We'll be continuing Liar's Dice as our Free Side Event with prizes in our 2008 Myriad Games Vintage Series.

Our bonus Myriad Magic Memento cards were appreciated by all. Every player had the opportunity to select a card from our special Myriad Magic Memento Binder including some cool Magic singles. These Myriad Magic Memento are designed to serve as a cool keepsake from the event. Feel free to have your opponents sign them, customize them with the date of the event, or just keep them in your binder as a reminder of a good time at a great Vintage event.

Each tournament report posted in the Tournament Announcement section of The Mana Drain by December 8th will receive a prize! Reports must include Myriad Games in the title. Style points will be awarded for catchy titles, amusing anecdotes, and interesting coverage. Super style points will be awarded for good pictures from the event.
