| Release Event Life Counters |
|
On the 26th of July in 2003, Magic: The Gathering has had its tenth anniversary. In order to commemorate the event, a special tenth anniversary life counter was handed out earlier that year to all participants at the Scourge prerelease tournaments in the USA. The life counter can count up to 30 and uses a wheel to select the desired amount of life points. Starting with the Release Events in 2004, a life counter is awarded to the 3 highest-ranking players at each event. Beginning with Ninth Edition, an additional life counter is handed out to a randomly selected participant. For sets prior to Betrayers of Kamigawa, similar life counters were given as part of the Arena League prize schedule and they still are in different parts of the world outside the USA. For Unhinged, a special life counter was created. It can only count up to 20, but it is unique in its ability to display fractional amounts of life. It was given out to participants of the Unhinged Release Event.
