FNM at Home

How can I do that at home, answer is "IN MTG ARENA"

What: Three FNM events that give all MTG players a place to play familiar experiences.

When: March 27, April 3, and April 10, each for 24 hours, running Thursday at midnight to Friday at midnight, PT.

Who: Anyone with an MTG Arena account (download here!)

Entry fee: None

Formats:
March 27—Challenger Decks
Choose between the four preconstructed 2020 Challenger Decks and jump in to challenge others.

April 3—All Access
Build a deck with any cards in Standard, whether they're in your collection or not. Play others, build more decks, play again. Rinse. Repeat.

April 10—Historic Brawl
Build a 60-card Brawl deck with your Standard and Historic cards, and battle!

The goal with these formats is to provide fun ways to play in a Friday Night Magic-like environment, whether you're downloading MTG Arena for the first time or you've been playing since the Open Beta.

But to fully experience these events, you need to connect online with us at KD Games. Here's how.

Step-by-step, here's how it works:

  • Play in the event (win or lose as much as you want)
  • Take a screenshot of your event page
  • Post your screen shot on our FB page or FB FNM event
  • I will message you with a special code to unlock some special MTG Arena sleeves. (I will also send you a friend request so that I can add you to our MTG closed group.
  • You can play anytime that you want (although the FB event will be created for our usual times.)
  • During our usual FNM times why not chat via our FB group and let everyone know how your games are going.

Orchard

Last week we received delivery of the solitaire game Orchard. It is really quick to learn and only take minutes to play. If takes a lot longer to master however. I have now played it countless times and still can't get any higher that 45 points. 

Orchard is a quick solitaire 'tile laying' game that plays in under 10 minutes. The aim of the game is to harvest fruit (score points) by playing cards so that their fruit trees overlap other trees already in the orchard that bear the same fruit. The more trees you can overlap, the more fruit you'll pick.

As well as the 9 double sided cards, you'll need 15 dice (of 3 colours) to keep track of your increasing harvest, and 2 cubes to represent 'rotten' fruit. These allow you to lay a card that you wouldn't otherwise be able to - but come with a points forfeit. So you must decide if and when to play them.

Currently the top score is held be Vince, which is 47


Think you can beat it? If so then why not pop in and have a go with our demo copy, better still why not buy one for yourself and play until you do.
