Dark Ascension: The Fun, the Excitement, the Prerelease!

Greetings, Magic players! Get ready to embrace the night in L.A. Mood's Dark Ascension Prerelease!

Many of the details will be familiar to our long-time players, but there are a few extra twists as the darkness comes to claim us all to keep our Prerelease the most exciting in the city!

The Main Event:

Start Time and Date: 11:00 a.m., Sunday, January 29th. Players are strongly advised to arrive during the hour prior to opening to help keep the registration process from slowing down immediately before to 11:00 am. Please have your DCI number ready (if possible) for the registration process. If you do not have a DCI number, DCI signup slips will be available for you. It's fast, it's free, and it's the best way to play tournament Magic! If you cannot recall your DCI number, it can be found for you with proof of identity.

Entry fee: $27. Cost includes price of product, prizes.

Product: Three (3) Dark Ascension booster packs, three (3) Innistrad booster packs, and one (1) Prerelease Promotional Card (while supplies last).

Signup Process: The entry fee is payable upstairs at the register with cash, credit or debit. Registration for the main tournament is downstairs at the computer desk with proof of purchase. The Prerelease Promo is awarded upon successful entry into the tournament.

Pool Registration: Each entrant will be required to open the 6 boosters provided (the "card pool") and register each card on the provided pool registration sheet at the start of the tournament. The pool registration sheet will then be checked by another entrant in the tournament, or a tournament official if none are available. 30 minutes will be provided for this process. Entrants requiring more time may inform a tournament official.

Deck Registration: Entrants will NOT be required to submit a deck list along with their pool registration. This means that decks can be freely changed in between rounds of the tournament and do not need to be restored to their original arrangement. Remember, ONLY cards from your card pool may be in your deck at any time.

Rounds: Swiss Rounds (no elimination) with a cut to Top 8 Dark Ascension/Innistrad/Innistrad draft Playoff. Number of rounds varies with number of entrants, capped at 7 Rounds, 50 minutes per round:

8-15: 4 Rounds
16 - 31: 5 Rounds
32 - 63: 6 Rounds
64 - 127: 7 Rounds

Prizes: Two (2) Dark Ascension booster packs are placed in the prize pool for every entrant. These will be distributed to the Top 8 based on standings after the Playoff if the event is 35 entrants or fewer. In the case of 36 players or more in the event, the prizes will instead be distributed to the Top 16 based on standings, with the Top 8 being awarded after the Playoff. Additional prizes may be rewarded at the Tournament Organizer's discretion.

All players are eligible for door prizes and other prizes, including Feature Match prizes, while supplies last.

In addition, every player who participates in the Prerelease event is awarded an automatic $5 credit towards all Side Event entry fees for the day.

The Side Events: Innistrad x3 8-man 5-3-2-2 Booster Drafts!

Start Time and Date: 1:00 p.m., Sunday, January 29th and rolling start times after for each new 8-man event. Final event start time is 9:00 p.m., Sunday, January 29th.

Entry fee: $15. Cost includes price of product, prizes. All players who participated in the main event are awarded an automatic $5 off any side event entry fee for the day!

Product: Three (3) Innistrad booster packs, and one (1) Prerelease Promotional Card (while supplies last).

Signup Process: Rolling queues - enter your name into the next upcoming queue along with entry fee. The Prerelease Promo is awarded upon successful start of the tournament. In the case the event does not occur, a full refund is provided. and the Prerelease Promo is still awarded (while supplies last).

Pool Registration, Deck Registration: Entrants will NOT be required to submit a pool sheet or deck list. This means that decks can be freely changed in between rounds of the tournament and do not need to be restored to their original arrangement. Remember, ONLY cards from your card pool may be in your deck at any time.

Rounds: Three Single-Elimination Rounds, 50 minutes per round.

Prizes: All players may keep the cards they drafted for the event. In addition, the following prizes are award at the end of the side event:

1st: 5 Booster packs of Innistrad, 1 Prerelease Promo (while supplies last)
2nd: 3 Booster packs of Innistrad
3rd, 4th: 2 Booster packs of Innistrad.

Last, but not least: Players will be randomly selected upon entry to be a "Monster" (Vampire, Zombie, Werewolf or Spirit). Any non-monster players are "Humans". In any match where a "Monster" beats a "Human", the Human is transformed into a Monster of the same type. At the end of the day, the each player of the Monster type that converted the most Humans wins a special prize!

