Gather, Planeswalkers! A Mystery Unfurls at Gnome Games!

Dust off your sleuthing skills and sharpen your spellcasting focus, for Gnome Games invites you to an event unlike any other: Murder at the Gnome Games: a Magic: the Gathering Prerelease like no other, shrouded in the chilling mystery of Murder at Karlov Manor Prereleases that only you can solve!

Prepare to step into the vibrant world of mystery at your favorite Gnome Games store, as it is transformed into a scene of intrigue and suspense. A beloved figure has fallen, and sinister whispers hang heavy in the air. Could it be the charismatic, competitive Barnaby “Mana Burn” Bolt, forever vying for supremacy? Or perhaps the gentle Lyra “Land Whisperer” Willowbrook, championing environmental awareness? Every Planeswalker amongst us becomes a suspect, and every card cast holds a clue.

Solve the Mystery – Intrigue at Gnome Games: A Murder Mystery at the Magic the Gathering Karlov Manor Prerelease

Hark, Planeswalkers! There has been a murder at Gnome Games and we need your help to solve the mystery!

For one event at each store only, Gnome Games transforms into a stage for murder and mayhem. You are no longer just patrons seeking prereleases and preordained packs. You are investigators, thrust into a tangled web of deceit and suspicion.

Unravel the clues as you play in the Magic the Gathering Murders at Karlov Manor Prerelease.

Decipher cryptic messages, untangle alibis, and navigate hidden passages. Use your strategic minds and collaborative spirit to interrogate suspects, analyze evidence, and piece together the puzzle before the final match is played. In the spirit of Magic the Gathering, you’ll earn more than more boosters when you win a match; clues are truly what you seek! 

Will you become the champion of justice, unmasking the killer and claiming victory? Or will you succumb to the shadows, forever trapped in the web of Karlov Manor’s deadly secrets?

The stakes are high, the mystery awaits, and the fate of Gnome Games hangs in the balance.

Gather your Planeswalker companions, sharpen your wits, and step into the shadows. The hunt for the murderer in afoot!

      • 408.2.b. If the game is incomplete at the end of the additional turns, the winner of the game is the one with the highest score. If scores are tied, the game is a draw.
      • 408.2.c. Additional turns are untimed, but at high OPL a judge must be present to ensure a reasonable pace of play.
      • 408.2.d. If the players are between games when the round time ends, no new game is started.
    • 408.3. The winner of a match is the first player who reaches the appropriate game win score.

Check out our other Pokémon events here: Pokémon Events at Gnome Games Appleton North

With Standard format rotating soon, a reminder:
For in-person Play! Pokémon events, the Standard format rotation will go into effect on April 11, 2025.
Cards with the “F” regulation mark will no longer be legal for play in the 2025 Standard format. Cards with “G,” “H”, and “I” regulation marks will be legal to use (as will any future regulation marks that may be released). A card’s legality status is no longer based on which expansion it’s from. Even if a card is from a recently released expansion, players will need to refer to the regulation mark on the bottom of the card to see whether that card is legal for play. New cards still must follow the appropriate waiting period to become tournament legal, which is typically two weeks after their release. Moving forward, players should expect cards with the oldest legal regulation mark to rotate out of the Standard format when a new one is introduced.
