From MTG Salvation, Khans of Tarkir is the 65th Magic: the Gathering expansion, and the first in the Khans of Tarkir block. Tarkir is a world embattled with ambitious warlords and powerful clans that wage eternal war for supremacy of their plane, a conflict that spans over a thousand years. Tarkir is also the home plane of the planeswalker Sarkhan Vol. Tarkir was previously inhabited by dragons, all of whom were killed before Sarkhan’s arrival. The clans each worship one aspect of the extinct dragons.
Anime Kat offers several events whenever a new set is about to be released. Always first is the prerelease event. The First Khans Prerelease event was the largest event Anime Kat has ever hosted. With 33 total players, the event lasted for 6 rounds. Congrats to all of the winners from the two days of prerelease events.
The following Friday, we hosted the Khans of Tarkir Release event. The event was a 3 round Draft. Cliff and Troy earned 1st and 2nd place respectively. Our top top 2 players competed the following night against Dragonrail’s (another local store) top 2 players to earn the title of Top Khans of Tarkir Player and earning their store the Title of Top Store for the Khans of Tarkir Release. Congrats to Cliff for winning the title for himself and Anime Kat.
The last major event during the release of a new set is the Game Day. Game Day is a Standard Format tournament that gives players a chance to play with the newest cards. Allow players at Anime Kat walk out with promotional cards. The Top 8 earn additional foil promotional cards, and the 1st Place winner also receives a Champion mat. For this Game Day, Anime Kat owner Drew took 1st place running a Jeskai Tempo deck. However, Greg (2nd place) and Will (3rd) were very close behind. The final standings were based off of Opponent’s Match Win Percentage (you get more points for beating a player with a higher standing).
The next set in the Tarkir block, Fate Reforged, is released January 23, 2015. We hope to see you at one of our events.
