We get prize support (pre-release cards, arean league stuff, Friday Night Magic cards) from Wizards, but buy most of the product locally. We used to allow Korean nationals to play, but we ran in to some issues and aren't really able to do it any more. We've got Regionals on 7 June if any of your folks are interested.

Do you get the cards shipped from the PX (I don't know military jargon), or do you have some other way of getting cards into Korea? Ah, this is a military thing?

Usually draft or sealed, with some constructed. I'm not sure how much packs go for these days, but drafts are 15,000 with prize support, and we do a lot of trading / loaning / proxying for constructed and casual play. I have tons of commons going back about 9 years, plus a bunch of uncommons and rares. We can sign people on to post or we play at the McDonald's in Itaewon, but for tarrif and black market reasons, we have to limit participation to non-Korean ID holders.
