Players can brush up on their skills at our Standard Showdown tournaments, every Sunday at 1 PM!

What is Standard Showdown?

“Standard” refers to a format in Magic the Gathering where decks consist of 60 cards. Decks can have no more than 4 copies of any given card (excluding Basic lands). Our Magic Standard Showdown event is a constructed tournament where players compete in 1 on 1 matches for packs and exclusive promotional cards. These change with every set! This is a more competitive event, so decks are required to be standard legal according to Wizard of the Coast’s legality rulings.

Take a peek at the Magic the Gathering website for more information, events, and more!

Magic Presents: Open the Archive Pick-2 Draft at Gnome Games Appleton North!

SOS Open the Archive

Join us for our Open the Archive draft event! Channel the ultimate power of the Mystical Archive!

Entry: $25
Tuesday, May 26th at 5pm

Magic Presents: Open the Archive invites you to a pick-2 of draft Secrets of Strixhaven… with a twist! Mystical Archive cards can be played in any deck, regardless of color, opening new strategies and letting you fully enjoy every Mystical Archive card they draft!

Open the Archive Emblem

How to draft:

Each player will start with three booster packs. In Pick-Two Draft, players always select two cards from each booster pack and then pass that booster pack to the next player. For the first booster pack, players pass the cards to their left. Once all players have selected all the cards from the first pack, they’ll open a second pack, continue selecting two cards at a time, and pass the pack to their right. After all those cards are drafted, players do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 42 cards, which they can use to build a 40-card deck, adding in any basic lands they need.

Players should play one-on-one games after the draft. In a four player Pick-Two Draft, players should play two rounds, with the winning players from the first round pairing up, and the other two players also pairing up.

Special drafting rule: With each player’s first pick from each pack, they also take the Mystical Archive card from that pack.

Players who finish the event with a winning record (having more wins than losses) receive a blind-pack challenge coin featuring one of five Mystical Archive art designs. Collecting the coins gives players an incentive to return and play again week after week!

Receive a Ral Zarek avatar in MTG Arena by participating in our Open the Archive event! To receive the avatar, you must register for the event using the same Wizards Account you use to log into MTG Arena. The avatar will arrive in your inbox within one week of the event!

What is Commander?

The Commander format is all about picking your character 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 have a limit of one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic’s history. 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.
