How to Throw a Magic Party
Jeff Zandi
4/18/2007  this article! - or -
When you need to celebrate something big, you throw a party. When you need to celebrate something big in Magic, you throw a Magic party. On April 3rd, the Texas Guildmages celebrated their tenth anniversary and their 500th weekly team meeting. Ever since meeting number 100, back in December of 1998, I have enjoyed turning each 100th weekly meeting into a big Magic party. Meeting number 100 was held in a private party room at a GameWorks, we had hot appetizers, we had a dragon piñata filled with booster packs, we played sealed deck with black bordered foreign Fourth Edition and Italian Legends. Every time we reach another 100 meeting milestone, the ante goes up a little bit for our Magic party. I want to tell you all about the party we had for Guildmage 500. I think it will be obvious how much we love the game and how much we love to throw a party. You may even want to steal some of these ideas for your own future Magic parties. Go ahead, I ain't mad at ya. We had thirty-three guests at the party, which started informally at 6:00pm with a trivia contest. This Jeopardy-like trivia game included a wide array of trivia questions, all dealing with Magic in one way or another. As people arrived at the party, they were added to the trivia game. At 7:00pm, the trivia scores were added up, and the six best finishers were allowed to open Ninth Edition booster packs and to add a couple of the cards in those packs to the booster draft that immediately followed. The 7:00pm booster draft was Time Spiral/Time Spiral/Planar Chaos, the 31 drafters spread across four draft pods randomly. We played three rounds, each round paired completely randomly so that you could play someone from another table and also so that you would not necessarily play against someone with the same record as yourself. This was important to keep as many people as possible in contention for the top eight cut that we made after three rounds. Normally, you would not cut to a top eight after only three rounds with 31 players, but we needed to due to time constraints. The top eight players, in the order they finished in the three rounds of booster draft play, chose decks from the top eight of Pro Tour New York 1996 and played single elimination, single game matches for the championship of the 500th meeting's tournament. The decks were played with completely current rules, a single exception being that players were allowed to take one free mulligan at the start of each of the one game matches. The most old school player in the tournament, James Stroud, thought of that one. He ended up in the finals with Brent Kaskel, two great Magic players that may not have played in a PTQ in more than a year but still have what it takes to win in all formats. There were prizes for the tournament provided by Edward Fox as well as by Guildmage Tim Stoltzfus (who also owns two comic book and game stores of his own). There were plenty of party favors including t-shirts sponsored by the evening's host, Comic Book Craze, and unique little score keeping notepads created by the talented Joe Frink. The party was a big success, a total of thirty-three guests took part in the event, along with one store employee, Josh, one Guildmage wife and pastry chef, Willa Zandi, and one eight year old future Guildmage, Lawson Zandi. But the party didn't just happen, there was a lot that went on behind the scenes.  There is this quote from a 1980 Chevy Chase movie called Seems Like Old Times. Chevy's character is in front of a judge who says something like, “You're telling me you were serving dinner to the District Attorney, his staff and twenty police officers at the same time that you were being sought by the same DA for bank robbery? How is this possible?” Chevy smiles and says, “You have to prepare everything in advance.” Whether you are preparing Chicken Pepperoni for the District Attorney and twenty guests or creating a Magic party for thirty to forty friends and teammates, preparation is key. The first thing you have to do is set a date and let people know. I often announce the meeting number at our team practices each week, so a lot of guys knew when the 500th meeting would be coming up. Studying the calendar, it seemed likely that the 500th meeting would land on Tuesday, April 3rd. Two months before the event, I started working on a guest list. I wanted to have a big party, but I wanted it to be manageable as well, so I figured the right number of people for the party would be around thirty. With thirty-one players on the lifetime membership roll of the Texas Guildmages and another ninety-two players having attended team meetings as guests, it was not easy to figuring out whom to invite. Soon, I realized that I might need to have more than thirty people at the party, which meant the party needed to be held somewhere besides my Dallas area home. My place, home of the weekly practices for ten years, is well laid out for eight or ten or maybe twenty guests, but not for any more than that. As for inviting people, my first goal was to invite every Texas Guildmage that I could reach, even though I knew