Magic the Gathering: Secrets of Strixhaven Two-Headed Giant Prerelease 401 at Gnome Games Appleton North!

2HG Prerelase 401

Grab your best study buddy and team up for our Secrets of Strixhaven Two-Headed Giant Prerelease Event!
Saturday, April 19th at 12:30pm!
Entry: $90* per team

Uncover years of mysteries as you explore the hallowed halls of Strixhaven! All of the Strixhaven colleges are back with their own unique look, feel, and focus!

What’s a Two-Headed Giant event?

Play, plan, and battle as a team. In Two-Headed Giant, each two-player teams shares a starting 30 life and takes their turn simultaneously. The team does not share any other resources other than life. For instance, any reference to “you” on a card still applies to the individual holder.

Effects that read “each opponent” or “each player”, however, affect each team member separately. Players can block any creature(s) that are attacking them, their teammates or Planeswalkers their team controls.

All participants will receive a Prerelease kit to build a 40-card minimum deck (we provide basic lands). Teams pool the cards they open and build decks together,  then play in a 3-round best-of-3 tournament! Win-a-match, win-a-pack of Secrets of Strixhaven for each member of the winning team!

There are five versions of the Prerelease Pack for Secrets of Strixhaven, each aligned with one of Strixhaven’s colleges: Silverquill, Prismari, Witherbloom, Lorehold, and Quandrix. Each includes a college themed seeded booster and a Spindown™ life counter!
