Dinosaurs vs. Pirates! Enjoy the Standard of Ixalan!

It’s Ittetu of Hareruya Media!

This weekend, a BIG Standard event will be held in Takadanobaba, Tokyo! Yes, at the other side of our proud flagship store, Hareruya Tournament Center Tokyo!

The Magic: the Gathering Super Appreciation Festival will be held on Saturday, December 9 at Belle Salle Takadanobaba, offering a players’ convention-like festival dedicated to Standard!

Let’s take a look at what kind of event it is!

Venue is Just Near Hareruya TC Tokyo!

The venue, Belle Salle Takadanobaba, is located near Takadanobaba station, which is near Hareruya Tournament Center Tokyo!

We hope you will stop by Hareruya Tournament Center Tokyo after the event also!

Takadanobaba is a fun place for Magic fans since there are many other magic stores in the area, such as “Game Shop TODO” and “BATOROCO TC Takadanobaba“!

While Takadanobaba is a mecca for magic, it is also a battleground for famous ramen restaurants. We recommend stopping by a ramen restaurant when getting some food!

Entrance is free! What can you do?

As with the Players Convention, entry to the event venue is free!

There will also be booths at the venue for visitors to enjoy shopping.

There will also be stage events at the venue by “Yui Tokiwa,” who loves Magic so much that she even went to the Pro Tour to cover the event, and “Tomo-nyan,” who loves Magic so much that she started running her own card store! This event is also free to watch!

Magic Events

The stage events look fun, but I bet you would want to enjoy playing magic also!

Visitors can participate in three different events! In exchange for a …… coupon!

Of course, you need to pay to get the coupons ……, but you can get 6 coupons by purchasing 3 packs of the “The Lost Caverns” set booster (2,000 yen including tax), which is sold at the venue.

You can get three set booster packs in exchange for 2,000 yen. At this point, it’s a great 1-for-1 exchange. Since an event ticket is attached to this, this is a one-for-two exchange.

In other words? It is practically free to go play!
*This is Ittetu’s own perspective.

But some of you may be thinking ……, “I already have got a full set of cards from the new Ixalan at Hareruya, so I don’t need them anymore!” If so, you probably don’t have this …… “Fairy Tales” animated borderless version of “《Necropotence》” playmat and sleeve!

The 6,600 yen participation pack includes a limited edition playmat, a limited edition sleeves, and a pack of Eclipse sleeves from special sponsor UltraPRO. This alone is a one-for-one exchange, plus 16 event participation coupons come along! In addition, the Year of the Rabbit promo card and a special bag are also included!

This event is a great value, just buy a participation pack or a booster pack!

Let’s take a look at what you can do with the event ticket you get in such a favorable exchange.

[4 Coupons] Booster Blitz

Limited using a single booster pack. You can enjoy a super casual limited format while having fun opening your packs!

Cards from the packs used in the match are all yours to take home!

[7 Coupons] Chaos Shield 4-Player Flight

This is a Sealed event using 2 packs of “The Lost Caverns” and a random Standard pack. You may be able to make a combo that cannot happen in a normal limited game.

Maybe you can generate an infinite mana combo?

Here, too, of course, you can take home the cards from the opened packs!

[2 Coupons] Pirates vs. Dinosaurs

Play a round of Standard BO3 with your deck! Participants will be pre-sorted into “Team Pirates” and “Team Dinosaurs” and the number of wins will be recorded for each team, and everyone will receive a promo card along with the results of the game!

Unlike the “BO3/3 rounds” often held at Hareruya and other venues, it is possible to use a different deck for each round, so it is possible to bring many decks you want to try out! It will be fun to change the structure of your deck for each round, or to add cards you can get at the booths that you have been longing for.

Stamp Card

Stamp cards will be filled according to game wins and losses. You can get gorgeous prizes by collecting stamps!

For example, in Pirates vs. Dinosaurs, if you go 2-1 in the first round of BO3, you will get 4 stamps. If you get 20 stamps, you can exchange them for a playmat! Super cute artwork of a Cheeky House-Mouse and a Regal Bunnicorn!

Onward, to Takadanobaba!

Even if you usually enjoy magic in Takadanobaba, this is a great opportunity for you to come and visit the place to play Magic, Takadanobaba!

And please visit Hareruya Tournament Center Tokyo, the largest Magic: The Gathering exclusive store in Japan! We will have many events to play on December 9th!

See you all in Takadanobaba!
