Additional Tournament Information

Prizes, Raffle & Angry Mob Event

The winner gets a signed Raging Bull and receives the floating trophy from the current RBS champion, Leo Bruder: “The Raging Bull Ring.”
There is a spice prize awarded during the tournament.
There will be a raffle somewhere during the tournament. Every tournament entry is worth a raffle ticket as well as every English Raging Bull donated. I cannot guarantee that it will be worth donating Raging Bulls. Confirmed prizes so far:
- Raging Bull Hoodie XXL
- Raging Bull Hoodie XL
- Raging Bull Beer Glass
- Raging Bull Beer Glass
- Official Wizards of the Coast Boosterpack T-Shirt
- Empty Booster Wrappers. ATQ, LEG & The Dark
- Triskelion Life Counter (donated by Martin)
- Likely more, some actual MtG cards for example
Last year’s Angry Mob event will get another edition. What this is? “Guess the card” in a H2H battle.
There will also be a special prize based on Erwin Demmer’s performance. What that is? You’ll find out just before we start the tournament.
