The promo cards and additional prizes change depending on the Warhammer Invasion season.

* Magic the Gathering - Possible Formats *

This is a long list of format's available, we're happy to schedule the formats people demand.

  We usually run the current draft format on limited weeks except the week before the pre-releases as it as this point people are unlikely to want to draft the old format.This week is usualy decided by a group choice of from the formats below.

Constructed weeks alternate between the current PTQ season format (Currently Standard) and one week of something else. Currently "Common and Uncommon only" Standard.


Possible formats include:
*Limited Formats*
-Draft (Current Draft Format)
-Draft (Older formats when available)
-Chaos Draft (Drafting with a range of boosters from lots of sets all at once....chaos!)
-Sealed - All variants listed above
-Intro Pack Sealed
-Deckbuilders Tool kit tournament (Start with a deck builders tool kit, each week for a month you may pay for one booster to be added to your pool and use it to change your deck)

Cube (Someone builds a cube by selecting cards from all of magic's history(approx 500 cards divided evenly among colours). "Packs" are created randomly from this pool of cards and drafted like any other format but obviously the twist being you may have a pack that includes a black lotus, a mox, a umezawa's jitte and even a vizzerdrix! This event is "Phantom" i.e. you don't keep the cards you draft)

Auction Draft:

4 Players pods

Each player has 3 packs

Each player has 300 points

Players take turns to open one pack and lay it on the table infront of everyone.

The players then take turns to bid on cards using their points. THe highest bidder loses the points he bid and gains the card.

This process continues till all packs and all cards are gone.

 

*Constructed Formats*
-Standard
-Modern
-Legacy
-Pauper (Just commons. Available with one of the above set legalities) 

-Peasant (Just commons and Uncommons. Available with one of the above set legalities)
