*It was a slow day in StillPoint that day, like most monday's. People came in and out to buy a pack of card's or a comic book. Heck! There was even the rarity of someone actually come in to buy a role-playing book like the Dungeon's and Dragon's core rulebook. But yeah, as was said this was a rarity amongst slow monday's, and the reason she had planned for the new Magic: The Gathering set to come in today.*
*Today was the big Tourney for the set, Monday Night Madness! In which people from all the different game format's would be able to play eachother for a chance to win a free, un-opened box of the new set: Urza's Return. Of Course the games would be seperated between the three formats: Type I, Type II, and Extended would all play eachother, before each would face Meg to choose the victor. *
*Of course, this was going to happen at around 5:00, after everyone was out of work or school or just plain old done with the day, and had some free time. So untill then, she was alone with the 6 boxes of card's she received from the company who shipped them to her store.*
*Gingerly setting aside the 300.00 she would need to fund the tournement, she put the three boxes she was giving out under the reguster, and the three she was selling on the shelf. She couldn't resist opening one of them and taking out a nice silver booster package of cards. On the front was a picture of a sorceror, holding a staff of sort's, glowing wildly with sparks of electricity coming from his eye's and hand's. She opened the package and pulled out the cards, and in the back, was the rarist card out of the entire set: Judgement Day.*
*Her face lit up with pride and surprise as she looked at the card, memorizing its casting cost and effect's, and staring at the magnificant drawing on the front. Of course, it was expensive as all hell, costing 2 colorless mana, and one of every color, but she couldnt resist setting it aside in a plastic casing in her own binder, for use in a deck she was planning.*
*Peering at the other card's, she found some other decent one's too. A counterspell or two, a fireball, some sort of elf, maybe another creature or two. But nothing that could counter Judgement day without costing the player his or her entire hand and graveyard, possibly their deck if Meg played her hand right. Maybe the card was much to powerful...lucky for her there was only a one in six chance of receiving it in a box...and an even small chance of opening the pack it was in, unless you bought the entire box yourself.*
*Hearing the door open and the bell ring she quickly looked up from her dreamy stare at her binder, closing the tome quickly and placing it in her bag. Someone had entered her store.*
