Aetherdrift Pre-release - Sunday February 16th @ 11am

• This year

Foundations Jumpstart - January

• Think it is best to make this Week of the 20th towards the end so that we have both enough time to advertise and not crowding things up too much (Will talk about this more in the Draft section)
  • Checking date against Warhammer RPG event just in case
• Pushed back, but we do now have the resources
  • the jumpstart boxes
• $26 entry price
  • Gets you four Jumpstart packs, of which you choose two to make a deck with
  • Have received feedback that $26 is a cringe amount, which is fair.
    • $25 would be better, I think I miscalculated last time, but $25 entry gives us like 90c profit
  • Will finish EMP and Advertisement > Josh: EMP and Advertisement for MTG: Foundations Jumpstart

MTG Club Deck Updates

Streets of New Capenna Draft - ???

• Think it is best, given how hectic magic is going to be soon, we recommend that next committee run this early in semester.
  • This was written by Josh, rest of committee agrees > Josh: Make Streets of New Capenna Draft EMP and Advertising

Wargaming

Introductory Painting day - Mid-February

• nupdates
• Perhaps a paid event:
