We also have our Magic Draft Reward Program - buy into 5 Drafts, get your 6th Draft free.  We hold Drafts every Friday at 6 and 8pm as part of Friday Night Magic, so it's easy to take part and earn free cards!

Employee's picks:
 
Jeff's pick: Super Dungeon Explore
SDE(Soda Pop Minis, $99.99)

Super Dungeon Explore is an expandable strategy board game for 2 or more players, combining the fun of traditional dungeon crawls with a unique retro arcade/video game feel (similar to Gauntlet) featuring anime heroes battling hordes of minions and huge monsters in a dungeon full of traps and treasure.  Designed to be an homage to classic console and arcade games, Super Dungeon Explore has a ton of detailed components, versatility, and replayability. Easy to learn, difficult to master - truly a fast paced tabletop strategy game! 

 

Mark's pick: Necron Doomscythe/Nightscythe

lol robots(Games Workshop, $45.50)

The latest additions to the soulless legions of the Necrons.  Either a destructive flyer (the Doomscythe) with the aptly-named Death Ray or a fast transport (the Nightscythe) with the ability to teleport Necrons where you need them. 

 

Inari's pick: Planechase
Planechase(Wizards, $19.99) 
Four new Planechase decks (Chaos Reigns, Night of the Ninja, Primordial Hunger, and Savage Auras) contain all-new planar decks that contain a new kind of oversized card, and an assortment of new, Eternal-legal Magic cards.  Each deck has eight new plane cards and two new phenomenon cards, and these cards are not shared between decks; there are a total of 32 new planes and 8 new phenomena.  Awesome! 

 

Sirus picks: The Wormwood Mutiny adventure packs
Yarr matey(Paizo, $19.99)
Pirates take whatever they please, whether it be ships, plunder, or people! The adventurers wake to find themselves press-ganged into the crew of the pirate ship Wormwood, the vessel of the nefarious Captain Barnabus Harrigan (Barney to his friends). They'll have to learn how to survive as pirates if they're to have any hope of weathering rough waves, brutal crew members, enemy pirates, ravenous beasts, and worse. Rum not included. 

Thank you for your business!  We appreciate you!
