Holon Phantoms Prerelease

The spirit of a Prerelease is non-competitive, with no real pressure to win, which is why everyone will recieve prizes at the end. The main objective is to have fun, to be able to check out all the new cards before they even go on sale to the general public, and to test out some of the new cards in battles with other players in a tournament style afternoon!

Come on over on Saturday, April 22nd!!
(Our Regular Weekly Tournament will be cancelled to bring you this Special Premiere Event)

Cost: $20 for 6 boosters to build the deck with, plus 2 prize packs and special item at the end.

At 12:30 each player will recieve 6 booster packs of the new set (to keep) and may start opening their packs. Players will each build their own 40 card deck using only those cards and basic energies that will be provided to play in the tourney. Players may not trade the cards from their booster packs with other players until the tournament ends. You'll have 30 minutes to decide what cards to put in your deck and how many energies you'll need. (Come early for some easy tips on making your deck) Then you'll check off your cards on a decklist, and turn it in for the energies you'll need to add to your deck to make it complete. Matches are played for 4 prize cards. At 1:00 the tourney will begin with 20 minute rounds. The number of rounds played will depend on how many players, minimum of 3 rounds, and all players will continue to play in all rounds (not elimination).

As always, we will have some great door prizes throughout the event! Some of our great door prizes will include:
Holon Phantoms Booster Packs, Dice sets, Deck Sleeves, and a Free Pass into our next Prerelease at TIY!
