The Cube Masters Series 2011

[wv]

Hi all,

I just wanted to put something out there -

If I organised this event for next year March, would enough people be interested?

Cube Masters Series 2011

1^st Place – Full set of Legacy Dual Lands (Revised)
2^nd Place – Full set of Ravnica Shock Lands
3^rd Place – Full set of foil Ravnica Karoo lands, foil Alara tri-lands and foil Ravnica signets

Entry Fee: £12
Cube Masters Series Card: Foil Mystical Teachings (with Cube Masters Series stamp) for each competitor

Using a 360 card fully-powered Cube, competitors will battle it out for a full set of Legacy Dual Lands through a series of sealed and draft tournament Qualifiers and a Main Event!

Definitely in. Are you sure you can source all those cards as prizes for less than £384? Seems like that wouldn't even be enough for the revised duals alone..?

[Daniel Royde]

Potentially.
I can advertise this to uni people if you'd like greater visibility.

You can pick up a set of revised duals from MagicMarket.de for around £280. Obviously they won't be mint, but if people want mint prizes they'll need to pay a mint entrance fee (£15+).

Happy to up the entrance fee for better prizes, but I think £12 is already pushing it?
