night at 5pm for $5 and receive a foil promo from our stash, with the winner of the second standard taking home another full art foil Kalastria Highborn! Any questions, see Edd!

Release!!!!! Now doesn’t that feel better?

This Saturday and Sunday, we have our Worldwake Release Tournaments. $30, noon, with a prize payout based on attendance (traditionally about 1 1/2 boxes of product per day). The release foil is Joraga Warcaller, the super multikicker elf. Hope to see you there!

Small change in hours

Nothing huge, but if you check on the right-hard side of the site, you’ll see that our hours have slightly changed.

In short, we’re opening an hour later on Saturdays and closing an hour earlier on Sundays.

If you have any comments, questions or concerns let us know!

EDH, Snow and Edd

Here’s the deal. Because of the snow, the “EDH Crowd” has let Edd know they’re not down with EDH tonight.

Thus, it’s all been pushed off ’til next week. Any questions give us a call at the shop or talk to Edd.

In addition, because of the lousy weather, we’re going to try and let Al go early. Thus, we might be closed around 5pm today.

Stay warm.

Let us know what you think!

We decided to ditch the MMCG Google Group as it was getting overrun with spambots. However, there are still several ways you can give us feedback online!

You’ll see a link to our forums on the right side of the site, this is one of the best ways you can offer us feedback, chat about games, ask questions or what have you. Free to join and we won’t bug you with constant MMCG emails.

The more we hear from you, the better we get!

All clear!

Alright! Thanks to a swift-ish landlord, our leak problems seem to be dealt with.

All regular store hours and events are on as planned.

When it rains it…

…you can finish that up.

We had a water heater explode above us over the weekend, just to usher us into the New Year in style!

Because of this we’ve suffered some water damage and we’re in the process of cleaning it all up. As such, WE MAY BE CLOSED FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME while this gets fixed.

If you have any questions about what’s going on, give us a call at 481.7889 and we’ll be happy to help you out.

Happy New Year!

Start out the new year right with some EDH! January 1st, 2010, high noon, $10 entry. Prizes to the top table include cards from From the Vault: Exiled, plus cards to most original deck, best sportsman, and more.
