Celebrate summer at New Wave Comics with some sweet Friday Night Magic incentives! Join us on Friday nights throughout the summer season, June 21-September 23, & enjoy some extras:

• Bring a new player or a friend who hasn’t been in the shop yet in 2015 & get a FREE BOOSTER PACK.
• FNM top winners will get to choose a card from the PRIZE BOX. Cards are hidden, so it’s a game of chance, but we assure you, there are some sweet singles in there!
• $12 DRAFT every week
• Tasty PRIZE SUPPORT: 8-11 players – 1st/3 packs, 2nd/2 packs, 3rd/1 pack; 12+ players – 1st/6 packs, 2nd/4 packs, 3rd/2 packs.

Promos:

• June — It’s warm outside, but it’s getting frosty at Friday Night Magic as Frost Walker, a tragically terrifying 4/1 Elemental, comes bounding to a June FNM near you.
• July — Your eyes do not deceive you. Participate in an FNM in July and you might just walk away with one of the best removal spells ever printed. Path to Exile is a near-universal staple in Modern, and July will grant you an opportunity to stand out further from the pack with this new version, now featuring art from Raf Sarmento. In celebration of Modern Masters 2015 Edition, both July and August FNM promos will be Modern staples. What will August’s be? Tune in next month to find out.
• August — Do you see? Do you see? Your vision of the future will be 20/20 come August when Serum Visions, with art by Dan Scott, comes to an FNM near you.
• September — Promo TBA

Friday Night Magic starts at 6:30pm. Contact the shop at info@newwavecomics.net with any questions.

ABOUT DRAGONS OF TARKIR:
Dragons of Tarkir is designed to be drafted with Fate Reforged but not with Khans of Tarkir. Also, Dragons of Tarkir will not rotate out of Standard with Khans of Tarkir and Fate Reforged, but instead will rotate out with Magic 2016 due to Standard’s regulation changes. Dragons of Tarkir contains 264 cards and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. Like the one from Scourge before, the expansion symbol of Dragons of Tarkir represents a dragon’s head. (Source)

ABOUT FATE REFORGED:
Sarkhan Vol travels 1,280 years back in time, to change the moment that sealed Tarkir’s fate: the battle between Nicol Bolas and Ugin, the demise of the latter and all dragons of Tarkir (Crux of Fate). The clans still exist back in the time; they are not fighting each other but are constantly fending off the legion hordes of dragons that are terrorizing their world. Sarkhan meets khans of the past, like Yasova Dragonclaw. The history of Tarkir is rewritten. Read more…

At the Fate Reforged prerelease, players choose their clan. While they complete three achievements, they follow in Sarkhan’s footsteps to attempt to alter fate; they get to “Heal Ugin” and “Gain a glimpse of the future.” The latter comes in the form of a special “Ugin’s Fate” booster pack containing two alternate art cards that show how the world has changed in the new timeline, a token and a basic land card. There’s a pool of 40 alternate art cards with a holo foil stamp (mainly from Khans of Tarkir, a few from Fate Reforged, one mythic), the main change in the art being that there are dragons now. In addition, the basic lands also have alternate art, showing off Tarkir of the past. (Source)

Each event is $27for your Prerelease Pack , pizza, and prizes. EVERY player who completes all his/her rounds will receive 1 booster pack; top 3 players will win additional packs. Additional prizes from the shop will be given, too! Why should you pre-register?
