Prerelease and pizza party!
Play in our prerelease and get free food and drink, a shot at a Jace, the Mind Sculptor or Wasteland, and a chance to win a free booster box!



Melrose Music & Comics is happy to announce our New Phyrexia Prerelease! We're super excited about this set, and we think you should be too.

To celebrate, every entrant will get FREE pizza, a candy bar, and a drink. (While supplies last.) Also, we'll be giving away a NM Jace, the Mind Sculptor (http://magiccards.info/wwk/en/31.html) or Wasteland (http://magiccards.info/tp/en/340.html)! (Player's Choice)

That's right: if even a single person attends, first place will receive a NM Jace, the Mind Sculptor (http://magiccards.info/wwk/en/31.html) or Wasteland (http://magiccards.info/tp/en/340.html)! (Player's Choice)

Also, if 30 or more people attend, one entrant will randomly receive a brand new, sealed booster box of New Phyrexia! (To be given at launch.)

We play swiss, which means every player plays every round. We have capacity for 32 players.

My employees just took the time to remind me that May 7th is also Free Comic Book Day (http://www.freecomicbookday.com/)! Come on down, and in addition to the free pizza, drink, candy, and (shot at a) Jace, pick up some free comics! Sweeeet! We're even ordering extra copies of the Path of the Planeswalker II (http://www.wizards.com/Magic/Magazine/Article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/arcana/697) preview for all those hard-core magic storyliners out there!

I'd forgotten to mention one thing: the entry to this event is not payable in store credit. Sorry guys.

Wow - thanks a TON to all 32 players who attended! A totally unexpected turnout. We're super pleased, and it seemed like everyone had a BLAST!

Russel came away with a bunch of packs and a shiny new Jace, The Mind Sculptor. Congrats!

As we had over 30 people, we raffled off a booster box of New Phyrexia. Neil got the lucky ticket! Enjoy!

Don't forget to come by next week for the launch party!

You're wrong. Wizards RECOMMENDS that two packs be added to the prize pool for each player. It's not required. Still, we gave away 76 packs (or pack's worth of credit), 12 more than what Wizards said we should. (32 x 2 = 64)

The reason we were unable to give all the packs we promised that day is simply because we ran out. Wizards gave us enough product to hold an event for 18 people + a side event. We had 32. We had to cancel our side event, then we gave out every booster we had, apologized, gave credit for the rest, and then gave everyone who received credit EXTRA credit to apologize for our inability to distribute all the prizes.

In addition, we raffled off an entire booster box for free (Congrats Neil!) and gave first place a NM Jace, The Mind Sculptor (Russel - use him well.) If anyone who attended is unhappy with the event in any way, please, please e-mail me at melrosemusic@gmail.com or PM me, and I will do whatever I can within reason to make it right.

I get that you guys are trying to promote business, but, this (http://www.mtgthesource.com/forums/announcement.php?f=13) might be worth looking at.

MTGSalvation has no such rules though.

I figured people here's be interested in the Jace/Wasteland. I had no plans to post re: my launch party. :)
