All,

Well the new Magic set Worldwake seems to be very popular. Sixty-two players enjoyed the Worldwake Pre-Release in Birmingham and after six rounds of Swiss the Champion was Manveer Samra, well done Manveer on your second trophy win!

Now on to the Worldwake Launch Party details:

STAFFORD WORLDWAKE LAUNCH PARTY SUNDAY 7th OF FEBRUARY 2010

Event notes

[1] This event is open to 50 players. Special promo foil while stocks last.

[2] Price for admission is £22.00 for two reasons. Firstly, it falls in line with Wizards of the Coast pricing guidelines and secondly because the product given to each player to use on the day is three (3) Zendikar TM boosters and three (3) Worldwake TM boosters.

[3] As an incentive to those of you who attended the Worldwake Pre-Release event at Birmingham I am running the following promotion. If you played in the Birmingham Worldwake Pre-Release event, I will offer either a £2.00 deduction in the cost of entry OR a free pack of 50 plain Ultra Pro sleeves of the colour of your choice [while stocks last]. I realise that this isn't an enormous saving, but I think that it rewards my most regular players for their loyalty.

[4] Those of you who pre-ordered a box of Worldwake boosters from me can also claim your £2 discount per box from the entrance fee for the Launch Party event on top of any other discounts explained in point [3] above.

[5] I'll be filling the traditional Grab Bag with the contents of some Worldwake boosters as additional prizes.

[6] As an additional prize, I have had a winner’s trophy engraved. The trophies are a popular part of the Pre-Release events and have been made part of the Launch Party event tradition too.
