Mystery Pizza you say? What could possibly go wrong? The Commander Party for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles gives you a chance to find out!
Monday, April 6th at 6pm we invite players to play together with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Commander Party set of rules!
Eventcode: GXMRMY7
Each player who joins in will get a promo Courier of Comestibles! (While supplies last.)
SETUP: Before the game begins, shuffle the Pizza cards together, Mystery Pizza side face up, to create a Mystery Pizza deck.
GAMEPLAY: If a Mystery Pizza card would be put anywhere other than the battlefield, put it on the bottom of the Mystery Pizza deck. At the beginning of your end step, if you don’t control a Mystery Pizza, put the top card of the Mystery Pizza deck onto the battlefield under your control. It’s a Food Equipment artifact with these abilities: Whenever equipped creature deals combat damage to a player, you may flip this card. If you do, resolve its effects, then put it on the bottom of the Mystery Pizza deck.

Commander Rules
Play Rules/Modifiers

This format is for four players per game and deck sizes are 99 cards + 1 commander card. The game duration for this format should be about 20 minutes per player.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 or artifact 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.
Color Identity
A card’s color identity can come from any part of that card, including its casting cost and any mana symbols in its text. Every card in your Commander deck must only use mana symbols that also appear on your commander. Colorless cards are allowed as well.
Command Zone
This is where your commander resides during the game when they are not in play. At the start of the game, each player puts their commander face up into the command zone. A commander can be cast from the command zone for its normal costs, plus an additional two mana for each previous time it’s been cast from the command zone this game. If your commander would be put into your library, hand, graveyard or exile from anywhere, you may return it to your command zone instead.
Commander Damage
A player that’s been dealt 21 or more combat damage by the same commander over the course of the game loses the game. The commander is tracked across zone changes for this purpose (for example, if one player takes control of another player’s commander, any damage that commander already dealt is still counted).

Cowabunga, dudes! It’s Turtle Time!
Join us at Gnome Games Green Bay East for a special Pick-Two Draft event featuring Magic: The Gathering | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

April 11th at 1:00pm
$35.00 Entry
This unique Pick-Two draft features a TMNT-flavored twist to add some variety to Draft!
All players will be seated into a pod of four, and each player will receive three Play Booster packs of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Once cards are drafted and decks are built, players will play in two rounds to see who can go undefeated and win an exclusive promo card!
What is Pick-Two Draft?
The best way for four players to draft! Like a traditional booster draft, each player will start with three booster packs. In Pick-Two Draft, players always select two cards from each booster pack and then pass that booster pack to the next player. For the first booster pack, players pass the cards to their left. Once all players have selected all the cards from the first pack, they’ll open a second pack, continue selecting two cards at a time, and pass the pack to their right. After all those cards are drafted, players do the same with the third pack, passing to the left again. At the end, each player will have about 42 cards, which they can use to build a 40-card deck, adding in any basic lands they need.
