Thanks to everyone who came out yesterday and made states 2010 yet another success. Thanks especially to the folks in WI who put up with ridiculous heat at Misty Mountain! I had said I wouldn’t run another large event in the store in the summer to avoid getting over heated, but assumed October would be just fine (figuring 60s or so for temperature) however we got insane heat of 80 degrees on Oct 9th and we were just flabbergasted as to why we couldn’t keep it at least moderately cool since it wasn’t even the most people we’d ever put into the space. Well. Turns out our AC died sometime friday.


SO thanks again for putting up with it, and please know that for future events in store, we’ll have new high output AC in place, we’re setting up an appointment to get it installed this week!

Brad Nelson has confirmed he’ll join us to gunsling at Scars of Mirrodin Prerelease in Minneapolis area! that means the Regional prerelease at Misty Mountain in Burnsville will have 25% of the top 8 competitors from Pro Tour Amsterdam in attendance… As both Brian Kibler and Brad Nelson will be there!


Sweet.


Come try to win packs from these guys!

WOW.


We thought they were gonna be cool. We thought they would do well… but the small print run of bacon sleeves I had printed, more for fun than anything else, has sold out.


They’re being reprinted, but it’ll be a couple months before we see them. Thanks to everyone for the support of our new, cool ideas. we’re looking forward to showing you more fun stuff you’ll want to buy!

Well, it keeps getting pushed out… the product is IN the US and is sitting in a warehouse in Chicago pending a truck to bring it to me in Madison. With any luck I get it today. If not I WILL get it tomorrow…or I will rent a truck and drive to Chicago myself!


I’m putting the links active over on the supplies page. So go ahead and order if you’ve been waiting, and I’ll ship as soon as the products hits my warehouse!


We’ve also been picked up by 4 distributors, so chances are YOUR store deals with one of them, so if you’d rather buy it from your FLGS (Friendly Local Game Store) tell them to call their distributor and order!

Well, it finally went live today, the Mother ship has announced a rebranding of Pro Tours into what will now be called “Magic weekend“. This means great things for non pros as well as competitive types. It’ll be like the PT many of you have experienced, but BIGGER. I’ve gotten some rumors of things coming down the pipe and while I don’t know details of anything, this should be a great step for PTs. Party time!

Last years attendances were so huge, we busted the seams at Misty Mountain in Madison. We’ve added some space in the open mall bay next door that we’ll use for this and other Magic events in the future to help alleviate the pressure!


For the 2010s, Legion Events will host events in 3 states: SD, MN as well as WI


See you all out taking your first crack at decks featuring Scars of Mirrodin!
