Each round has its own individual sets of promotional prizes, too! “Pods” is the term used to describe a group of players playing together! Pods can be as large or as small as you’d like, but generally don’t go above 4 to 5 people.

Entry to this event is $5 of Magic the Gathering related product per Pod. Players need a Wizards account to qualify for promotional packs and cards. Don’t have a Wizards account? Register for one here!

What is Magic the Gathering?

Magic is a collectible trading card game of fun-filled, strategic games to play with friends old and new. Welcoming worldbuilders, narrative lovers, and gameplay enthusiasts alike, Magic has something for everyone and countless ways to play. Gathering together is half the fun! Bring along your crew or meet up with some new faces! A Multiverse of adventures awaits you, filled with powerful, unforgettable characters and spells to explore. Test your abilities to think fast and have fun on a battlefield of possibilities! Try new strategies with creative deckbuilding or push your skills to go for the win.

Each of the five colors in Magic represent a different philosophy and a different playstyle. Choose your color(s) to decide which type of land you’ll be drawing resources (mana) from and what type of Magic you’ll wield. Magic the Gathering has several starter products to choose from, including Jumpstart Packs, Beginner Bundles, and more! If you don’t want to learn on your own, check out our Learn to Play: Magic the Gathering events at Gnome Games, hosted every Monday from 6 PM to close!

What is Commander?

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 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.
