Saturday November 24th 
This is the big one - probably our biggest Magic event so far - the Sealed Return to Ravnica PTQ: Gatecrash! Last year saw our Innistrad Sealed event smash the UK record for attendance, and PTQ attendances have continued to climb ever since. And because it is sealed, literally everyone is in with a chance of winning. Remember everyone - this is Thanksgiving, so expect American themed spot prizes and the continuation of Wear a 'Tache, win a Stash.

(9am) PTQ Gatecrash Registration Opens: Sealed Return to Ravnica PTQ at the Thistle Hotel Manchester (£30, Sealed)
(10am) PTQ Gatecrash Player Meeting followed by deck construction
(11am) Round One begins
(8pm) Top 8 Draft begins in store

Meanwhile in the store: 
(10am) Pokemon League
(1pm) Pokemon Mini Tournament

Sunday November 25th
(10am) Legacy: Win a Mox Tournament (£15) - the return of the legendary Win a Mox event that kickstarted the Legacy scene in the North. More specifically in this case, win Mark Hammond's Mox Sapphire. And trust me, he'll be pulling out all the stops on this one to win his Mox back ;-) 
(7pm) Magic: Return to Ravnica Drafts of Praise (£10)

No plans for this one :( Got some friends from Germany coming over for the w.e. Good luck to anyone who goes!

See you in Colchester then.

[Thomas David Baker]

Train is about 2 hours direct out of Euston.  Advance tickets 36.50/49.00 on the 06:55/07:20.  On the day/flexible ticket is 73 quid.  Car is cheaper with enough people in it but takes 3.5 hours+.

[Kieran Symington]

This doesn't really seem woth it since Colchester is next week and looks amazing.

[Thomas David Baker]

We could be a bit less adventurous and do Saturday in Penderel's Oak.  No PT invites there but could be fun.  I have a new "Kieran Cube" that I am toying with.

Sample booster:

Doubling Season
Secluded Steppe
Helix Pinnacle
Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded
Harrow
Ichor Slick
Bog Wraith
Mulldrifter
Snake Basket
Golem Foundry
Essence Feed
Elvish Aberration
Regrowth
Chancellor of the Annex
Kami of False Hope

I'm not here Saturday but could do Sunday - especially as there's a 'Kieran Cube' (Whatever the hell that means).

[Philip Dickinson]

KIERAN CUBE sounds amazing, as do RTR drafts or proxy constructed shenanigans. anyone else about this weekend?

[Thomas David Baker]

Another Kieran Cube sample booster:

Fluctuator
Rogue's Passage
Sylvan Bounty
Lavacore Elemental
Seed Spark
Retaliate
Misfortune's Gain
Corpsehatch
Bringer of the Red Dawn
Pollen Lullaby
Polymorph
Riddlekeeper
Stitch in Time
Bloodchief Ascension
Soratami Mirror-Guard

I have 30 or 40 RTR boosters.  I am going to the theatre on Sunday evening.

What process decides the contents of the cube?

guessing from the sample packs, there is a complex algorithm which selects AMAZING CARDS
