Fun-N-Games Hobby Shoppe Blacksburg, VA Legacy & T2 Win a Box Tournaments in April

I am trying to get weekend Magic Events started at our local game store in Blacksburg, VA which is directly across from the main entrance to Virginia Tech. The events are currently alternating between Standard and Legacy to appeal both to the local standard scene and the rising demand in many areas for Legacy.

These are regular sanctioned events and you do not need a deck list.

All Universal rules and Magic: The Gathering Floor Rules are in effect for this event; no proxies allowed. Players are highly recommended to bring pen, paper, card sleeves and appropriate counters. The store highly suggests trading between, but does not allow advertising, people with excess amounts of trade stocks, taking up excessive table space for trades, nor buying and selling of cards between players.

Store Address:

I believe that the title says it all! 

Every Tuesday at 6:00 PM, Fun-N-Games at 420 North Main Street in Blacksburg, VA now has sanctioned Legacy tournaments that are completely free to play in and are giving out foil promo cards including fnm cards to the top 3-4 places depending on turn out. 
As the store is a very small business, usually we have lots of extra very nice playable overstocks from previous FNM's and releases//prereleases which are given out as prizes with most winners getting multiple promos from what we have available of their choice!


All our legacy events start every Tuesday at 6:00 PM and usually last until around 9:30-10:00 with 4 rounds.  As our store is small, the environment is very much relaxed and casual decks are greatly welcomed as most of our legacy players also play Elder Dragon Highlander.



Additionally, we will be hosting a sanctioned Standard Magic Game Day on the 3rd Saturday in May at 6 PM and will welcome anyone to participate.


Last, but not least we have Magic Events every single weekday at 6:00 PM, with the following schedule and prizes:

Monday 6:00 PM Standard (Free!!)
Tuesday 6:00 PM Legacy (Free!!)
Wednesday 6:00 PM Elder Dragon Highlander Free-for-All (Free, often many players at the same table!  This is something I just love!!!)
Thursday: Cheapo Pack Draft ($5.00, prize given as store credit + promos. Play with reject rares, commons, and uncommons in packs with the same layout as a normal magic booster pack and this is fun!!!)
Friday: FNM Booster Draft ($15.00 prize given as store credit + promo cards)

I sometimes will personally hold big prize events about every other month on Saturday.

(540) 552-2204

Depending on turnout at our next major legacy event on December 5, 2009, we may have regular legacy constructed weekly events on wednesdays at 6 PM at the store.  Normally, we have a limited or constructed magic event every weekday but tueday and all are at 6:00 PM.  We have sanctioned standard constructed on Monday (free entry fee, prizes are promos split between the top 3), sanctioned FNM booster draft ($15 entry fee, prize as store credit) -- also we have unsanctioned Wednesday Elder Dragon Highlander (free entry fee) and thursday reject pack drafts ($5 entry fee, prize in store credit).



edit -- OMG - did not realize the text was huge

Today's Tournament had 12 people attending it and was a great success.  We are going to schedule more future Legacy Events, likely with a cumulative prize pool with specific numbers of players. 

Although our computer had a software error at finals with us unable to get complete tournament results and winners, our top 2 players decided to split first and second place by trading in the winnings for cold hard :g: :g: (green!) cash! 

A few of the Mtg The Source regulars have pictures of the event, our store's goodies for sale including many dual lands, the winners of the event celebrating their victory, and a group hug with me for last place winners!!  (Well, you Mtg The Source guys asked if there would be a prize, so I offered as a complete stranger a hug for last place prize, out of sheer randomness and humor lol )  I do not have current access to these and am pretty bad technologically with these digital cameras, but if any of you want to share the pictures and spread the word about Fun-N-Games and how cool it is, feel free to do so!!!

Everyone here locally and that came from far away had a wonderful time.  Fun-N-Games and I hope that more will have the pleasure of coming down to our small town store for some big time fun and prizes!!!

keeping this upped

bump of the day to ya

tell your friends about this --- we already have a good number of locals interested in attending this event

two days until the tournament

keeping this tournament posted

see you there on saturday

should you have any questions, feel free to post them here or call the store

this event looks like it's going to be a great one!  still getting many people interested in coming.  if enough show up, we will host an event in late october for a piece of power, mana drain, and more dual land goodies

up for the day

up for the week --- we got many people already calling in about the tourney that are looking forward to it.

furthermore, Klep, a moderator here asked about proxies and how to do them::

--You simply need to write the proxy on a basic land or any other unwanted card including what the card's name, cost, type, and oracle text are for the card.  Again, 10 proxies are allowed and they can be anything you want.

Furthermore, for anyone interested in buying cards before the tournament, I will be available as the dealer with many new cards coming in each week, to sell, buy, and trade for any singles, collections, or wholesale cards.

In addition to the dealer rare binders, we will have a $1.00 & $2.00 rares + goodies box set up along with 10 rares for $5 packs and wholesale lots of 500 cards of individualized by color for anyone that wants a discount.



Finally, depending on turnout, we will likely be having a Legacy tournament in October for a Mox Pearl, Mana Drain, and Dual land.


Thanks again for looking!

up for the day - its only a few weeks until tournament time!
