‘Fate Reforged’ Has Arrived!

Friday, January 23rd, 2015

The high-anticipated second set in the Khans of Tarkir block, Fate Reforged has finally arrived TODAY at Battleground Games & Hobbies! Pick up the single cards you’ve been waiting for, booster boxes, packs and more. Battleground Games & Hobbies is you one-stop shop for all your Magic the Gathering needs! You can also order all these items from our online store and have them shipped right to your door, too.

Plus, please don’t forget to join us this evening for our special Fat Pack Challenge event, held the release day of every new Magic set! Check out the details below. We look forward to seeing you there!

Battleground’s Fat Pack Challenge is back for Fate Reforged!

Fate Reforged (FRF) will be released on Friday, January 23rd and we will have a full line-up of events for you to crack packs, build decks and play Magic at both of our stores! The weekend will kick off with our flagship Sealed Deck style event.

The Battleground Fat Pack Challenge is taking place on Friday night, 1/23/15, at both locations (run as our FNM). These are the ultimate sealed events – where you open packs, build a deck and play with just the contents of a Fate Reforged Fat Pack!

The concept of a Fat Pack Challenge is pretty simple. Each player will receive an Fate Reforged Fat Pack with which to build a 40 card deck. Players may use ONLY what is inside of their Fat Pack to construct their decks. No additional land will be provided!

This time instead of awarding prizes randomly throughout the event, EVERYONE that enrolls into the Fat Pack Challenge will receive a Battleground playmat at the beginning of the event! (while supplies last) Player’s in the event will be competing for glory and a super sweet commemorative plaque. No other prizes will be award for this event.

We’ve got two of these events for you, one at each Battleground location:

Abington and Plainville:
Format: **Fat Pack Sealed**
Date: January 23rd, 2015 a FRIDAY
Time: 7:00pm
Entrance Fee: $40.00
