Thanks to all 49 of the players who turned up on Saturday the 12th to
make the Fan Boy Three Prerelease the third best attended event in the
country and over twice the size of any other event in the North – so
long as you don’t count Stafford! Fan Boy Three Launch events are as
follows:

Friday the 25th 7.30pm – Draft Release Event (£7.50), with two pods –
Shadowmoor/Shadowmoor/Eventide for the Pro’s and triple Eventide for
those of you who just want as many Eventide cards as possible. 3 wins
= 4 boosters, 2 wins = 2 boosters and 1 or less win = 1 booster (of
Eventide) plus everyone gets a release promo.

Saturday the 26th noon – Sealed Release Event and M-Fest Feeder
Tournament (£15). A carbon copy of our Prerelease, but with the added
bonus of M-Fest Feeder bonus booster prizes and an exclusive Mana
playmat for the winner. Everyone scores at least one Eventide booster
and one M-Fest Feeder booster as prize support!

Sunday the 27th noon – Sealed Release Event II (£15).

By popular demand we’re running Shadowmoor theme/triple Eventide as
our Sealed format, and the prize support split will be pretty much
identical to what we ran for the prereleases. £30 gets you entry into
all three events – one draft and two sealed – and three copies of the
release card. If you can’t make Friday, you can swap that draft for
any of the draft events all weekend.

Both Saturday and Sunday will see side event drafting (£7.50, plus you
can use your prize support boosters to subsidise your entry), with our
popular – sanctioned – Drafts of Praise kicking off at 7pm Sunday
evening.

Don’t forget the Grand Prix Trial Copenhagen on 10th August – your
last, best chance to practice competitive Standard play before M-Fest
and the Nats. Although we feel honour bound to increase our price for
standard Premiere events to £10 in line with DCI guidelines, we’ll be
throwing in a complimentary Shadowmoor/Shadowmoor/Eventide draft for
all players to offset the entry price increase this time around – and
provide even better Nationals format practice!

To support the current environment our FNM’s for the rest of the month
are:

Friday 1st August 7.30pm – Draft (£7.50, Shadowmoor/Shadowmoor/
Eventide) with a possible Block Constructed side pod to prep for
Reading.

Friday 8th August 7.30pm – Standard (£3) with a possible Block
Constructed side pod to prep for Bristol/M-Fest

Hope to see you in store this weekend, but have a great release
weekend wherever you choose to play.
