To celebrate Halloween this year, Battleground Games & Hobbies is changing it up once again with the latest take on our Magic Halloween event! Players are invited to show up in costume (or not, that’s okay too – see below) with a Modern legal “Themed” deck (and sideboard).
Deck Construction Details:
This year we’re asking players to construct decks entirely around one (and only one) “Halloween themed” creature type. Creatures of a type different than the one you’ve chosen are not allowed.
Players will be given 12 slots in their deck to fill with cards that are not basic lands or the creature type they’ve built their deck around.
Legal creature types include:
bat
demon
devil
gargoyle
graveborn
gremlin
hag
horror
imp
nightmare
nightstalker
ooze
scarecrow
shade
skeleton
specter
spirit
vampire
weird
werewolf
wraith
zombie
Abington and Plainville:
Format: **Special Format, see above**
Date: October 31st, 2014 a Friday
Time: 7:30pm
Entrance Fee: $5.00 (FREE if you’re in costume)
OTHER FNM EVENTS WILL TAKE PLACE AS NORMAL.

Khans of Tarkir (KTK) will be released on Friday, September 26th 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, 9/26/14, 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 an Khans of Tarkir Fat Pack!
The concept of a Fat Pack Challenge is pretty simple. Each player will receive an Khans of Tarkir 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 around we’ll be awarding the prizes a little differently than before. During the deck building period, each player that enrolled in the event will receive 1 raffle ticket. An additional raffle ticket will be awarded to players for every match they win. Raffle tickets will be pooled throughout the event.
Battleground will do several drawings each round. If your ticket is drawn you’ll win 3 booster packs of Khans! We know you’ll want to open as much of this set as possible, so we’ve got you covered.
The booster pack raffle will be accompanied by other random giveaways that might include playmats, pins, and tshirts.
We’ve got two of these events for you, one at each Battleground location:
