FNM Events this August

There will be four Friday's this month and we will be back to normal Standard/Modern rotation. Starting today with Modern. This will mean that there will be 2 Standard and 2 Modern. The promo card this month is 'Renegade Rallier'.

While it hasn't taken off in Standard, Renegade Rallier actually has a strong spot in the Modern metagame as fetch lands enable the powerful ability basically at will. The updated art from David Palumbo is also really nice...

In addition to the main FNM event I will be testing continuing the idea of a smaller FNM event which will start at 5pm. This will be free to enter with FNM promo cards for first and second place (it will still be sanctioned and count toward KD points). This event will be the best of one game and rounds will last just 30 mins. The first one will be rescheduled League from Saturday due to this weekend being MTG Game Day! The proposed event formats are as follows...

4th August .... Hour of Devastation League
11th August .... Pauper
18st August .... Peasant
25th August .... Rainbow Stairwell

For the younger players there will also be casual FNM from 4pm which is not a tournament but every play gets an FNM promo (sometimes older ones) just for playing!
