The first qualifier(s) for the August 22nd event will be held this weekend on Sunday Aug 2nd. The winners of the qualifiers will win free entry into August 22nd event and a seat at the draft for 'all the marbles'. (FYI, you can buy alot of marbles with the $50 first place prize on August 22nd...)

For those interested in trying to make a NorCal qualifer, the address for one of the events on Sunday Aug 2nd is:

Vozza's Hobbies & Comics
2075 Bird Street
Oroville, CA 95965
530-534-3370 ask for Mark
11am Sunday August 2nd

YOU DO NOT NEED TO ATTEND A QUALIFIER TO PLAY AUGUST 22ND: It's just a chance to win free entry to the August 22nd event, and to get some practice in for the format.

I hope to see you there!

Ladies and gentlemen, the World Champion will be in attendance.

Do you need another reason to show up and play?

Popularly asked questions:

1.) Can we use cards like Healing Factor/Berserker Rage, etc.? Basically, non-team legend cards.

YES! 'Legend' cards are 100% ok.

2.) Where's your ban list? Besides Blink, what's on it?

Normal banned list plus Blink.


"Overload"
"Justice League of Arkham"
"Antarctic Research Base"
"Gone But Not Forgotten"
"Valeria Von Doom, Heir to Latveria"
"Talia, LexCorp CEO"
"Go Down Fighting"
"Fiddler, Isaac Bowin"
"Detective Chimp, Bobo T. Chimpanzee"
"Dr. Light, Master of Holograms"
"Frankie Raye <> Nova, Optimistic Youth"
"Nenora, Skrull Usurper"

3.) Can you bring a mono-team deck? Or does it need to be two teams?

YES, you CAN bring a mono-team deck. But, it important to understand that if you use a card like Underground Movement that it DOES count as an affiliation since the card gives that affiliation.



Some quick info about the Oroville Qualifier:

* We had 10 players. (We had 4 no-shows due to illness or work conflicts...those people will be attending the Sacramento Qualifier on August 8th.)
* Tommy Lebow won the overall without winning either of the two events that day. (He was very consistent the whole day.) He will join The World Champ at the draft table with 6 spots yet to be determined.
*Some people drove from as far away as 100 miles to get there.
*An autographed Foil Savage Beatdown was given as one of the prizes to the 2 event winners. Other rare cards and EAs made it into all players hands.
*Robert Pack won the constructed Tournament with an Avengers deck.
*Jamaal Holly won the Super-Cross Over sealed, which was amazing since he started the day promising everyone in attendance that he would not win a round in the sealed event. Instead, he didn't lose a round...going 6-0 including the top 4 playoff.

I have asked for deck lists, but some are cautious to give me the details of exactly what was in their deck (at least for everyone else to see) since they will be using the same deck or variations of them on August 22nd. I will see what I can do, but more details will likely be available on Baldsday.

Thanks to everyone that attended and participated! I saw some epic matches!

Well, since I have never seen him lose a round, he might as well be the Intergalactic Champion...

But it is important to note that this is not an event just for those who are serious about competition.

We will have people running Coming of Galactus raid decks against the players who wish to play something different, or who drop from the tournaments early.

And there will definitely be a discount available for those who wish to purchase statues of their favorite comic characters.

And finally, we will be giving away custom created starter decks for a new comic created out of Sacramento called 'The Hunters' with the purchase of the 3 available titles. THese starter decks are 100% fan created cards that have been worked on and play tested by the local Sacramento Gamers.

Lots of Door Prizes. Cards priced to sell. (Bargain prices!) and the comradery of your local team, The Cardboard Gangsters.

We look forward to seeing everyone who can make it on the 22nd.

We look forward to seeing local players the 8th.

And if anyone is flying into Sacrmaneto for the event, we are providing shuttle service to and from the airport. Some local players have even offered to host traveling players at their homes to avoid the need for renting a room. Just contact me ASAP to make arrangements. (seanthebaldman@hotmail.com)
