Next weekend is Ravnica Weekend at my FLGS The Hobbit Hole, and many others.

But what does this mean?

Well just over a week later, around the 20th November WotC are releasing their MtG and D&D crossover product Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica. So on Ravnica Weekend my FLGS is running a preview adventure from Guildmaster’s Guide to Ravnica.

Plus along side this D&D/MtG taster/preview stores can run “four-pack Booster Drafts with Guilds of Ravnica and award participants with a Ravnica foil basic land. They can also host casual Guild Kit battles with the Ravnica Guild Kits.” My FLGS is holding just the draft after the D&D/MtG taster/preview. There is also the potential for a Standard Showdown happening for those that don’t want to take part in the D&D stuff. But that’s not guaranteed. Sadly no Guild Kit battles at my FLGS, but that’s because they sold out of the stock they got in.

I’m hoping this animated GIF by WotC works. It should show the promo foil basic lands you get for taking part in the booster draft.

There are also 10 Guild prints to be used to support the drafting.

WotC through their WPN program are tracking by the looks of it the participation for both types of event for the weekend. Which I can see why. They want to know how successful this new format is, and if it’s worth doing again. It’s nice to see them try different things.

So you can see it’s a very busy weekend for MtG, more so than normal.
