Return to Ravnica League - Event 5



Howdy y'all,

I hope everyone enjoyed our first Team Event!  We had all 5 guilds show up with teams of 3 players each.  Those who weren't participating played Horde instead.  Horde gave bonuses capped at 50 Exp/100 I.  Congratulations to Golgari for going 3-0-1 as a team and scoring first place by 1 match win over Selesnya (also 3-0-1).  Thanks to everyone for coming out!

Reminder for bonuses per Match Win:
Seat 1 received 25 Exp/50 I
Seat 2 received 50 I
Seat 3 received 25 Exp

I also managed to forget to pay out an unlock (Rakdos - Mizzium Mortars) to Izzet last week.  I totally taxed it all... oopsy.  I fixed that below.

Next Event

Event 5 is a Block Constructed Team Event!  Each Guild will form a Team of 3.  The decision lies with your Captain (the player in your Guild with the highest Influence, currently).  Your Captain will submit a roster to me.  The roster will fix 3 players to Seat 1, 2 and 3.  During the event, Guilds will face off in single matches, 3 vs 3.  The Guild that wins 2 matches out of 3 first, wins.  There will still be 3 Rounds.  Players may only help their teammates when their own matches are over.  No interfering in a match until your own is done.

Each Seat will receive different bonuses upon winning their match:

Seat 1 wins bonus Experience and Influence.  Seat 2 wins bonus Influence.  Seat 3 wins bonus Experience.

Seat 1 players will face each other, Seat 2 players will face each other and Seat 3 players will face each other.  Seating cannot be changed after your roster is submitted.  Those players not playing in the main event will be able to participate in either Horde or another variant.  All players will have a chance to win bonuses for their Guilds.  For an explanation of Horde:  Mothership Article.

Entry Fee:  $2 per player for the Main Team Event.  Each Team pays as a whole ($6) or does not pay at all.  No fee required for side events.

Return to Ravnica League - Event 3



Howdy.  Hope y'all were safe during the storm.  16 brave individuals weathered the rain and played in Event 3.  Congratulations to Eric Sturm, Ben Cope and Hakim for placing in the Top 3.  Thanks to Ryan for representing Azorius, as he was the only player of his Guild in attendance!  A reminder:  Your rank does not affect cards you can use in your deck, only cards you can contribute towards unlocking.  In other words, even if it's your first event, you can use all the cards your Guild has unlocked.

2 random players each received a bonus 50 Influence.  3 random players also each received a bonus 25 experience.

Announcement:  Pack Rat is banned until further notice.
