Magic the Gathering: Spider-Man Commander Party – Green Bay West

Magic Spider-Man

Spider-HamChoose a hero, band together in this Commander Party face off against the super villains of Spider-Man!

Monday, October 27th at 6pm we invite players to play together with the Spider-Man Commander Party set of rules!

Each player who joins in will get a promo Spider-Ham, Peter Porker!

Bring your own commander deck, and at the start of the event, before the game begins, set the Super Heroes in the middle of the table.
Starting with the youngest player and going clockwise, each player chooses a
Super Hero and places it in the command zone. Set the remaining Super Heroes aside. They won’t be used in this game. Shuffle the Super Villains deck and put it in the designated spot on the rules sheet. Turn the top card of the Super Villains
deck face up.

Super Villains are running amok in the city. Can your team of Super Heroes contain the chaos and save the day? And which one of you will emerge as the ultimate champion?

During each player’s turn, that player controls the face-up Super Villain card. If it has activated abilities, that player may activate them. Its triggered abilities will trigger based on that player’s actions, and so on.
• Each Super Villain card has an ability that allows you to capture it. If you capture a Super Villain, place its card into the Super Villain discard pile (a particularly evil discard pile next to the Super Villain deck) and put a capture counter on your Super Hero card.
• Each Super Hero may capture a maximum of three Super Villains.
• At the beginning of each player’s upkeep, if there is no Super Villain card face up, that player turns the top card of the Super Villain deck face up. If the Super Villain deck is empty, shuffle the Super Villain discard pile to reform the Super Villain deck.
• At the beginning of each player’s upkeep, if the face-up Super Villain is the same Super Villain that was there as the player ended their last turn, the player may put the Super Villain on the bottom of the deck and turn over a new Super Villain.

Magic: Friendly Neighborhood Friday Night Draft! – Green Bay East

Ultimate Green GoblinEveryone knows Spider-Man is the friendly neighborhood hero! Well in his honor, Gnome Games and Wizards of the Coast invite you to a season of Friendly Neighborhood Drafts! Each Sunday afternoon during the Spider-Man season Gnome will be hosting these special drafts!

Sundays @ 1:30pm
$30
Pick-Two Draft style event.

Unlike traditional eight-player drafts, Pick-Two Drafts allow each player to select two cards per pick, reducing the number of participants needed while maintaining strategic depth and fun. Games are played in pods with a minimum of four players; recommended pods based on attendance this way:

  • 3–7 players: 1 pod
  • 8–11 players: 2 pods
  • 12–15 players: 3 pods
  • Etc.

Players then compete in two rounds of Swiss. The undefeated (2–0) player from each pod should receive the event promo card (while supplies last).

What is drafting?

How to Pick-Two draft:

First, players sit around a table in a semi-circle. Each player then opens a booster pack. Remove a token, art card, or advertising card. Then pick two cards without showing the other players.

Each player then passes the remaining cards to the left, and continues drafting from the new cards they get from the player on their right. This continues until all of the cards in those packs have been distributed (drafted). Then each player opens a second pack, but this time, pass the pack to the right. After all those cards are drafted, you do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 45 cards (along with any number of basic lands) which they can use to build a 40 card deck.

Gnome Games provides basic lands for the purpose of building decks (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains & Forests) as each player needs.
