#amonkhet prerelease

The larger blogs are giving the good advice on how to play, and others are giving blessings. That’s not the case for me. Yes, I hope you all pull the cards you want and win your events, but I feel there are some important things that need to be said. If this is your first event, best of luck. Draft and sealed events drastically help your local FLGS, and help shape the crowds that frequent your stores. Another thing is that it might bring in new players, and you might make some new friends. These are some rules you should follow for all sealed events. Rules For Everyone! - If you’re doing a midnight event. Make sure you napped before hand. Magic is tiring as is, but with lack of sleep. Bad plays will happen. -Make sure to bring something to eat or drink. That isn’t just Soda or chips. Yes, support your FLGS, and buy water from them, and a snack bar. Just make sure to eat well. Magic on a growling, Soda pumped stomach is just going to lead to a Super Saiyan level of horribleness. If your store allows for outside food, bring a sandwich, or something you like to eat (that isn’t too messy). - Sleeves are good. Doesn’t matter if you pulled Jank. Remember your card sleeves! Shuffling is so much easier! - Keep an eye on your stuff. Sleeves help differentiate your cards from your opponents. While yes, thieves are out there. Sometimes by card effects, we have to exchange something. Please remember your cards at all costs. - Remember your Dice/ Playmat/ cellphone charger. Batteries die, bring your spare or charger! Dice and playmats are just things you need. Rules for Veterans! Yeah, there are rules for us old timers too. - Watch out for our female players. For all of the Gods on Amonkhet. Protect them, do not insult their reason for being at the store. Do not hit on them, do not treat them like a prize. Report the harassment to your Judge/ T.O, Magic is for everyone. - Watch out for our LGBTQA players. Just like our female players. Protect them. If you see someone start shit. Report it to your Judge/ T.O. Like above, Magic is for everyone! - Watch out for anyone new! - Remember, not every player researches the set. Please be patient while players read their cards. -Also, some of us have learning disabilities/ disabilities.  Please be patient with us. Card text can be small, or some just too much of it. If your local store has a Judge or Rules Adviser, please let your opponent know, so if they have questions, or look confused. They can get the help they need. - Remind people, especially new players, that they can ask questions. We all started somewhere. Don’t scoff or belittle a player with questions. You can ruin someones experience. That hurts the store, and the game. Also, this is a new set. Questions are going to be abound.

- Alert new players that they can keep their cards. Alert them of the rarity system, and how to check the prices for cards. Do not let new players get scammed. 

Rules for New Players! - Watch out for our female players. For all of the Gods on Amonkhet. Protect them, do not insult their reason for being at the store. Do not hit on them, do not treat them like a prize. Report the harassment to your Judge/ T.O Magic is for everyone.  - Watch out for our LGBTQA players. Just like our female players. Protect them. If you see someone start shit. Report it to your Judge/ T.O. Like above, Magic is for everyone! - Watch out for anyone new!
