What Happens There?

Joing the M14 League, you will be given the opportunity to play with the newest cards in an on-going, five-week league. There will be prizes, and players can complete achievements for fun and excitement.

M14 League matches can be played at ANY time, not just the Monday nights of League meetings.  Feel free to play in between rounds of draft, FNM, or whenever else League participants are in the store.

Over the course of the league, you will be able to add more boosters to your league deck.

Each participant will record the results of their first 5 matches per week, for a total of 25 match results over the course of the league. Players are encouraged to play much more than the 5 matches per week so that other players can find games easily.  Also, players joining the M14 League late can play extra matches to catch up!

Players will receive 2 points for a Match Win, and 1 point for a Match Loss or a Draw.

Players may not record results from the same opponent until they have completed a match and recorded results with two other players beforehand.

Example: Calvin can not record results from playing Chase a second time until he's played and recorded matches with two other people.


What Do I Get?

• Six booster packs of Core Set 2014. (You may purchase up to 2 additional M14 booster packs weekly to improve your league deck.)
• Storage box and 50 pack of sleeves
A BRAND NEW Battleground Playmat (given out at the 3rd League Meeting)
• A league exclusive promo Sliver Token (while supplies last)
• DCI registration and number (if needed)


League matches played during the M14 Game Day event (8/10 or 8/11) will receive a bonus booster pack.

League standings will be posted weekly on Monday nights.

Prize awards will be made Monday, August 26th, following the conclusion of the league play. Prize awards at the end of the league play will be provided based on league match standings and will be based on overall attendance.

*You may not use any cards from pre-release/release, drafts or FNM events.


Come down, play some cards, check out the new set, and meet some new people!

Nope.  They may or may not ever be on sale.  Each store is getting a relatively small number of them.  If we have more mats than we do league players, they may end up on sale.

It's perfect for new players.

It's very casual and should offer plenty of time to think about and talk about your deck with lots of other people.

I'm not even going to pretend to say that I'm not 95% playing this league JUST for that playmat (+6 packs and sleeves are a nice bonus)

Guess it helps that I don't want to flip the table any time I play against someone slightly new.

But really have you seen that playmat?

What did you guys do to get these awesome new playmats and will you potentially have other new playmats ever like this?

Battleground does NOT own the art used on this playmat and once they're gone they're gone for good.

It was a one time only thing.  Each store is getting a limited number of them.

I think I'm going to sign up for the league today at Abington. If anyone is gonna be there with their league decks I'd like to try to get my 5 matches in for this week. I'll probably be there early and will be staying for standard so there will be plenty of time to play me.

I set up a Facebook group for the Plainville League. It's not required, but I thought it might be very helpful letting everyone else in the League know when you are available to play. Hit up Chase or I for an invite.

It felt like there was a really good response to the league so far.  Is there somewhere we can look to see our current standings?  I suspect that (probably for the first and last time) I am near the top of the Abington store league - at least for week one. 

Can't wait to get a couple more packs and update my deck!
