Bring your deck and prepare to fight! Open Magic Commander gaming starting at 6pm. No reservations needed, just find some opponents and play! There is a $5 per player cover charge, which includes a chance at promotional items.

Make sure you have a current Wizards Account and the Magic Companion App

Wizards of the Coast has a system for running and participating in events, including an app that will quickly tell you your seat assignments and current standings. You need a current Wizards Account if you do not yet have one. The Companion app is optional, but very helpful.

The following game play guidelines are optional, but must be adhered to at the request of either player:

  • Players may only shuffle or cut their own decks.
  • Cards must remain on the owner’s side of the table when control is changed.
  • Cards attached to cards owned by other players should not physically touch.
  • Mechanics that require an opponent to search a player’s library, hand, or graveyard are performed by the owner displaying that zone to the active player without cards changing hands.

 

Bring your character (or use one of ours) and join our ongoing adventures! Adventuring begins at 6pm sharp and will conclude before 10pm. There is a $10 per player cover charge.

Come play SolForge Fusion! Every Thursday at the Middleton store, there is a three-round SolForge Fusion constructed event.

  • Entry is $5.00, or free with the purchase of a SolForge Starter or Booster at that time.
  • No signup required – just come and play! Be sure to arrive a bit before 6 so we can get you registered.

There will be NO ADDITIONAL PRIZES during these events. It’s Cheap and it’s Casual! However there will be random drawings for promo packs! This is a great way for players of all skill levels to come out and just have some fun playing Magic. No signup required, but packs crack at 6pm SHARP, so arrive early!
