Magic Schedule for August, 2011

Greetings, Spellslingers!  August is shaping up to be a pretty exciting month for Magic at L.A. Mood, so here's the first of many posts to keep you updated on all the events and promotions and astounding product coming out!

IMPORTANT! Please make every effort to arrive by the posted start time.  I will be more diligent about starting events at the posted start time for the month of August, and it'd be great if you guys could be, too!  Note that the start times for all evening events have been officially set at 6:30 pm.

The schedule of events for August 2011 is as follows:

Monday, August 1st - Civil Holiday!  Our regularly scheduled draft is CANCELLED for Monday, August 1st.  Enjoy the long weekend!
Friday, August 5th - FNM! Standard-legal deck required.  6:30 pm start time, no entry fee.
Sunday, August 7th - L5R Tournament!  The Samurai of Rokugan fight for honor, glory and power this Sunday; because of this, our regularly scheduled EDH and casual play event is CANCELLED for Sunday, August 7th.

Monday, August 8th - Monday Night Draft! M12x3. 6:30 pm start time, $12 entry fee, rare re-draft.
Friday, August 12th - FNM! Standard-legal deck required.  6:30 pm start time, no entry fee.
Sunday, August 14th - Magic Game Day!  Come compete with your Standard-legal deck for a chance at the special Game Day full-art promotional cards.  Check out the later post for further details!  11:00 am start time, no entry fee.

Monday, August 15th - Monday Night Draft! M12x3. 6:30 pm start time, $12 entry fee, rare re-draft.
Friday, August 19th - FNM! Important: This week's FNM overlaps with the Canadian Nationals Last-Chance Qualifying Events.  This week's FNM will be scheduled to accomodate the London players (including myself) who will be attending the Canadian Nationals.  Time is TBA!
Sunday, August 21st - Due to overlap with the Canadian Nationals, Sunday Casual has been CANCELLED for this week.

Monday, August 22nd - Monday Night Draft! M12x3. 6:30 pm start time, $12 entry fee, rare re-draft.
Friday, August 26th - FNM! Standard-legal deck required. 6:30 pm start time, no entry fee.
Sunday, August 28th - Grand Prix: Montreal Trial tournament!  Compete in an M12 Sealed event for the chance to win three byes at the upcoming Grand Prix Montreal!  Three byes is an exceptionally awesome prize, and M12 Sealed is just the way to earn them!  Look for all the details in an upcoming announcement!  11:00 am start time, $30 entry fee.

May's FNM Prize foil is the solid land-fetching staple, Cultivate!  Sure to make your Valakut brews that much fancier for their remaining span in Standard, and what's better than a pimped-out Extended deck?


Also, a reminder that it's never to early to pre-order upcoming promotional sets like Premium Decks: Graveborn or Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Bolas. All pre-orders will be honored and if any promotions are announced, they're always retroactively applied to existing pre-orders!  It's a can't-lose proposition!

Preorders have been officially closed for FTV: Legends!  Additional requests for this exciting set will be accepted; however, no guarantees can be made in regards to availability or price.
As always, questions, comments and suggestions can be directed to lamoodmagic@gmail.com.

See you in the Blind Eternities!
