Magic: The Gathering, you play the role of a planeswalker - a powerful wizard who fights other planeswalkers for glory, knowledge, and conquest. Your deck of cards represents all the weapons in your arsenal. It contains the spells you know and the creatures you can summon to fight for you.

We typically host 1 tournament per month for Magic. As with all games we do free demos and lessons here in our gameroom. Contact Nathan with specific Magic questions.

Normal deck construction consists of a minimum of 60 cards. Each deck may contain no more than (4) copies of any card except basic lands.

Victory goes to the player that reduces his opponent's life points to zero or less.

Typical organized play constructed deck formats are: Standard, Extended, Vintage, Legacy, Block, and Two-Headed Giant.
