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.

Friday Night Commander Pods at Gnome Games Appleton East – $5

Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for Friday Night Commander Pods!

Every Friday we run three rounds of Commander Pods, where we pair players in groups of up to 4 to face off against each other. Each round has its own individual sets of promotional prizes, too!

What is Commander, and what are pods?

Commander is a Format in Magic where players choose a Legendary Creature to be their Commander, then build a 100 card deck around that Commander. “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.

How do I start playing Commander?

The best way to get started is by picking up a Preconstructed Commander deck! They come with 1 ready to play 100 card deck, a cardboard deck box, tokens, and in some cases a 2 card Collector Sample Pack. If you’re too nervous to come to an event where players already know how to play, try out our Learn to Play Magic the Gathering Events!

What do I need to participate?

To participate, you will need a Commander deck and a Wizards account through EventLink. If you don’t have an account, you can register here.

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 Friday night 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.
