Mace is in Charlotte this year but I will not be able to make it.  For that reason, I posted on BGG asking if there was any interest in a tournament in December/January either in the triad, Charlotte, or Raleigh areas.  I don't mind driving if someone will host.  If it's here, I'll either host it or see if a game store will host for us.

Are there "mage wars" sleeves in the works?  I agree with the OP.  I'd LOVE to see colored sleeves with the Mage Wars logo on them so players would not have to worry about accidentally mixing their cards up with another players.