there would be a handful that either could not be reached (whatever happened to Skye Thomsen?) or who would be very unlikely to travel to Texas to participate like James Jenkins in Maryland. After the team members themselves, I wanted to be sure to invite the guests who had been recently playing with us, recently in this case meaning over the past year. Along with these, I wanted to also invite guests who had been to the Guildhall (my pet name for the upstairs loft at my house where the weekly games take place) so many times that they were practically teammates, people like Ken Pender, Kip Antene and Stroud's old roommate and Magic buddy Marcus Trevino. Before long, I had invited a total of fifty people. Forty people responded with assurances that they would come. I figured that at least thirty of these would actually show up, this allowed me some space for the people I was bound to have forgotten until the last minute. As people responded, on the phone or by email, I made a note on my invitation list with the date they responded. On this list, I created two smaller lists of confirmed invitees, one for the ones I trusted would be at the party no matter what, and a smaller list of confirmed invitees that I still considered “shaky” prospects for any number of reasons of my own. In the end, it all worked out great, there were people who surprised me by showing up, and just as many that surprised me by not showing up. I think this is true anytime you have a party with invitations. I had a date, now I needed a place to have the party before I could invite people. Matt McIntosh owns a comic book and game store in nearby Garland, Texas, called Comic Book Craze. Matt had started working with Edward Fox on running Magic tournaments in his game store. Fox is one of my best friends, and he is also the Magic tournament organizer for northern Texas, southern Kansas and all of Oklahoma. Matt worked at the Planar Chaos prerelease event in Fort Worth in January, and Fox and I were able to use that opportunity to get to know Matt a little better. Soon after, I told Matt about the Guildmages' tenth anniversary and about the upcoming 500th team practice. I asked Matt if we could hold the 500th meeting and the accompanying party at his store. Matt was so immediately agreeable that it was hard to believe. Matt is not WAY into Magic, himself, but he loves EVENTS and he was happy to allow us to have our very special event in his location. As for a time, our normal meetings start on Tuesday nights at seven in the evening and run anywhere from eleven or midnight to three or four in the morning. A really long party would not be ideal for a large number of people, however, particularly on a “school night.” (ever since I was little, Sunday through Thursday nights were considered “school nights” meaning you were likely to have responsibilities the next morning, important places to be and things to do) The party needed to run very efficiently, it would need to start around seven and certainly end by midnight. This sounds like plenty of time to have a party, unless you think about that party involving a Magic tournament for thirty or more people. Now that I knew the when and the where, I created an email and sent it to about forty people. This may seem like a small detail, but I think it is important, when sending an email to a large number of people, to put only your own email address in the “to” section and to use the blind carbon copy section for the email addresses of your friends. You should never assume that all of your friends want their email address to be shared with all of your other friends. I try to never give out someone's email address or phone number to someone else unless it is really important.  Our party would have several activities, starting with Guildmage Trivia at 6:00pm. The trivia served two or maybe even three purposes. First, I always enjoy trivia in general, and I used to make up little Magic trivia contests to play with the teammates in the car on long Magic roadtrips. There would always be some insignificant prize on the line, and I was always the game show host. A second benefit of the trivia game would be to give the people who showed up early to the party something fun to do while waiting for the tournament to start. The questions I made up for the trivia game, and their answers (usually in the form of a question) can be found here. When trivia was over, we moved to the Time Spiral/Time Spiral/Planar Chaos booster draft. I used my own stock of boosters (I earn them running tournaments) providing a draft set to each official Guildmage without cost. Non Guildmage guests had to either bring their own booster packs or pay me $10 for a draft set. Players were instructed that they could keep whatever they drafted. Party Favors People like it when they get free stuff at parties. These items don't have to cost a lot of money. Edward Fox let me borrow one of his button making kits so that I could make special buttons just for the people at the party. Everyone likes to feel special, so I made a special button for the party in red and black declaring the “Guildmage 500” and the date of the party. When