The New Kindle in Seongsu

This is the new and current location for Kindle. It is located near Seongsu Station and will be hosting a lot of tournaments. They also have a fantastic singles collection that includes Power.

It's located very close to the station and easy enough to find. Go out exit one and then follow the map. Key landmarks along the way are Paris Baguette, Pizza School, Dunkin Donuts and Lotteria. From Loteria you can see the store while you sip on your coke.

The store is a decent size and fits about 50 players. They actually display their singles in a case in addition to the binders so that is a definite plus.

I attended the grand opening tournament and had a good time. The event started half an hour late and the prizes weren't as good as advertised in English (looks a translation issue rather than anything mischievous) so I felt a little burnt. It's much to far of a trip for me but I do plan to go back sometime.

If I lived close to the store I would be pretty excited because they run a lot of events and have some creative prizes (old packs, foreign foils, unhinged lands etc).

Magic Overload!

While I haven't been posting updates due to my new work schedule not leaving me with a lot of spare time while in front of a computer, that doesn't mean stuff hasn't been happening.

The multiplayer cube I built is in full swing and we played a hilarious 8 player game with it. http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/8529

Someone died to Hidetsugu's second rite and the game was won with a miracled Thunderous Wrath being copied twice to deal 15 damage during the winners upkeep.

Suwon drafts are now at 1:00 pm and have been regularly filling up thanks to a lot of Korean players joining.

Rolling Dice Hongdae had a massive sale with boosters from W1,000.
I bought a box of Korean dark Ascension for W36,000 and a box of English Khans for W72,000.
I personally loved drafting triple Khans so I plan to keep this box in my MTG vault for drafting later down the line.

Kindle shop is reopening in a new location.

And we had a Modern masters draft last Sunday in Suwon.

The fate reforged re release had 21 foreigners in attendance and an all English flight. It was really unexpected and the store plans to have even more English kits for the forthcoming Dragons of Tarkir prerelease.

Places to play - Kindle




EDIT: This store is permanently closed.


















How to get there:
Use exit one from the subway and then turn right. You will walk past a Burger King which is set up to show them making your burger for you.

My experience:

This along with DiveDice is the main shop for foreigners now that OZ is leaving the scene. At the moment their are English drafts scheduled for 2:00 pm. 

It is very close to the Konkuk University subway stop on the light (and dark) green subway line.  I can't remember but I think the on board Korean subway system calls it something different. I am sorry I cant recall what it was.

Kindle is located on the 5th floor of the Pizza Hut building further along that main road. 

It's a very spacious and clean looking shop but is also very popular so for big events it can get pretty full.

There was a heated falling out between the Manager and a group of foreigners though and some have decided to boycott this store.
