Magic: Dark Ascension Pre-Release
![[Ravenous Demon Promo Card]](images/card-images/ravenous-demon.jpg)
Dark Ascension is the 2nd set in the highly-popular Innistrad block. Innistrad's gothic horror theme has struck a resonant chord in many players, setting it on the path to easily become Magic's best-selling set of all-time. Innistrad also broke down many barriers, including the hallowed Magic card back--introducing Double-Faced Cards (DFCs). DFCs have proved to be controversial, but extremely popular.
Pre-release events are a weekend-long celebration of a new set prior to its official release. You cannot buy Dark Ascension cards until the week after the pre-release, but you can own them by participating in one or more Dark Ascension Pre-Release events. Pre-release events are a fun, casual event geared to players of all skill levels. If you have never played a sanctioned Magic event before this is the perfect opportunity to try one out!
Events will begin at Midnight on Saturday, January 28th with a sealed deck event. Sign-ups for this event will begin during FNM on Friday night. Players will be given 3 packs of Dark Ascension and 3 packs of Innistrad with which to build a deck. Basic land is provided by the store for those who need it. Participants will also receive a full Ravenous Demon/Archdeemon of Greed double-faced promo card. The cost for the event is $25 and prizes will be awarded based on individual records after 4 rounds of swiss play.
The next two events occur during the day on Saturday, including the "main event" sealed deck event on Saturday at 11AM. If you only attend one event this weekend, this would be the one. We also hold raffles for awesome door prizes during this main event. Similar to the midnight event, participants will receive 3 packs of Dark Ascension and 3 packs of Innistrad. Prizes are awarded based on four rounds of swiss play. The 2nd event of Saturday is a Sealed Deck 2-headed giant event at 3:30PM. Grab a teammate and play the two-headed giant variant of Magic.
Finally, on Sunday at 12PM we will be hosting our final Sealed Deck event of the weekend--your last chance to play with Dark Ascension cards until the next week when the set officially releases.
For more details on each of these events, including prize structures, check out the "Events" section of our Facebook Page, or feel free to drop us a line, or drop by the store and chat.

Now Stocking: Pathfinder!
![[Pathfinder Core Rulebook]](images/games/dandd/pathfinder_rulebook.jpg)
We are beginning to stock the Pathfinder RPG by Paizo Publishing. Pathfinder is becoming an increasingly popular alternative to Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition. Pathfinder is based on the older D&D 3.5 Edition game that was extremely popular with the player base. The Pathfinder product line is an extremely extensive line of rulebooks, campaign guides, and adventure paths. At this time we will begin to carry and keep in stock the 'core' rulebooks including the new boxed "Beginner Set". We also now have the first set of the Pathfinder pre-painted minis in stock.
Alliances Boosters in Stock!
![[Alliances Booster Box Image]](images/alliances_boosterbox.jpg)
We have received a very limited supply of booster boxes of the Alliances expansion from 1996! Alliances was a small expansion, the 2nd set in the Ice Age block. Alliances followed the less-than-stellar Homelands expansion and was considered to have been underprinted. What is the appeal of Alliances to current Magic players? First and foremost a card called Force of Will! The rise of the EDH/Commander format has also seen a rise in popularity and price of other cards from the set, including Thawing Glaciers and Lake of the Dead.
These boosters are HOT and won't be in-stock long. The last time we had Alliances in stock (2 boxes worth) they sold out completely within 10 business hours. Drop by the store today to pick up your packs!
Weekly Legacy Events
![[Force of Will Card Image]](images/card-images/force_of_will.jpg)
Weekly Legacy events at the Relentless Dragon! Legacy is currently one of the hottest constructed formats in Magic. Legacy is an eternal format--that is, the sets legal for Legacy never rotate. New sets become Legacy legal, but aside from that the only other changes are the occasional changes to the banned and restricted lists.
Cost to enter will be only $5, with 100% prize payout as store credit. The more of your friends you bring, the more prize money for everyone! This will be an unsanctioned event and we will allow up to 15 proxies per deck. This way, you can play with your unfinished deck and hopefully win some store credit to fill in those proxies with real cards!
