RCQ Pioneer, July 8

Join Just Games on July 8 for our competitive level round 4 qualifier for Dreamhack! This round features new promos, and an invite for 1st. We’ll be hosting a Pioneer RCQ, from 11 am to 9 pm. This event has some limitations on seating, so preregistration is encouraged.

Instructions for decklists will be emailed out to the email associated with your in-store membership the week prior to this event – check there as well for a primer, a decklist, and for answers to your burning questions. If you can’t find answers there, email sales@justgamesroc.com. 

We are taking a different approach to this event. Registration is just $5, and prizes are the promo cards and the invites.

Path to the Pros – the RCQ

With William “Huey” Jensen recently put at the helm of Play Programs at WotC, there was a bit of hope that he’d be able to bring the player perspective to bare and deliver some welcomed changes. Well, Spoiler Alert, this announcement is FANTASTIC! Let’s take a look at it.

The long and short of everything here is that the Pro Tour is back! No longer are we calling it “Players Tours”, and gone is convoluted ways to qualify for these events. Here’s the graphic for the path to the Pro Tour for paper play.
