Format: Sealed Deck*
Date: September 24th and September 25th, 2011 a Saturday and Sunday
Time: Saturday at 2:00pm, Sunday at 2:00pm

Sealed Deck: Each player receives SIX packs of Innistrad to use for building a deck.  Battleground will supply basic lands.

Date: September 24th, 2011 a Saturday
Time: 12:01am and 8:00pm
Entrance Fee: $15.00 per person

Booster Draft: Each Player will receive THREE packs of Innistrad. At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can’t see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted.

Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again. At the end of the draft, each player has forty-five cards-and unlimited basic lands-to build a deck with.

What Else Can I Do?
