How do you play a Pre-Rift Event?

  • Sealed Deck is a limited format where players are provided with 6 unopened booster packs to construct their deck. {Gnome Edit: In this case, 5 Booster Packs and 1 Mini-Precon}
  • 602.1.c. Main Decks in Sealed Deck are exactly 25 cards.
  • 602.1.d. The domain identity of a limited deck is any three domains, or any domain plus the domains of its Champion Legend (if it has one).
    • 602.1.d.1. A sealed deck may have any Champion Unit that is included in its domain identity as its Chosen Champion, even one that does not have a champion tag that matches its Champion Legend (if it has one).
    • 602.1.d.2. A sealed deck may play any signature spells that are fully included in its domain identity, even if they do not include the corresponding champion.
      • 602.1.d.2.a. Example: A sealed main deck with a domain identity of Fury/Body/Order could use signature spells that are Fury/Order or Body/Order, but not signature spells that are Fury/Mind or Body/Chaos.
  • 602.1.e. A sealed deck is still legal if it has no Champion Legend or Chosen Champion.
    • 602.1.e.1. A player may opt not to use a Champion Legend or a Chosen Champion in their sealed deck even if they opened one in their provided packs.
    • 602.1.e.2. If a player’s deck doesn’t include both a Champion Legend and a Chosen Champion, they draw a card at the start of their first beginning phase each game. (If they have neither, they still only draw one card.)
  • 602.1.f. In competitions where a sideboard is allowed, a limited deck’s sideboard is every card provided to the player as part of the competition that isn’t used in their deck construction, unless otherwise specified.
    • 602.1.f.1. Players may change their domain identities while sideboarding as long as the resulting deck still meets c-d.
  • 602.1.g. The normal limits on copies of named or signature cards do not apply.
  • 602.1.h. Sealed decks must have at least three battlefields available, so if any are not included in the cards provided to the player as part of the competition, the player may use a blank battlefield represented by a facedown card.
    • 602.1.h.1. A player may opt to use blank battlefields in place of battlefields they opened.
    • 602.1.h.2. Players may select any battlefield from their sealed card pool during game start procedure.
      • 602.1.h.2.a. In events where sealed deck registration is required, players must register a battlefield to be used in the first game of a match.
      • 602.1.h.2.b. Players may only use a specific battlefield once per match, but may use the same named battlefield as many times as they have copies of it in their sealed card pool.
  • 602.1.i. Players may use the six basic Runes from any source for play in a limited competition, even if they were not in the cards provided to the player as part of the competition.
    • 602.1.i.1. Players may only include runes that match the domain identity of their main deck.
  • 602.1.j. In some cases, competition officials may allow players to provide their own product, but in such cases player-brought products must be pooled and distributed amongst participants randomly.
  • 602.1.k. Players may not use electronic devices to take notes or as a strategic aide during sealed deck building.

Magic the Gathering: Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Party – Green Bay West

Gnome West

Who will you be on Lorwyn or Shadowmoor? The Commander Party for Lorwyn Eclipsed gives you a chance to find out!

Monday, February 16th at 6pm we invite players to play together with the Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Party set of rules!

Eventcode: 3JEN7G7

Each player who joins in will get a promo Farhaven Elf! (While supplies last.)

SETUP: Place the rules sheet in the center of the play area. Use the Lorwyn side of the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor indicator card to cover the Shadowmoor roll table. Each player draws and mulligans their opening hand as normal, then does so again, setting aside the second “hand” of cards on the corner of this rules sheet nearest them. Grab a six-sided die.

GAMEPLAY: Players start the game on Lorwyn. After the first player’s third turn begins, the following rules apply. At the beginning of combat on your turn, roll a six-sided die and get the bonus listed below for the plane you are currently on.

For more information on the Commander Format visit https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats/commander 

Commander Rules

Play Rules/Modifiers

This format is for four players per game and deck sizes are 99 cards + 1 commander card. The game duration for this format should be about 20 minutes per player.The Commander format is all about picking your hero and building a deck around them. In this casual, multiplayer format, you choose a legendary creature or artifact to serve as your commander and build the rest of your deck around their color identity and unique abilities. Players are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic‘s history.

Color Identity

A card’s color identity can come from any part of that card, including its casting cost and any mana symbols in its text. Every card in your Commander deck must only use mana symbols that also appear on your commander. Colorless cards are allowed as well.

Command Zone

This is where your commander resides during the game when they are not in play. At the start of the game, each player puts their commander face up into the command zone. A commander can be cast from the command zone for its normal costs, plus an additional two mana for each previous time it’s been cast from the command zone this game. If your commander would be put into your library, hand, graveyard or exile from anywhere, you may return it to your command zone instead.

Commander Damage

A player that’s been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. The commander is tracked across zone changes for this purpose (for example, if one player takes control of another player’s commander, any damage that commander already dealt is still counted).
