Just for joining the league you will receive a Sheoldred, Whispering One promo and a Mirran or Phyrexian symbol pin; first come first served.


 

New Phyrexia Player's League Rules

LEAGUE FEE:  $1.00
+ the cost of six boosters. See below.

LEAGUE STRUCTURE/FORMAT

  • ANY Players from the Release tournament may use the card pool they received during the tournament as their league deck!  If you did not play in the release tournament and would still like to join in league play you may purchase either 3 of New Phyrexia and 3 of Scars of Mirrodin or 2 of each Mirrodin Block set. If you are dissatisfied with your card pool you may completely re-buy your pool of cards, but any league games that have been played will still count towards your over-all score. 
  • You must register your deck when signing up for League play.
  • All Players will have a card list which will be updated after each new pack is purchased and kept on file in the store.
  • Adding Boosters to your card pool:  You may choose to add an additional Mirrodin Block booster the day league begins! When purchasing your weekly booster, you may choose to add 1 of any of the Mirrodin Block sets. However, you may not exceed a total of 3 boosters from any one set over the course of League. The listed dates below are when you may choose to purchase additional boosters to your card pool beginning:
    • Saturday 5/14/11
    • Saturday 5/21/11
    • Saturday 5/28/11
    • Saturday 6/4/11
    • Saturday 6/11/11
    • Saturday 6/18/11
    • Saturday 6/25/11
  • Wednesdays, Fridays, & Saturdays starting at 4:00PM are the official league days.  If you would like to play on any other day, please call to reserve your space.   
  • League Decks will be kept at the store until the League has been completed.  Each player will receive a card box with their name on it.  We will hold your cards for up to 1 month after the league is finished.
  • Players are responsible for returning their league boxes to an employee.  If your league cards are left in the game room, you are tempting fate.
  • Anyone caught cheating (inserting cards, etc.) will be dropped from the league and banned from the store for 6 months.
  • Everyone who signs up for the league has the right to play everyone else in the league. No player will deny another player a match if they have the time to play.
  • Players can play as many matches in a week as they wish, but only the first 5 matches in a week will count.  If you do not play all 5 matches in a week those matches can be carried over into the next week. Example: You can wait until the last week and play 35 games. Players must attempt to complete at least six league matches throughout the course of the league.
  • Players are responsible for filling out the result entry slips that are provided and placing them in the bowl so labeled.  Entry slips must be signed and dated for them to be valid.  If this information is not listed on the result sheet that game WILL NOT be included into your score.
  • When players win a match, they will receive 2 tick marks for their score and a loss will result in 1 tick mark for their score.  All money will go towards prizes and kits. 

A promo will be given out for every 4 tick marks received, Master's Call or Plague Myr. First and second place will receive a playset of Phyrexian Metamorph.
