To kick things off with a bang, we’re changing up the prizes on this year’s tour. For starters, Orlando’s Darkmoon Faire Championship winner will get the choice of one of the following grand prize packages:

• Computer: You specify PC or Mac and laptop or desktop, and Upper Deck will build you the most insane computer we can.
• Home Theater: We’ll hook you up with a brand new flat-screen TV, surround sound stereo, and DVD player (your choice of either
Blu-Ray or HD DVD).
• Travel: Upper Deck will pay for your travel (flight and hotel accommodations) to any Darkmoon Faire event in the world.

Not only will champions get even more epic loot to choose from, but we also have new prize cards to kick off the year’s tour. All Darkmoon Faire Championship competitors will receive an Extended Art Solanian’s Belongings card, and the Top 64 competitors will walk away with an Extended Art copy of Shadowfiend.

The Gadgetzan Challenge has always been a favorite of players looking to put their Limited skills to the test and earn some cool prizes in the process. Starting with Darkmoon Faire Orlando, the Gadgetzan Challenge will be run in flights. From 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Friday, new tournaments will begin immediately for each group of thirty-two players who sign up. The first-place finisher after Swiss rounds will win his or her choice of one of the following:

• 160 GB iPod Classic
• 16 GB iPod Touch
• Nintendo Wii
• Xbox 360
• Playstation 3
• $350 Best Buy gift card

This will give players more chances to sign up for more than one event, and it also allows players arriving later the chance to get in on the action—more chances to win the gadget you have your eye on!
