The
clouds gather over the Lonely Mountain, and the clash of steel echoes
across the valley of Dale. The Dragon is dead, but the horde of Erebor
lies unguarded—and five massive hosts march to claim the mountain's
boundless treasure.
Welcome
to The Battle of Five Armies, a Magic: The Gathering event where
allegiances are fragile, rivalries run deep, and every spell cast shapes
the fate of Middle-earth!
Five factions descend upon the slopes of Erebor. Choose your faction and claim the Arkenstone!
1. The Men of Lake-town
2. The Elves of Mirkwood
3. The Dwarves of the Iron Hills
4. The Goblins & Wargs of the Mist
5. The Eagles & The Shape-Shifter

Event Mechanics:
Each player will chose a Faction from the Five Armies and ride their banner to victory over this SIX week long Standard event!
At the end of the 6 weeks, the faction that carries the highest wins percentage will be treated with some extra gifts as the winning Faction! (see below!) - Players CANNOT change Factions midway! -

*if
every player chooses the same faction, there will be a random placement
of each player into the faction's houses up to our discretion! (e.g:
Elves: House of Rivendel, House of Mirkwood etc)
Win
Percentages are calculated solely on a percentage basis: i.e.: There
will not be any skewed results if the factions chosen are uneven! So
each player from that faction needs to win as many games as they can
through out the 5 weeks battle! (results will be polled at the end of
the 6 weeks and a leader board will be set up in store for all
participants to view!)
*this event carries a 2 x Point Multiplier for our Prize wall and All Stars!
