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.

What’s a Two-Headed Turtle (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 Lorwyn Eclipsed for each member of the winning team!

Magic the Gathering: Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Party – Green Bay West

Gnome West

Who will you be on Lorwyn or Shadowmoor? The Commander Party for Lorwyn Eclipsed gives you a chance to find out!

Monday, February 16th at 6pm we invite players to play together with the Lorwyn Eclipsed Commander Party set of rules!

Eventcode: 3JEN7G7

Each player who joins in will get a promo Farhaven Elf! (While supplies last.)

SETUP: Place the rules sheet in the center of the play area. Use the Lorwyn side of the Lorwyn-Shadowmoor indicator card to cover the Shadowmoor roll table. Each player draws and mulligans their opening hand as normal, then does so again, setting aside the second “hand” of cards on the corner of this rules sheet nearest them. Grab a six-sided die.

GAMEPLAY: Players start the game on Lorwyn. After the first player’s third turn begins, the following rules apply. At the beginning of combat on your turn, roll a six-sided die and get the bonus listed below for the plane you are currently on.

For more information on the Commander Format visit https://magic.wizards.com/en/formats/commander 

Commander Rules

Play Rules/Modifiers

This format is for four players per game and deck sizes are 99 cards + 1 commander card. The game duration for this format should be about 20 minutes per player.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 are only allowed one of each card in their deck, with the exception of basic lands, but they can use cards from throughout Magic‘s history.

Color Identity

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.

Command Zone

This is where your commander resides during the game when they are not in play. At the start of the game, each player puts their commander face up into the command zone. A commander can be cast from the command zone for its normal costs, plus an additional two mana for each previous time it’s been cast from the command zone this game. If your commander would be put into your library, hand, graveyard or exile from anywhere, you may return it to your command zone instead.

Commander Damage

A player that’s been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. The commander is tracked across zone changes for this purpose (for example, if one player takes control of another player’s commander, any damage that commander already dealt is still counted).
