States and TCG Player.com 5k!

State Champs are just around the corner (October 13th) and are being run at the store level by Legion Games in Minnesota and Misty Mountain in Wisconsin!

And following your State champ weekend is a Magic $5k in Minneapolis.  We’re holding this at the Minneapolis Convention center downtown.  The main event is a guaranteed $5k and we’ll have more cash side events plus 8 player drafts, etc running all day!

Look for more TCGPlayer 5ks in WI/MN in the coming months. I expect to be doing one in the area every few months!

Hope to see you out at these events!

Event update, Aug 7th, 2012

I just locked a venue for a TCG player MaxPoint Diamond (5k) event in Minneapolis for Oct 20th. It will be at the Minneapolis Convention center, room 103. Look for an event page in the coming days.  I’m looking at the feasibility of running a “day 2” sealed or Draft event at our store location in Burnsville. Let me know if that is something that interests you!

MC5 is rolling… or should i say sailing… along.  Over 40 people booked already for the 5th magic cruise.  Who doesnt want to be part of the first Prerelease at sea!!!! Booking info can be found on the MC5 page!

Grand Prix San Antonio is fast approaching. I just locked all my vendors (we’ll have 8) which span the country. From California to Connecticut and from Florida to Vancouver, dealers will be showing up to buy and sell you cards! Artist Richard Kane Ferguson is coming, and I’m still looking for another artist or 2 for this event.  The Side event schedule is being fleshed out but WILL include a TCG player MaxPoint Diamond (5k) event on Sunday!

lots of fun new stuff happening over at Legion Supplies too… go check us out there and “like” both Legion Events and Legion Supplies on facebook to get updates in your facebook feed!

MC5 first details!

Well we’re there!  We’ve got everything arranged. We had to wait for confirmation from the mother ship that what we intended to do would/could work.  It’s been a twitchy couple days waiting to make the announcement.

The info on the MC5 page here… is LIVE

I’ll quick give you the details.  Who’s our announced VIP?  A PRERELEASE.  That’s right, for the first time ever we’ll be playing a Magic Prerelease as we sail the ocean blue during MC5.  Go read the details on the MC5 page. Share it with your friends, and come join us on the boat!

Bad news time – No RKF

Hey folks,

Many of you are as pumped as I am about Richard Kane Ferguson coming to GP MN.  Regrettably, he is NOT going to make the show. His father passed away yesterday, so he will not be able to make the trip.

We wish Richard and his Family the best in this tough time for them, and we’ll try hard to get him out to another Event when he can make it.

Traffic info for GP Minneapolis Players!

MN DoT LOVES to schedule giant projects on weekends when I have GPs.  They did it again for this one. Thanks to Neal Rasmussen for digging this up. those of you traveling in to the event, PLEASE be aware of the roads that are closed and how they will affect you!  some people will be 100% unaffected. many will be forced to detour a couple miles and end up driving through more city streets/stoplights than normal, please plan accordingly if you are driving in Saturday am! traffic will not be heavy, most likely, sat am, but lane closures and detours will force the bit of traffic there is all the same way and has the potential to back it up!
