Gateway gives you stamps on a card for every game you play, whether you win or lose, and once your card is full you get free Magic cards! Very simple, lots of fun.

Eventide, the second part of the Shadowmoor block, is released on Friday 25th July but you know you don't want to wait until then to see the cards! So we're running a pre-release tournament on Sunday 13th July so you can get an early look at the new set. The tournament is sealed deck which means each Player will receive 1 Shadowmoor Tournament Pack and 3 Eventide Boosters with which to make a deck. The cost of the tournament is £15, the cost of the product you play with. Each player will also receive a pre-release foil card while stocks last. We're running this at the Victoria Park Hotel on Ferry Road (http://www.vphotel.co.uk/contact.htm). Sign up and payment will be from 11am and play will start at 12 noon sharp so be sure to give yourself enough time to get there and pay up. We're taking pre-registrations in the shop to ensure you a space at the tournament. All we need from you is your name and DCI number which you can get to us through e-mail, MSN, over the phone, leaving a message here or by popping into the shop. Pre-registration is HIGHLY recommended. Each pre-release participant can also take part in this offer: Pre-order and buy 1 display of Eventide boosters from Black Lion and get 6 Eventide Boosters free when you come to collect it! We'll be taking pre-orders at the event for boxes of Eventide and you'll be able to pre-order until Monday 21st July. Boxes have to be collected before Friday 8th August for the offer to be valid.

Before the release of Eventide we'll be running Theme Deck Challenges alongside Gateway for those that want to try them. £7.50 buys you a random Eventide theme deck before they are available to buy normally! You then play a game against 4 other participents in the theme deck challenge and mark down the players and results on a participation card. Once the card is handed back in to us at Black Lion you get a free booster of Shadowmoor! The cards can be handed in at any point up until Saturday 26th July which means you don't have to play all your games on the Monday nights - they just have to be against other people who are part of the Theme Deck Challenge. We'll be running these for the two Monday's between the pre-release and the release of Eventide and you can enter both weeks if you wish. Theme Deck Challenge games played in the shop on the Monday night will also qualify you for Gateway stamps. Gateway gives you stamps on a card for every game you play, whether you win or lose, and once your card is full you get free Magic cards!
