Magic: The Gathering

Hurdles Cleared.. Hoops Jumped Through... Gates Crashed...
Submitted by GopherDave on January 6, 2010 - 5:27pm'Tis official now... Armored Gopher Games can now hold Wizards of the Coast DCI/WPN-sanctioned events!
With the Alara block draft on January 22nd, Armored Gopher Games begins its push for Friday Night Magic!
To get this, we need to hold 4+ sanctioned events in a 12-month period that have at least 30 unique DCI/WPN-sanctioned players, at least SIX of which have to be new to organized play. Also, at least one of our events has to draw more than twelve (12) people. WHEW!
That's a lot, but I have confidence that we can do it!

Casual Magic...
Submitted by GopherDave on January 5, 2010 - 6:17pmHey Folks...
As it goes early in the new year, I am slowly jumping through the hoops and crashing through the gates that are the (ever-changing) requirements to get WPN/DCI sanctioning for Magic: the Gathering events here at the Gopher.
Until then, we are just going to do our own thing. On slate for this month are two booster drafts and another Peasant Magic constructed tournament.
The Booster Drafts will run on January 8th (Zendikar draft, 2010 prizes) and January 22nd (Alara block draft, Zendikar prizes), with details listed at each event.
The Peasant Magic tourney is happening on January 16th, and details are listed here.
Once I know more of our sanctioning status with WotC, I will pass the news onto you guys.
peace... GopherDave

MtG: Peasent Constructed Deck Tourney
Submitted by GopherDave on February 26, 2010 - 8:50pmOn Saturday, March 13th, Armored Gopher Games will be hosting a Peasant Magic tournament. The Starting time is 6:30pm.
We had 14 players in December, and 12 players in January. Let's keep the momentum of fun magic in CU going!
Fun!
What is Peasant Magic???
- Peasant Magic is a fun format that anyone can build a deck for, at minimal cost.
- A Peasant Magic deck can have NO rare cards.
- A Peasant Magic deck can have only 5 uncommon cards.
- Every other card in the (60 card minimum) deck must be a common.
- Alpha through Zendikar - If the card has a white border, or a black border - and it has a standard Magic:The Gathering back, you can play it.
How do I know what is common or uncommon???
- If the card has ever been printed as a common, you can count it as a common.
- If the card has never been printed as a common, but has been printed as an uncommon, you can count it as an uncommon.
- Look at the Gatherer website (http:/gatherer.wizards.com) to see what rarity the card has been printed at.
What do I need to bring???
- A deck
- A way to keep track of life totals (pencil and paper, small rocks, really solid boogers)
- A decklist.
What's a decklist???
- A decklist is a piece of paper that has a listing of all the cards that you are playing in your deck. On this decklist, you need to have your name, and you need to indicate which of the cards in your deck are UNCOMMON. Remember - NO RARES, AND ONLY 5 UNCOMMON CARDS.
How much does it cost to enter???

DCI/WPN Sanctioned: MtG: Type II/Standard Constructed Tournament
Submitted by GopherDave on January 15, 2010 - 11:16pmWelcome to the first DCI/WPN-sanctioned constructed-deck tournament held at Armored Gopher Games in almost two years!
Armored Gopher Games is marching hard to get itself positioned to hold Friday Night Magic events, and that trek continues today.
Today's event is a Standard Constructed format event, using Swiss-style pairing. The number of rounds it lasts will be determined by the number of players that attend.
Details...
- This event needs a minimum of eight (8) players to happen.
- The maximum number of players for this event is sixteen (16). We're a relatively small store, and are just coming into our own as a Magic: the Gathering venue. Bigger tourneys will happen as we gain more experience running them.
- Prizes will be awarded to the top half of the field. Prize Support will be drawn from packs of WorldWake. Final award numbers will be based on the total number of players participating in the tournament.
- Entry Fee for this event will be $5.00.
- DCI/WPN Sanctioning Number: 10-02-2171725
I think that about covers it... To sign up, leave a comment (with your name, first AND last) below.
