MTG ‘Dragons of Tarkir’ Fat Pack Challenge – THIS Friday! Join us!

Tuesday, March 24th, 2015

The highly anticipated Fat Pack Challenge is back for Dragon’s of Tarkir!

Dragons of Tarkir (DTK) will be released on Friday, March 27th 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, but with a Fat Pack!

The Battleground Games & Hobbies Dragons of Tarkir Fat Pack Challenge is taking place THIS coming Friday night 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 Dragons of Tarkir Fat Pack!

The concept of a Fat Pack Challenge is pretty simple. Each player will receive an Dragons 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. 23
We’ve got two of these events for you, one at each Battleground location:

Abington and Plainville:
Format: **Fat Pack Sealed**
Date: March 27th – THIS FRIDAY
Time: 7:00pm
Entrance Fee: $40.00
