Joining the Journey into Nyx League, you will be given the opportunity to play with the newest cards in an on-going, four-week league. There will be prizes, and players can complete achievements for fun and excitement.
Theros 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 20 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 Jounrey into Nyx 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.
Prizes will be awarded on Monday, June 9th, following the conclusion of the league. Prizes will be provided based on league match standings and will be based on overall attendance / participation.
*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!

Journey into Nyx Fat Pack Challenge – TONIGHT!
Friday, May 2nd, 2014
Join us tonight at Battleground Games & Hobbies for the Journey into Nyx Fat Pack Challenge!
Abington and Plainville:
Format: **Fat Pack Sealed**
Date: May 2nd, 2014 a FRIDAY
Time: 7:00pm
Entrance Fee: $40.00
Abington:
1423 Bedford Street
Abington MA 02351
781.261.9669
Plainville:
25 Taunton Street
Plainville MA 02762
508.316.1195
Journey into Nyx will be released on Friday, May 2nd 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, 5/2/14, 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 a Journey into Nyx Fat Pack!
The concept of a Fat Pack Challenge is pretty simple. Each player will receive a Journey into Nyx 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!
After building your deck players will compete to win prizes like T-Shirts, playmats, deck boxes, Magic promos, and one lucky winner will take home a plaque commemorating their victory.
We’ve got two of these events for you, one at each Battleground Games & Hobbies location! See you there!