The Prerelease promotional card for the Dark Ascension Prerelease is none other than the hungry, hungry hippo - er, Ravenous Demon!

And that's it! I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone at our spectacular Prerelease! Remember, you can still pre-order a box of Dark Ascension for our promotional price of $100, tax included. The deadline is January 27th, the Friday before our Prerelease!

A Special Announcement for this week's FNM! (October 21st, 2011)

Hello, Planeswalkers!

As it turns out, L.A. Mood has had the good fortune to acquire a few Foil Snapcaster Mages - two, to be exact. While not a huge number, I think I can do something more interesting than simply sell them.

This Friday, October 21st, players may pay $5 at the registration table to register for the Foil Snapcaster FNM queue. This queue will consist only of players who paid the registration fee, and the first-place finisher that night will receive a Foil Snapcaster Mage in addition to the normal FNM prize foil for October.

The Foil Snapcaster FNM Event will only proceed if 10 or more players queue for the event. In the event fewer than 10 players are registered by 6:30, the event will be cancelled and all entry fees fully refunded.

As usual, there will be a completely free queue for players who don't much care for the Snapcaster Mage.The prize support for the different queues are as follows:

Snapcaster Queue:
1st Place: 1 Foil Snapcaster, 1 October FNM prize foil.
2nd Place: $10 store credit, 1 October FNM prize foil.
3rd and 4th Place: 1 Innistrad Booster Pack, 1 automatic pick from the door prize selection.

Free Queue:
1st and 2nd Place: 1 Innistrad Booster Pack, 1 October FNM prize foil
3rd and 4th Place: 1 automatic pick from the door prize selection.

As always, questions, comments and suggestions can be directed to lamoodmagic@gmail.com.

See you in the Blind Eternities!

NEW GRAPHIC NOVELS IN STOCK!!

Two Generals by Scott Chantler
"Told through the eyes of everyday heroes, Two Generals is a story about friendship, and the tragedies and absurdities of war."

"A stunning example of what the graphic form can achieve at it's best."- Toronto Star

Habibi by Craig Thompson
"At once contemporary and timeless, HABIBI gives us a love story of astounding resonance: a parable about our relationship to the natural world, the cultural divide between the first and third worlds, the common heritage of Christianity and Islam, and, most potently, the magic of storytelling."

The kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Since its publication in 2003, nearly 7 million readers have discovered The Kite Runner. Through Khaled Hosseini's brilliant writing, a previously unknown part of the world was brought to vivid life for readers. Now, in this beautifully illustrated graphic novel adaptation, Hosseini brings his compelling story to a new generation of readers.

The Walking Dead Book Seven By Robert Kirkman
Undead madness continues in a hardcover so heavy you could bludgeon
a zombie with it!

Holy Terror by Frank Miller
The controversial new work from visionary creator Frank Millar is finally here! Miller promises it is "bound to offend just about everybody."

2011-10-06T13:16:00.002-04:00

Innistrad: Prerelease into Darkness!

One of the most flavorful sets to come out in a long time, Innistrad's Prerelease is this Sunday! Join us at L.A. Mood to explore this new set for the first time!

Format: Sealed Deck. 6 boosters of Innistrad are provided; from this, construct a deck with a minimum of 40 cards. The rest of your cards are your Sideboard for the duration of the tournament. Lands are provided.

Rounds: Swiss rounds with a cut to Top 8.

Time: Sunday, September 25th. Registration opens at 10:00 am. The Tournament begins at 11:00 am.

Cost: $27, payable at the door.

Rules and Enforcement: This Prerelease is run at a Regular Rules Enforcement Level - same as an FNM.

~ ~ ~

This tournament will feature Pool Registration and Random Checks to ensure that your deck only contains cards from your pool. Pool Registration will be done at the start of the tournament, and will consist of:

1) Opening your booster packs and noting the contents on the provided pool registration sheet.
2) Passing the contents of the packs, along with the registration sheet, to be double-checked by another player (determined by seating).

The Random Checks consist of:

1) Randomly selecting players at the beginning of a round and briefly examining their deck to ensure only cards registered in their pool are in their decks.

