O yeah, you really know how to get me to tournaments. Sounds like a really fun weekend getaway.

What kind of awesome prizes? Can you at least tell us what the top 2 prizes are?

What kind of awesome prizes? Can you at least tell us what the top 2 prizes are?

Top finisher to win Mirrodin foil set, second place to win uncut Urzas sheet, Top-8 finishers each win a Mutavault promo card.

But its a 2 day event so you will have to go saturday for swiss and sunday for the top 8.

So we would have to pay $50 for a weekend pass to the comicon and a $20 entry fee?

So we would have to pay $50 for a weekend pass to the comicon and a $20 entry fee?

You say that like a $50 weekend pass is somehow not a fifty-dollar weekend pass to Comicon. You can do other stuff, too.

But yeah, if you're only going for the tournament(s), then it's probably not a good deal.

I know its not in the announcement but your entry into the event will include one free 8 man event. This is per my chat with Tom this past weekend. I will be judging at this event.

Also FTA "For those players only interested in participating in Magic events all weekend, New York Comic Con and Wizards have teamed up in 2009 to bring you a $15 3-day gaming badge that allows you entrance to the gaming area and the Javits Galleria(x)."

I may be going to Comic Con, but I probably won't be playing Magic.
