Gensys
We will run a Yu Gi Oh Tournament on march 28 using the new Gensys system of building a deck.Somewhat similar to Warhammer 40,000, Yu gi Oh cards are now assigned points and players build a deck using the assigned number of points for the tournament. Many cards cost zero point so you can put up to three in the deck at no cost, while more powerful cards cost 20 or 30 points limiting the number in the deck.

Lorwyn Eclipsed
Looks as if we have a small order of Lorywn eclisped arriving tomorrow or Monday. After that, according to WotC, we cannot expect a restock until the fourth quarter of 2026. Why? Because the company has a lot of product in the printing pipeline already: reprints of Play boosters for Final Fantasy, Spider Man, Lord of the Rings, as well as the products releasing this year.