There is NO Deck Registration. You are free to change the details of your deck in between rounds as much as you like, provided you are only using cards registered to your personal pool.

~ ~ ~

In addition to all of the above, generous prizes are available to our top-placing participants (Top 8/Top16 based on attendance) and each and every player will receive a free promotional copy of the two-faced Mayor of Avabruck - as well as a 2/2 Wolf Token to go with him!

Don't miss out!

But that's not all! One week later, on Sunday, October 2nd, we'll be hosting an Innistrad Release tournament! Release tournaments are run identically to Prereleases - however, a different promotional card becomes available. Innistrad's Release promo is the truly frightening Ludevic's Test Subject.

And don't forget! Pre-ordering a booster box of Innistrad before this Friday will entitle you to a $100 box cost (tax included), along with a copy of the buy-a-box promo, Devil's Play, for the first 20 customers (other customers will be treated to other goodies as availability lasts)

Don't forget, questions, comments and concerns can be directed to lamoodmagic@gmail.com, 24/7!

Greetings, Spellslingers! August is shaping up to be a pretty exciting month for Magic at L.A. Mood, so here's the first of many posts to keep you updated on all the events and promotions and astounding product coming out!

IMPORTANT! Please make every effort to arrive by the posted start time. I will be more diligent about starting events at the posted start time for the month of August, and it'd be great if you guys could be, too! Note that the start times for all evening events have been officially set at 6:30 pm.

The schedule of events for August 2011 is as follows:

Monday, August 1st - Civil Holiday! Our regularly scheduled draft is CANCELLED for Monday, August 1st. Enjoy the long weekend!
Friday, August 5th - FNM! Standard-legal deck required. 6:30 pm start time, no entry fee.
Sunday, August 7th - L5R Tournament! The Samurai of Rokugan fight for honor, glory and power this Sunday; because of this, our regularly scheduled EDH and casual play event is CANCELLED for Sunday, August 7th.

Monday, August 15th - Monday Night Draft! M12x3. 6:30 pm start time, $12 entry fee, rare re-draft.

Three byes is an exceptionally awesome prize, and M12 Sealed is just the way to earn them! Look for all the details in an upcoming announcement! 11:00 am start time, $30 entry fee.

May's FNM Prize foil is the solid land-fetching staple, Cultivate! Sure to make your Valakut brews that much fancier for their remaining span in Standard, and what's better than a pimped-out Extended deck?

Also, a reminder that it's never to early to pre-order upcoming promotional sets like Premium Decks: Graveborn or Duel Decks: Ajani vs. Bolas. All pre-orders will be honored and if any promotions are announced, they're always retroactively applied to existing pre-orders! It's a can't-lose proposition!

Preorders have been officially closed for FTV: Legends! Additional requests for this exciting set will be accepted; however, no guarantees can be made in regards to availability or price.
As always, questions, comments and suggestions can be directed to lamoodmagic@gmail.com.

See you in the Blind Eternities!

Comicbooklady's Previews Highlights
July

I thought I would try to each month highlight some interesting product that is in the latest Previews to generate preorders. Remember, the stuff in the July Previews will be shipping starting in September....so it is not too early to think about Halloween or even Christmas shopping!

Halloween Comics instead of Candy!
Speaking of Halloween, it's time to order your Halloween Mini Comics. Last year I made up mixed packages of 5 of each of the comics for people to give away at Halloween instead of candy. They were a great success! This year's titles include Scary Godmother, Archie's Laugh, Snarked!, Donald Duck,Casper's Scare School, Fraggle Rock, Smurfs, Mameshiba On the Loose.

Buffy Season 9
Joss Whedon and Andrew Chambliss (Vampire Diaries) work together to write season 9 of Buffy in comics!

Drinky Crow
Cool t-shirts and party light strands based on Tony Millionaire's Drinky Crow character. Everyone needs a t-shirt with a drunken crow on it!

DC Relaunch
The relaunch of 52 DC titles begins, too many to name here but let us know which ones you want on your list. Check out this list here. Also special note, Canadian Jeff Lemire will be doing Animal Man and Frankenstein Agent of SHADE.

