Magic the Gathering: Avengers Academy at Gnome Games Green Bay West

Join us for a chance to jump into the action early with friends with Avengers Academy at Gnome Games Green Bay West!

What Is Avengers Academy?

Avengers Academy is a special Two-Headed Giant event designed to encourage experienced players to bring new friends into Magic.

Each Avengers Academy participant receives a Welcome Deck featuring popular Marvel characters, while supplies last. Players use these Welcome Decks to compete alongside their friend in casual Two-Headed Giant matches against other teams in the store.

Companion App Code: 3J47GW4

How to play 2-Headed Giant:

Play, plan, and battle as a team. In Two-Headed Giant, the life total is shared and starts at 30 life. In Two-Headed Giant, each two-player teams shares a starting 30 life and takes their turn simultaneously. The team does not share any other resources other than life. For instance, any reference to “you” on a card still applies to the individual holder.

Effects that read “each opponent” or “each player”, however, affect each team member separately. Players can block any creature(s) that are attacking them, their teammates or Planeswalkers their team controls.

  • The team that goes first skips their first draw step.
  • Constructed: Only four copies of any non-basic land card are allowed to be shared between teammates. 60 card deck.
  • Limited: Players share a card pool. Players pool the cards they open and build decks together. 40 card deck.
  • Commander: 99 card deck + a Commander card.
    • There is no unified construction, though each player’s deck should be a legal Commander deck by itself.
    • Each team starts with 60 life.
    • A team loses when they take 21 or more damage from a single commander OR have 15 or more poison counters.

Magic Presents: Open the Archive Pick-2 Draft at Gnome Games Appleton North!

SOS Open the Archive

Join us for our Open the Archive draft event! Channel the ultimate power of the Mystical Archive!

Entry: $25
Tuesday, May 26th at 5pm

Magic Presents: Open the Archive invites you to a pick-2 of draft Secrets of Strixhaven… with a twist! Mystical Archive cards can be played in any deck, regardless of color, opening new strategies and letting you fully enjoy every Mystical Archive card they draft!

Open the Archive Emblem

How to 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.

Players should play one-on-one games after the draft. In a four player Pick-Two Draft, players should play two rounds, with the winning players from the first round pairing up, and the other two players also pairing up.

Special drafting rule: With each player’s first pick from each pack, they also take the Mystical Archive card from that pack.

Players who finish the event with a winning record (having more wins than losses) receive a blind-pack challenge coin featuring one of five Mystical Archive art designs. Collecting the coins gives players an incentive to return and play again week after week!

Receive a Ral Zarek avatar in MTG Arena by participating in our Open the Archive event! To receive the avatar, you must register for the event using the same Wizards Account you use to log into MTG Arena. The avatar will arrive in your inbox within one week of the event!
