Fan Boy Three July Events E-Mailer
Theres a little store called Fan Boy,
Ill be there Saturday;
To win a trip to Texas,
Is why Im going to play.
My Standard deck is ready,
My mana base is sound;
And if I qualify there,
Pro Tour Austin Ill be bound.
To celebrate our very own independence (as the United States of
FanBoy), at this weekends Pro Tour Qualifier well be donning fancy
dress, giving American themed spot prizes and making sure every single
player who makes Top 8 walks away with at least £17.76 worth of
FanBucks (Fan Boy Three Store Credit)!
Whats a Pro Tour qualifier? Its a chance for players from all over
the country to flex their decks as they play for a place on the
infamous Pro Tour a year long party that rewards the best players in
the world with cash prizes just for playing Magic. That prestigious
place comes complete with flights to the Pro Tour in question in
this case, its Pro Tour Austin, Texas and the format is Standard
just like we play at Fan Boy Three every Friday night.
Anyone can play, and literally anyone could win. And at Fan Boy Three,
we make sure everyone walks away with at least a booster at every
major event we run, so everyone wins.
And remember 2010* is just around the corner with the second biggest
Prereleases in the UK scheduled for next weekend. So lets get the
Magic party started early, with PTQ Austin at Fan Boy Three this
Saturday!
Yeehah!
But hold on just one cotton picking minute there, pardner. Theres
more to Fan Boy Three than just Magic, despite the imminent Pro Tour
qualifier, Grand Prix Trial, Two Prereleases, Three Launch events,
brand new base set, Grand Prix Brighton and UK Nationals. July has
Celestial Edition for L5R, two Gold series tournaments for Yugioh and
the start of the Summer Cup, the return of big prize Pokemon, Warcraft
AND Huntik Regionals, release events for Star Wars Miniatures,
Monsterpocalypse (and Magic: 2010!)
Who says they do everything bigger over there?
Dave, Dans, Phill, Tamara, Rod, Ross and all at Fan Boy Three
*Thats Magic: 2010, the latest core set complete with 50% all new
cards, not the year which, as far as Im informed by the DCI, will be
still coming right on schedule the day after December 31st. Phew if
Konami were doing it, who knows when it would turn up! (Just kidding
guys... I like my Yugioh Prereleases...)
WHATS HAPPENING WITH MAGIC?
July is once again Magic Month at Fan Boy Three, what with our
Independence Day PTQ for Austin on the fourth, a weekend of Magic:
