The Longest Night is a widely celebrated holiday in the Iron Kingdoms consisting of festivals and revelries with people celebrating by dressing up like the dead, drinking, and lighting off fireworks amid loud music and dancing (we call it Halloween in our neck of the woods). Many believe this day and night to be a time of black magic and misfortune, but we think that it's a good excuse to spend the whole night playing some great games in our store!

Join us this Friday as we kick off our 20th Anniversary Celebration with an all-night Warmachine and Hordes game-a-thon: stay for as long as your last (or dare) and enjoy libations on the house! Full detailsls can be found on our Calendar of Events.

See you there!

Last month marked the Little Shop of Magic's 20th year in business and this month we're celebrating with a huge party on October 24th, 25th and 26th!

While we gear up for the festivities, we want you to get the party warmed up by sending us the kookiest, funniest and craziest video birthday wishes you can come up with (we'll take sexy too, so long as you know how to keep it PG-13). We'll reward your efforts by giving away $300 in Dragon's Dough cards to our most creative and entertaining fans.*

To participate in our 'Birthday Crits' contest, grab your cellphone, camera, webcam or any other handy video-recording device and film a short 'happy birthday' wish for the Little Shop of Magic. If you're good with animation, go for it! If you have lots of friends who are also our fans, get together and shoot a group video! And if you feel like you should be in Hollywood, then give us your best Robert De Niro! As we said before, we're looking for creativity, so just about anything goes!

We'll showcase them on our website and our social media channels, where the rest of the world can join in the fun by sharing and commenting. The creators of our top 4 favorite videos will be rewarded with a $50 Dragon's Dough card and 4 lucky fans chosen at random from those who share, like, +1, re-tweet or comment using the #ShopOfMagic20 hashtag will each receive a $25 Dragon's Dough card.

To send in your videos, please contact us for detailed instructions. Winners will be announced on our website on November 9th, 2014.*

*Minimum of 12 video submissions needed to launch promotion. Final day for video submission is Friday, October 31st.

Announcing the 2015 Core Set Standard League Winners!

Most people wouldn't dare to touch Garruk's axe, but those same people would tell you that it takes a person of unmeasurable power to wield the gargantuan weapon. Andrew Susin, Master of the Hamster Plane, has proved that he is worthy of claiming Garruk's axe, if he should meet the brute in battle. After a five week long campaign, Andrew dominated his competition, ending the league with a hefty 97 points. Sir Roger , Noble Knight of House Tyndall, came in second with valiant 67 points, but still was overshadowed by Andrew's impressive score. A swift congratulations to all of our participants and we hope to see you during our Khans of Tarkir sealed league.
