The Games Club Xmas Ironman 22/12/2007
 

INTRODUCTION

This event includes a Christmas Buffet for all participants. Additional tickets for the Christmas Buffet are available at a cost of £5 each.

 

In an Ironman tournament any time a card leaves play for any zone other than a player's hand or library it is physically destroyed by whatever method the controlling player sees fit.

 

Players receive a single Lorwyn Tournament Pack to build their deck from (usual deck construction rules apply). All matches comprise of a single game. The winner of each match receives any non-destroyed cards belonging to their opponent (including any not in a player's deck). They can then build a new deck using their new card pool.
