Huge Announcement: Midnight Comics and Games Joins MTGFanatic.com Premiere Store Network -

As of Thursday, January 14th, Midnight Comics and Games has joined the Premiere Store Network of mtgfanatic.com. This means several great things for our Magic customers.

Firstly, our weekly Friday and Saturday Night Magic Events now have more prize support, in addition to our normal prize support, including booster packs and gift cards to mtgfanatic.com. These are distributed so that nearly all entrants have a possibility of getting a prize for entering our event.

Second, mtgfanatic.com will be hosting $1K Magic Tournaments on a rotating basis between all of their premiere stores, which means a $1K event will be coming to Midnight Comics and Games in the near future. More details will be posted online when they are sorted out.

 

 

Finally, thanks to our partnership with mtgfanatic.com, we now are able to provide our customers with nearly any Magic single possible. Come on by and place an order and we can have your card in the store the very next day.

We look forward to expanding our repertoire of events within the store and hope to increase our place within the already large Magic the Gathering community in Houston. Also, mtgfanatic.com new Battlebook Gaming Social Networking site is online and running. Sign up in the store, with a valid e-mail address, and receive a free booster pack of either Magic 2010 or Zendikar, while supplies last. One of the best perks of Battlebook is that signing up on Battlebook and entering our events qualifies you for a weekly drawing for a $100 shopping spree at mtgfanatic.com.

Looks like 2010 is going to be an exciting year for Magic: The Gathering at Midnight Comics and Games. Check back later this week for yet another earth shattering announcement from Midnight Comics and Games!
