EVENT
Magic 2010 Worldwide Game Day
INTRODUCTION
In 2007, we launched Tenth Edition Core Set with a Worldwide Game Day event
to great success. We are pleased to announce the reintroduction of Magic
Game Days with the Magic 2010 Core Set with worldwide events to be held on
Saturday, August 15th, 2009.
We plan to provide Magic Game Days for every Magic set, including the
recently announced Zendikar. Each Game Day will be supported with a prize
kit that contains a winner's certificate, exclusive foils for all
participants (while supplies last) and exclusive top-8 prize foils!
Magic Game Days take place at participating Wizards Play Network locations
worldwide one month after the Magic 2010 release.
Thank you for participating in the Wizards Play Network and providing a
great place for players to come together and enjoy the best trading card
game ever!
