Magic The Gathering - Malaysia

Evan Erwin, the man behind the weekly "The Magic Show", has unveiled the next premium card to be given out to players on the Magic Player Rewards program who have played 20 tournaments, following in the footsteps of Wrath of God and Damnation that were previous two years' premium foil –



Cryptic Command.

Hundreds of thousands of players around the world are playing in DCI-sanctioned Magic tournaments. To support these players and encourage sanctioned play, Wizards of the Coast has the Magic Player Rewards program-dishing out never-before-seen textless spells and copies of a special premium card based on a player's tournament play in the DCI database.

SIGN UP, AND START EARNING THE TEXTLESS SPELLS AND PREMIUM CARD

Magic Player Rewards participants receive benefits for each increment of 5 and 20 tournaments listed in the DCI database under their DCI number.

• For every 5 tournaments, you receive 1 random new textless spell and 1 random older card wrapped together; and
• For every 20 events, you receive a premium foil card.

This is a very valuable card currently, and with the advent of the new set which means that new Cryptic Commands would be rare to come across, means that the card will most probably rise in value as demand will overtake supply as long as blue control decks remain viable in the format. The promo will not only help prevent the card from being overpriced, but will most probably still be rather in demand for it's uniqueness and promotional value.

So sign up now, and don't forget to put sufficient personal information so that the cards can be delivered to you and start playing in more sanctioned tournaments! Last I heard, CCEgames is giving away RM1,500 cash in a series of tournaments. ;)
