Magic: the Gathering

"Welcome to Magic: The Gathering! Magic™ is a trading card game where players summon incredible creatures and cast powerful spells to defeat their foes. The game has thousands of cards so you can always find a way to express yourself on the battlefield." 

MONDAY NIGHT PRE-CONSTRUCTED COMMANDER LEAGUE

The idea of this league is to have a level and fun playing field for both established and newer players, and to gradually improve our decks together so that the matches remain consistent and engaging.

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 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.

When: 5:30pm Monday

Where: Shop 3/132 Dawson Street Lismore 2480

Entry: $15 Per Player

Format: Commander Pre-Con League*

Prizes: 1 Standard Booster Pack + Promo Cards when available


10 Player Championship Points* for This Event

*All players will begin with an unaltered preconstructed 100-card Commander deck (This can be any Commander precon deck, from 2013 to present Universes Beyond and Starter Decks included), and have up to $100 alteration budget. This doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend the money to buy cards. If you have cards sitting at home that you think would be a fit for the deck, you may add them, however you can only add a total $100 worth of value to your deck (Prices will be based off the cheapest tournament legal printing of the card in near mint condition as listed on Card Kingdom at the time the card is added). 

All players will be added to a Facebook group in which they will submit the changes to their decks. (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1221854688308060/)

On 24 November all points for the year will be tallied and the top qualifiers announced on our Facebook Group and our Webpage. If a qualifier is unable to attend the championship, their place will be allocated to the next placed point-scorer and so on.

WHAT ARE "REVERSE POSITION POINTS" AND WHY ARE THEY IMPORTANT?

Reverse position points are awarded for selected MTG events we hold. The number of points awarded are based on the number of players at the event.
If there are 8 players at an event, the winner will be allocated 8 points, runner-up allocated 7 points, 3rd place 6 points and so on.
The key to this is the more players, the more oppotunity to score points. This means that if you are a competant player it will be worth your while to invite and encourage new players to come to add to the points pool (e.g. 12 players is 12 points for the winner) BUT..If you thrash every player all the time, they may not come back. So play strong, play fair and most importantly make it fun!