Marzi TP
A story about a young girl growing up in communist Poland. It is "a compelling and powerful coming of age story that portrays the harsh realities of life behind the Iron Curtain while maintaining the everyday wonders and curiosity of childhood."

IDW
IDW is launching a couple more "it was popular in the 80's" licensed comic book titles....Ghostbusters and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Game of Thrones comic book.
Self explanatory. Board Game sold out. I can't find the pocketbook anywhere in the city. Blame it on the popular HBO tv series!

Walking Dead TV Action Figures
Don't groan you knew it would happen! from McFarlane Toys

Walking Dead TV Board Game
Take on the role of Rick, Andrea or one of the other survivors and scrounge for weapons and tools, keep your eyes open but watch your back! from Crytozoic Games.

Walking Dead Comic Board Game
The difference is in the art...I think. This game can be played solo as well as cooperative, brought to you by Zman Games.

Walking Dead Halloween Costumes
Pre-orders only, we will not be stocking these. Rick Grimes, Decomposed Zombie, Little Girl Zombie, and Decayed Zombie adult masks, etc, you get the idea. Check out the Previews at the counter for pics and details of these and other Halloween costumes offered.
So check out July's previews and give us your preorders before July 22.

Upcoming: The New Phyrexia Game Day Extravaganza!

Hello, Magic players!

As you know, one month following a set's release is the set's Game Day. This June 12th, join me and your fellow players at L.A. Mood to compete for prizes and glory in a New Phyrexia Standard event!

When: Sunday, June 12th. 10:00 am registration, 11:00 am start time.

Entry Requirements: One (1) Standard-legal deck and sideboard. Decklist required, and required for eligibility for the factionalized deck prizes. No entry fee.

Format: Swiss rounds with no cut to Top 8. Top 8 prizes are awarded based on standings after the Swiss rounds.

Prizes: All participants receive a copy of the participation prize: The impressive full-art Priest of Urabrask (while supplies last)

Top 8 finishers will also receive a copy of the enormous full-art Myr Superion.

New Phyrexia's game day will once again feature factionalized decks! The top two placements with a factionalized deck (min. 10 cards of one faction and no cards of the other) will also receive a copy of Myr Superion!

In addition, New Phyrexia Game Day will again feature two exciting side events: $15 Keep-What-You-Draft 8-4 NPH/MBS/SOM Drafts, and $15 Standard Win-A-Box 8-man queues!

In order to help ensure the side events fire, I'm strongly encouraging everyone to e-mail me ahead of time to "pre-queue" for a side event. Pre-queuing doesn't cost you a penny and there's no commitment to play - it's simply expressing your interest in drafting or Win-A-Box events so I can offer clear numbers to other interested players on Game Day! All entrants into side events will receive an additional copy of Priest of Urabrask and the first-place finisher will receive a copy of Myr Superion! (while supplies last).

As always, questions, comments and suggestions can be e-mailed to lamoodmagic@gmail.com. Pre-queue requests too!

The Random Checks consist of:

1) Randomly selecting players at the beginning of a round and briefly examining their deck to ensure only cards registered in their pool are in their decks.

There is NO Deck Registration. You are free to change the details of your deck in between rounds as much as you like, provided you are only using cards registered to your personal pool.

~ ~ ~

In addition to all of the above, generous prizes are available to our top-placing participants (Top 8/Top16 based on attendance) and each and every player will receive a free promotional copy of the outstanding Sheoldred, the Whispering One, a card that practically shouts "Put me in your EDH deck!"

L.A. Mood is proud to announce all the details for the upcoming National Qualifier Tournament!

Hello, Magic players of all of London! As you've likely heard by now, L.A. Mood has been selected to hand out to one lucky player a personal invitation to compete in the Canadian National Magic Championships!

So, how are we to decide on which player to send to this prestigious event? With a gentlemanly Standard Tournament, of course! Our National Qualifier Tournament is being held on Saturday, April 23rd. Registration opens at 10:00 a.m. and closes at 10:45 a.m., with the tournament beginning strictly at 11:00 a.m.

The Main Event!

Entry into our Tournament is a $10 fee, payable at the door. This $10 fee included both the cost of entry and a free lunch voucher for Los Comales, good for one Burrito or Chimichanga and a side of fries.

