Magic: Friendly Neighborhood Friday Night Draft! – Green Bay East

Ultimate Green GoblinEveryone knows Spider-Man is the friendly neighborhood hero! Well in his honor, Gnome Games and Wizards of the Coast invite you to a season of Friendly Neighborhood Drafts! Each Sunday afternoon during the Spider-Man season Gnome will be hosting these special drafts!

Sundays @ 1:30pm
$30
Pick-Two Draft style event.

Unlike traditional eight-player drafts, Pick-Two Drafts allow each player to select two cards per pick, reducing the number of participants needed while maintaining strategic depth and fun. Games are played in pods with a minimum of four players; recommended pods based on attendance this way:

  • 3–7 players: 1 pod
  • 8–11 players: 2 pods
  • 12–15 players: 3 pods
  • Etc.

Players then compete in two rounds of Swiss. The undefeated (2–0) player from each pod should receive the event promo card (while supplies last).

What is drafting?

How to Pick-Two draft:

First, players sit around a table in a semi-circle. Each player then opens a booster pack. Remove a token, art card, or advertising card. Then pick two cards without showing the other players.

Each player then passes the remaining cards to the left, and continues drafting from the new cards they get from the player on their right. This continues until all of the cards in those packs have been distributed (drafted). Then each player opens a second pack, but this time, pass the pack to the right. After all those cards are drafted, you do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 45 cards (along with any number of basic lands) which they can use to build a 40 card deck.

Gnome Games provides basic lands for the purpose of building decks (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains & Forests) as each player needs.

Cookie Run: Age of Heroes & Kingdoms Prerelease – Green Bay West

Cookie Run Release Event

Cookie Run Age of Heroes and KingdomsCookie Run: Braverse’s second set is at Gnome Games! Age of Heroes & Kingdoms provides the next opportunity to play the card game with the newest cookies! errr… cards!

Gnome Games Green Bay West will have two events, one prerelease and one release event. The first, the prerelease event, is on Sunday, October 5th at 1:30pm! Entry is $24.

The second is on Sunday, October 10th at 1:30pm. Entry is $24.

Each event will run similarly, although the October 5th event, being a prerelease, will give you a chance to play with the cards before you can buy them!

They will both be a sealed event: Each player will be given 7 booster packs of Age of Heroes and Kingdoms. Players will have a limited amount of time to open the packs and make a 40 card deck from the packs.

Each player will be given an Eternal Sugar promo card at the start of the first round. They will also receive Promo Pack Vol. 3 as part of entry.

Each match win during the event will get the winning player another Promo Pack Vol. 3.

The top player at the end of the event will get a Milky Way promo card.

Some clues on playing for new players to Cookie Run:

  1. What happens to damage if I deal more damage than a cookie currently has? (I.e. what happens when I deal 3 damage to a cookie, and a flip card that adds HP is activated last?),

The newly drawn card will also be flipped. The amount of damage done can be thought of as the number of cards you will attempt to flip from the top of the HP stack in any way possible

  1. Can I attack with a cookie the same turn I play it from my hand?,

Yes. Cookies only have one condition to be allowed to attack, which is being [active] in the battle area.

  1. What happens when there are no more cards to draw?,

When the last card from your deck is drawn, you must perform a [refresh]. To [refresh], you must pick one cookie card from the trash to put into the break area, shuffle the remaining cards, and place them back into your deck.

  1. When/How do you play trap cards?,

Trap cards can be played only when your opponent has declared an attack, and before the initial damage resolves. To play the card, you must also be able to pay the cost of the card by planning ahead and saving your support cookies to pay the cost later.

So you are aware, Brave Points are on pause between October 4th & 9th.
