BFZ Event and Intro Pack Lists

~
Happy Thursday MTG peeps,

The Battle for Zendikar PreRelease events are taking place this weekend and Magic: the Gathering players are quite understandably rather excited for this.  If you are heading into a local gaming store (like OMG! Games in Barrie, Ontario like we are), we suggest you may wish to review the Battle for Zendikar Release Notes so that you are well prepared.  For today's post, we are letting you know that the decklists for the Battle for Zendikar Event Deck and Intro Packs were posted today on the mothersite (linky over here).  For now, here is a brief summary of contents -

Ultimate Sacrifice Event Deck 

The theme is described within the name of this deck - sacrifice creatures and tokens to your benefit.  Battle for Zendikar Event Deck releases 2nd October and is a perfect way to jump into a Standard tournament, like Friday Night Magic, with a powerful deck.  For an MSRP of about $25 you get the following :
• One Ready-to-play 60-card deck
• A 15-card Sideboard
• One Spindown life counter
• A Strategy insert
• All within one Deck Box

There are five different Battle for Zendikar Intro Packs releasing on 2nd October each featuring a theme along and showcasing new mechanics from the set. These are great for introducing new Magic players to Battle for Zendikar.  For an MRSP of about $15, you get the following:
• One Ready-to-play 60-card deck featuring a foil premium card
• TWO Battle for Zendikar 15-card booster packs
• A Strategy Insert
• A learn-to-play guide
