Planeswalker Achievements and Rewards Program.

Are you up to P.A.R.?

The Magic PAR Program is designed to introduce new players into Magic: the Gathering as well as keep veteran players looking for more! As a new Planeswalker the Magic multiverse, this program will help a player earn free rewards, like booster packs and foil promo cards. For veteran Planeswalkers, this program is set up as a way to continue enjoying magic and try play different formats. All PAR-takers in the program will have the chance to win free stuff just for playing Magic. The PAR program is a free program and open to Planeswalkers of all ages, skill level and deck size! (It sounds funny but when you win something for having the deck with the most cards in it, it will be even better!)

The PAR program contains a list of achievements. A player can complete any number of achievements at any time. They must be completed here at the store. Each achievement can only be done once per person. There isn’t a time limit in which they must be completed. For example, one of the achievements is “Attend five Wednesday Night Magic Open Play Sessions.” Someone can complete this by coming five weeks in a row, or he/she could come once a month five times. The progress is tracked here in the store on your PAR progress sheet. In order to receive credit for an achievement, the player must have a staff member confirm and record it on the progress sheet. The achievements span a wide range of fun and tournament style objectives, like build an Elder Dragon Highlander deck or win 10 tournament matches. For the veteran players there is even a “Teach a New Player” achievement. There are plenty of achievements to do in the program and we will always be adding more.

As players complete achievements, they will receive rewards. The rewards range from foil promo cards to booster packs, as well as coupons. The harder the achievement the greater the reward! The more achievements a player completes the more free stuff he/she earns!

Here's the list of achievements, how to complete them and what you get for completing them!

Rewards are subject to change with out notice and at any time. "Promo Card" rewards are players choice prizes and are based on cards in stock only. "Booster Pack" rewards are limited to standard format in stock selection only and excludes the newest set.

Welcome to 2010!

With the turn of the new year, we figured we would bring Magic events to you seven days a week!

Here's the new weekly Magic schedule:
Mondays 6:00pm: Standard Format
Tuesdays 6:00pm: Extended Format
Wednesdays 6:00pm: Booster Draft
Thursdays 6:30pm: Legacy Format
Fridays 6:00pm: FNM (Standard Format)
Saturdays 11:00am: Sealed Deck
Sundays 11:30am: Sealed Deck

Starting January 5th, Play the Game will be holding Extended format events every Tuesday night at 6:00pm. Extended format includes cards from the following sets: Ninth Edition, Tenth Edition, Magic 2010, Mirrodin, Darksteel, Fifth Dawn, Champions of Kamigawa, Betrayers of Kamigawa, Saviors of Kamigawa, Ravnica: City of Guilds, Guildpact, Dissension, Coldsnap, Time Spiral, Planar Chaos, Future Sight, Lorwyn, Morningtide, Shadowmoor, Eventide, Shards of Alara, Conflux, Alara Reborn, Zendikar, Worldwake (effective February 5, 2010), and last but not least, Rise of the Eldrazi (effective April 23, 2010). There is a very short banned list of cards that cannot be played: Aether Vial, Disciple of the Vault, Sensei's Divining Top and Skullclamp.

Extended format is like an "Extended" Standard format. There is a larger card pool and can be more fun to play. I just can't wait to play Watch Wolf again!

We're going to offer you guys a deal! If you show up to any two extended events in January we'll let you play in the third one for free!

I'll see you here!
