Magic Standard / Star Wars
Current League Leaderboards
MAGIC: WINTER HARVEST
STAR WARS: GALACTIC CONQUEST
(What is this all about?)
​
We believe the heart and soul of most TCG games should always be some good one-on-one constructed games, so we've added a new layer of fun to both our MAGIC: STANDARD and our STAR WARS EVENTS.
You don't have to come to every game, we're giving away our normal prizes to all players every game!
But for our repeat players, there's something extra for you!
​
With these games, your goal is control an entire universe of planets in STAR WARS or MAGIC.
​​​
• Each individual event will be it's own game. Three 50-minute rounds, best of 3.
​
• There are 12 worlds on each map, and each plane is made up of 5 territories.
​​
At each game
• 1st place wins 5 booster packs, and you conquer an entire planet/plane on the board - or 5 territories.
• If you get a 2 - 1 record, you win 3 booster packs - and you conquer 3 territories.
• If you get a 1 - 2 record, you win 2 booster packs - and you conquer 1 territory.
• If you get a 0 - 3 record, you still take home one booster pack and you conquer 1 territory.
​
TERRITORY CONQUEST RULES:
​
At the end of each night's event, players will tell the host which territory they wish to claim. There are twelve worlds on each map, and each world is divided into five territories.
We begin with the person at the bottom of the ranks, moving up.
​
​
Rule 1. If there are more than 5 unclaimed territories on the map, you have to choose one of those.
​
Rule 2. After that, players can begin STEALING territories from other challengers. You can only steal territories from other players if they are either (A.) not in attendance for that game or (B) they ARE in attendance, but they ranked below you for this game.
​
Rule 3. Additionally, a player's controlled planets are immune from capture as long as he/she has loose territories on other planets. Those smaller territories have to be claimed first before you begin cutting into that challenger's owned planet.
​
In the example above on the MAGIC: STANDARD map, Ricky L. currently controls LORWYN and
INNISTRAD, and he also owns two territories of DOMINARIA. If you ranked above him in a future
game, you would have to steal his DOMINARIA territories. Once those are gone, you could then begin
to claim territories of either LORWYN or INNISTRAD.
​
Rule 4. No dominating an entire tournament with the same deck - the better you do, the tougher it gets.​
​
If you take 1st place in a game of MAGIC, you must choose one of the colors in your winning deck, and surrender that color for the next four weeks. See the maps to discover who currently has bans on their decks.
​
With STAR WARS, the winner will give up the LEADER of their deck for four weeks.
The tournament games are $15. The extra $5 goes towards the pool of additional prizes that will be awarded at the end of the season - the more players we have, the more prizes we'll give away - so come on out and have some fun!