All players will be required to submit the following to the tournament organizer (myself) at time of entry:

- One (1) complete, legibly written or typed decklist detailing the exact name and number of each of the cards in your deck and sideboard, which must each be 60 and 15 cards, respectively.

Failure to submit a decklist may result in your expulsion from the tournament.

Important! This tournament is 32K and run at a Competitive REL. This means that the rules of Magic will be strictly enforced, including the time limit of 50 minutes per round!

The tournament is Swiss Rounds, like a Standard FNM, with Top 4 or Top 8 playoffs depending on attendance. Playoffs have no time limit but players are expected to maintain a reasonable pace of play.

In addition to the National Invition, Top 8 or Top 16 finishers (depending on attendance) will be eligible for additional prizes!

Side Events!

So long as store product supplies and interest exists, Side Events will be run throughout the day. These Side Events will consist of:

1) 8-man Standard Single-Elimination Win-A-Box.

2) 8-man MBS/SOM/SOM Draft Single-Elimination tournaments with 8-4 draft payout.

All Side event entry fees are $15. Sealed product and lands are provided for Draft side events. Side Events will begin as soon as table space has been secured for the expected duration of the event.

And that's it! Feel free to e-mail me with any questions or comments regarding this exciting Magic opportunity! lamoodmagic@gmail.com

The FNM prize foil for this month is the Standard-staple Wall of Omens! While it's not a part of the default 75 for UW control builds these days, it certainly made its splash when it was first released in Rise of the Eldrazi, and may just do so again before rotation in the Fall. Foil out your playset this month in anticipation!

Mirrodin Besieged Game Day - Sunday, March 6th, 2011!

Game Day is fast approaching! With the results of Paris behind us, I'm sure you're all anxious to come out to L.A. Mood to test your own take on the Standard decks of the day against all-comers to compete for the fabulous prizes available!

Like Friday Night Magic events, Game Day is a Standard tournament; however, there are a few extra tweaks to make the day just a little more exciting!

All participants will recieve a copy of the sure-to-be-outstanding full-art Treasure Mage. Top 8 finishers will recieve a copy of the amazing full-art Black Sun's Zenith.

In addition, the Top 2 finishers with "affiliated" decks will get a copy of either Suture Priest or Pristine Talisman, based on their deck's affiliation. This is in addition to any other prize you might earn, and you can earn these promos without placing in the Top 8:

How can you make an "affiliated" deck?

"Affiliated" decks contain NO cards watermarked with the opposing faction's symbol, and a MINIMUM of 10 cards watermarked with the affiliated factions's symbol. For example, a "Mirran" deck could not run copies of Into the Core (Phyrexian), and would have to have at least 10 cards watermarked like Ardent Recruit (Mirran). Cards without watermarks from previous sets, like the Zendikar Block or M11, do not count for or against your affiliation. Notice, as well, that Tezzeret has no watermark - he's neither Mirran nor Phyrexian! Before you declare your faction, double-check your card list and make sure you're all right!

Standard tournament rules apply - 60 card decks, 15 card sideboards, from Standard-legal sets only (Zendikar, Worldwake, Rise of the Eldrazi, Magic 2011, Scars of Mirrodin and Mirrodin Besieged). In addition,

1) There in NO entry fee. Prize support will be similar to an FNM, with a few extra goodies I've socked away for special occasions!

2) Sanctioned Side Drafts are available all day!

Start time is at 11:00 a.m.

See you all on Game Day!

An Important Announcement for our Magic Players

Hello, FNM players, drafters and Sunday casuals!

Just a quick announcement to remind you that our events on Friday, February 11th and Monday, February 14th will be run by our capable friend, Mark Wells. Mark will be provided with all the prizes and product you're used to seeing on those days

Our usual Sunday casual event on Sunday, February 13th has been cancelled, but will resume the following Sunday!

In addition, I will not be in the store between Tuesday, February 8th and Thursday, February 17th. My apologies for the inconvenience. I will do my utmost to ensure the store binders are well-stocked prior to me absence and that the store has an updated buylist if you're looking to sell your cards to us! I will be entirely unavailable during that time, so unfortunately, there will be no response at lamoodmagic@gmail.com if you e-mail me then. Sorry!

See you all this Friday for our normal FNM! Remember: Mirrodin Besieged is legal for play and the store will have a full supply of all the cards you need!
