Still in old location for this weekend (More space cause less stuff.).  Price for prereleases have increased with new play packs, but we are not going to raise prices to $40 and $45 yet...Little gift to regular players.  


Sealed event using the prerelease kits from the latest Magic release. Players can get their boxes of 6 packs to open and build decks 1 hour before play time. 3 round event; win a round, win a pack. Lands are provided for use. We pride ourselves that  no one here will make you feel anything but welcome; we all started from scratch at some point.  

Two-headed giants are a team Magic the Gathering event. Teams usually comprise of buddies, parent/kid combos, and a lot of couples.  Both players play together, sharing a life total, showing each other their cards, consulting with each other and playing at the same times.  Because of that it is both great social fun, and probably the best way for a new player, or someone who is just curious what their buddy/kid/or SO likes so much about the game to get a chance to try without feeling any pressure to know all (or any) of the rules.  Think of it like tandem skydiving…you get all the fun, without having to worry about when to
pull the rip-cord.(It is particularly great for Moms or Dads who want to have a really cool date night with their kids. This event is a GREAT way for parents to figure out what this thing the kids are doing is anyway, and for the kids to get a chance to be the ones who know what is going on for a change. ;-)Because you play as a team and can help each other out, the kid gets to be the smart one for a change, and the parent gets to play without needing to worry about “doing it wrong”. Also…kids love having their mom or dad help them try and beat another team.)

Who’s it good for:

  • Buddies
  • Sweeties
    (couples…either where both play, or the significant other is looking
    for a nice, no-pressure way to share something the other person really
    likes)
  • Parent/Kid combos (or big sibling, etc)  Kids get to be
    the smart ones for once, and the parents get to see what this is about
    (and get a great date with their kid)

About Two Headed Giants

Each player (head) gets a prerelease kit and shares them with their partner to make two 40 card decks, one for each player . You’ll have plenty of cards to use to make interesting decks with that number of packs, and the cards you open are yours to keep.  Teams play 3 matches against other teams (since the team starts with 30 life instead of twenty, it is a single game…they usually last anywhere from 25-50 minutes.) If you win a round, each team gets two prize packs.  If you lost, you will most likely be paired up with someone else who had the same type of night, so it tends to balance itself out.

D20 tends to be a friendly place to play, and the Two-headed Giants are particularly so.  We have great players who take pride in making other players feel welcome and remembering that it’s a game, its played for fun. 

Entry fee is $35 in advance and $40 day of event.
