FNM is a casual tournament gaming format, designed to allow both beginner and more experienced players a chance to test their deck building skills.

FNM events have significantly less impact on a player's rating than most tournaments, they are 8K tournaments and have a regular rules enforcement (REL). Rules enforcement puts the emphasis on teaching players the correct ways to play.

Four Promo cards, a new card made available each month, are awarded at each FNM. One each to the 1st & 2nd place winners. The remaining two promo cards  are awarded as Door Prizes to two other participants.

Notice: New FNM Format
We are adding a Booster Draft to Fridays, we will run them twice a month. They will be run the two as separate events. 
FNM promo cards will be awarded for both events

Try out the newest multiplayer product, Magic: The Gathering – Commander in a fun, casual setting!

Magic: The Gathering Commander will consist of five different 100-card singleton decks. 
Each deck will also include three premium oversized legendary commander cards that can be used in lieu of the normal versions of the cards (which are also in the deck).


The Magic: The Gathering Commander decks will each be three "wedge" colors with corresponding new commanders. "Wedge" is a term we use for three-color combinations consisting of an allied pair and their shared enemy. Examples of famous "wedge" cards are Lightning Angel (Red ManaWhite ManaBlue Mana) and Doran, the Siege Tower (Black ManaGreen ManaWhite Mana). These combinations have been woefully short-supplied on legendary creatures, so each deck contains the corresponding Planar Chaos Dragon (such as Intet, the Dreamer) as well as two new legendary commanders in those colors, plus oversized foil versions of all three.

The 51 new cards will be legal in Eternal formats (that's Vintage and Legacy), but they will not be legal in Standard, Extended, or Block Constructed.

Wednesday Magic the Gathering League

Begins May 25th

Attention Players! Crimson Dragon Games will be holding a Wednesday night Magic league event starting May 25th, ending on July 13th. The tournaments will take place every Wednesday at 6:40pm. Entry Fee is $5 Dollars.

The format will be Pauper (Your deck must consist of all commons with the exception of 5 Uncommon cards. This includes Lands. Cards from Urza's Saga set and newer may be used.) This is to encourage players with fewer cards or limited collections to compete, and level the playing field. If the card was ever printed as a Common, but recently reprinted as a Uncommon, you can still play it at the Common spot.

Each Wednesday night’s event will be 3 Swiss rounds, and standings determined after that. If attendance reaches 16 or more for the night, 4 rounds with a 5th round tie-breaker if needed.

Boosters will be awarded generously at the end of the league based on final standings (Based on total Points). Each individual tournament will award points based on standings.

1 Point for Entry

2 Points for 3rd or 4th place

3 Points for 2nd place

4 points for 1st place

Throughout the league, when you reach certain point Tiers, you'll be awarded a pick from various Rares/Playsets.

Examples:

Upon reaching 5 points, you'll be given a choice of playsets of several commonly played Commons/Uncommons. "Bulk" Rares will also be for grabs.

Upon reaching 9 points, you be given a pick from cards of similar value to Mimic Vat, Iona, and Grand Architect

Upon reaching 13 points, you'll get to pick from cards like Linvala,  Phyrexian Crusader, and Ratchet Bomb

If you reach 17 points you'll get a choice from several Chase Rares including Baneslayer Angel, Fetch Lands, and More.

At the end of the league, the person with the most points will be awarded a....FREE JACE, THE MIND SCULPTOR. One more time. FREE JACE, THE MIND SCULPTOR. Currently valued up to 110 Dollars. If there is a tie for 1st, the tie will be broken by whoever has the most game wins. Note: Not the best W/L Ratio, but the most game wins. Attending every week counts, and play every game like it matters.

The last event for the league will have a special bonus as well. It will be a draft, for DOUBLE POINTS. This draft will also include a free lunch, Hot Dogs, Chips, Beverages, etc... The entry fee for the draft is $18 Dollars, Unless...if you've made

the second points Tier you'll be allowed to enter for a third of the price. $6 Dollars for draft entry, lunch, and double points as a last ditch effort to secure Jace for yourself.

To register, please respond to E-mail or speak with someone at Crimson Dragon Games -Before 32people are signed up- and secure your chance at playing a fun format, getting free rares, dozens of boosters, and of course bringing home Jace, The Mind Sculptor.
