Please find your seat at the correct table, and then be sure to double check not just your name, but also your opponent’s, so everyone’s in the right seat!
If your table number comes up as “0,” that means you have a “bye,” or no-contest win, for the round, so just sit tight until the next round begins.
You could even kill some time at the Magazine/Comics Corner! Kick back with our wide selection of old Magic magazines, various volumes of comics, and more.♪
Weekday events run for three rounds.
Once seated, shuffle your deck and then ask your opponent to shuffle your deck, too. It’s always important to shuffle the opponent’s deck because it’s how we show we are on the level and want a clean game.
Once you’ve finished shuffling, decide who’s playing first, then settle all mulligans.
When judges give the word to start the match, please begin! Each round is 50 minutes, but if the match does not finish by then, play continues for five additional turns past the turn during which they called time. If nobody wins even after these five turns, the match is a draw.
When casting spells or performing any actions during competitions, please be sure to communicate clearly with your opponent about what is happening, so as to ensure a positive play experience. If there are any issues that come up, such as if you are unsure about the rules, simply let your opponent know you will be calling a judge over.
Judges are there to help with any tourney troubles!
They may not give any gameplay or strategic advice, but if there are any other issues that come up, rather than trying to resolve the issues among other players, please always be sure to call a judge!
