Event Calendar
This is our favorite format for playing Magic at the shop. Experienced players can team with new players and everybody has fun.
Players can get 4 packs* to open and get to build their decks for an hour (4-5) . (we provide the land and stuff, so you don't need anything more to play.) We pride ourselves that no one here will make you feel anything but welcome (we all started from scratch at some point).
(*Sometimes we do special THG using prerelase packs or other fun packs. When we do, the event price will likely change to reflect that. Check each week to see if there is something new.)

EVERYONE MUST HAVE PROOF OF VACINIATION. (THIS IS AN EVENT WHERE PEOPLE SIT RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER FOR AN HOUR AT A TIME. NOBODY GETS PUT AT RISK FOR A GAME.)
Also... No DCI numbers anymore. Go and download the Magic Companion app, and sign up for an account using your email. https://accounts.wizards.com/
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)
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.)
Each player (head) gets 4 packs 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.

Date @ Time
Start time at 7pm, end around 10-11. Limited to 24 players--.
Good for any player that is familiar with how to play magic.
$20 pp. Comes with 3 packs/win a round/win a pack.
Age 12+ since Vax cards and masks are required (we keep it as safe as we can.). All players will be hand sanitize during the drafting, and no drinks/snacks or anything that takes a mask off during the day.
NOTE---Players at D20 play for the fun of playing and don't get all tweaked up about the prizes (that's why we do win a round, win a pack). If that sounds good to you, than we're your place.
They then pass the rest of those cards to the person to their left around a circle, and pick a card from the pack that has just been passed to them. The increasingly smaller packs keep getting passed to the left until all the cards in those packs have been picked, at which point the next of the three packs is opened and the cards are passed to in the other direction.
After all the cards are drafted, the player then picks the best of those cards that work together and makes a deck from them. Ideally they pick 23 of the 38 cards they should have and add 17 lands from our land box to make a 40 card deck. They then face their randomly selected first opponent and play the first of their 3 matches. The matches are best 2/3 and will be completed within 50 minutes. For each match they win, the player will get an prize pack at the end of the event.
