New Redemption Grab Bag now includes an assortment of 500 cards from five (5) different expansion sets. Available at Cactus website.
Why is Type 2 at the same time as booster? Why isn't it against Type 1 like in the past? I am curious to know the reasoning for these pairings???
i also like the logic behind that. now just to convince my significant other nats in new york is worth the hefty investment...

I liked this schedule: Day 0: All the starting stuffDay 1: Sealed and T1 Multi (boring events)Day 2: T1-2P, T2-2P, and TA (standard events)Day 3: Booster, TEAMS, and T2-MP (awesome events)props to BubbleBoy. that and the 07 are the best ones. 07 is my favorite though.
Why can't everyone just appreciate the schedule that John M and Rob A. (and anyone else that may be involved) came up with. I don't think there going to change it at this point.

I see why it might be nice to have booster on Thursday so that players can get the new cards right away, but if you can't use them during the tournament anyway, I don't see a huge advantage there. It seems like it would be best to have booster on the last day like it's always been done. Also, mightn't you be able to use the new set with sealed deck?Another schedule that might be good:Thurs: All the starting stuff (1st time period), Sealed and T1 Multi (2nd time period)Fri: T1-2P and TA-2P (1st time period), T2-2P and TEAMS (2nd time period)Sat: Booster and T2-MP (1st time period), all the ending stuff (2nd time period)This fills up all of three days, and presents very little conflict between events. There are multiplayer events in all but the T1-2P period, two-player events in all but the last time period, the least popular events are on the first day, T1-2P is on the main day, and Booster is on the last day. Something like this would make everyone happy, right?
With respect to Mark, Teams will not work on Thursday. Many teams will not pair up until players get to nationals and decide to play together.
T2-2P and T1-2P are the two longest events. outside of maybe Booster. there's no way that we can fit both in one day.
The only questionable thing that I see is putting TEAMS and T1-mp at the same time, as they are both multi-player events using T1 decks.

Players add new cards to their decks anyways though, just to see if deck checkers can find um.