would you wear such a button? Who cares, it's cool and it says you were a part of something special. I also made a second button, a black ‘G' on a golden seal with the years 1996 and 2007 printed above and below the golden seal. This is a Guildmage button that me and the rest of the team will wear at all Magic tournaments for the rest of the year commemorating the tenth anniversary of the team. Joe Frink made tiny notebooks for scorekeeping (or a million other uses) using Magic cards for covers. This size allows the little notebook to fit inside many styles of deck boxes right alongside the deck. The cards used for the front cover of these notebooks were the gold bordered, black backed cards from the special Pro Tour New York 1996 top eight deck collection. Each of the eight decks came with fifteen extra cards with the black commemorative backs and blank fronts. These cards were intended to allow you to replace a card from one of the commemorative decks when necessary. In over ten years of playing with the decks, I have yet to lose or seriously damage one of the cards from the eight commemorative decks. In addition to these tiny notebooks, which were given to everyone at the tournament, Joe also made some larger notebooks, using the Jumbo Magic cards for front covers. These were handed out randomly during the night as door prizes.  The last party favor was my wife's idea. Each party guest received a tiny clear plastic box containing about twenty red and gold round counters. These were handed out to everyone right as the first round of tournament play began. But these weren't glass beads or dice, these counters were custom made chocolate M and M's from the Mars Candy Company. It turns out you can go onto their website and have candies made in any color you want with any message you want on them. Each piece had either ‘GMage 500' or ‘4.3.2007' on one side and the famous ‘M' on the other side. Very fun. We used two and a half pounds of these custom candies for the event. Party Food In the past, I have thrown some money at good party food. This was not one of those times. I found some empty Magic booster displays and filled them with Lay's K.C. Masterpiece Barbecue flavored potato chips. (why can't they just label them “paprika flavored” the way they do in Europe?) Elegant? Not really. I put the little boxes full of chips on six different tables and what do you know, every box was empty at the end of the night. One person did ask me why I only used “barbecue” flavored potato chips. I shrugged and said that I liked that flavor the best.  Party Prizes When we throw a Magic party, you can bet there is going to be a tournament in there somewhere, and competitive tournaments need prizes. Edward Fox ponied up some sweet Russian language Time Spiral for top eight prizes, and Tim Stoltzfus sent a display box of fancy deck boxes, courtesy of his store More Fun Comics. Door prizes included several beautifully crafted spiral notebooks made by Joe Frink, the covers of the notebooks being the oversized Magic cards distributed in Magic's Arena league many years ago. At the weekly meetings, we usually booster draft, and when we do, we always play for the rares and foils from the cards we draft. For the Guildmage 500 party, I wanted players to be able to keep the cards they drafted, I wanted the prizes to be somewhat interesting to people who might not play Magic as regularly as the current team. Signing Magic Memorabilia This was the largest attendance for any Guildmage meeting, so I wanted to commemorate the event in a way that would be interesting to look back at in the future. I found in my Magic collection a ten year old playmat that had never been used. I decided it would be awesome to have every person at the party sign the mat. I still haven't decided what to do with the thing, I will probably frame it and hang it up in the Guildhall eventually, alongside the newspaper picture of David Williams at the World Series of Poker, the giant Dark Confidant given away at Wizard World, a framed sheet of Arena cards and the framed picture of Trey Van Cleave looking at Zvi's cards during a Pro Tour booster draft labeled in big letters NO CHEATING.  Introducing the Texas Guildmage Magic Card Hall of Fame One last item of intrique at the party was the unveiling of the Texas Guildmage Magic Card Hall of Fame. More than a year ago, Joe Frink created this very interesting Magic card album for me. This album has two spiral rings with a Velcro closure in the center with a giant black mana symbol, carved out of white vinyl. I immediately loved the binder, but didn't think a trading binder was a worthy enough use for it. A few months ago, I decided how to use it. This unique “double barreled” binder would become the home of a sort of Magic card hall of fame. I would have every Texas Guildmage and every guest of every Guildmage meeting from 1 to 500 contibute a single card to the hall of fame, their favorite Magic card of all time. The goal was not to get from people the card that they thought was the most powerful, or even the most useful, but the card that meant the most to them personally.    The fun never stops!
