Join us at Gnome Games Appleton East for our Magic Presents: Open the Archive event!
On Wednesday, June 3rd at 5 PM, compete in a special pick 2 Draft event with a fun Mystical Archive twist! Each player receives 3 Secrets of Strixhaven packs. When they open their first pack, they pick 2 cards and take the Mystical Archive card within the pack, then pass the cards around! Each player picks two cards until they run out, then open the next pack and pass cards in the opposite direction. This continues until all packs are open. Then play begins! In this unique event, there are only two rounds. Anyone that wins both of their matches (and remains undefeated) receives an exclusive Mystical Archive challenge coin! These come in blind boxes that contain one of five variations of the challenge coin.
Entry is $25. Each round won awards players with an additional Secrets of Strixhaven pack! Players must have a Wizards account. Don’t have one? Sign up here! Our Mystical Archive events run every Wednesday until June 17th, just before the release of the Marvel Superheroes set!

What is Magic the Gathering?
Magic is a collectible trading card game of fun-filled, strategic games to play with friends old and new. Welcoming worldbuilders, narrative lovers, and gameplay enthusiasts alike, Magic has something for everyone and countless ways to play. Gathering together is half the fun! Bring along your crew or meet up with some new faces! A Multiverse of adventures awaits you, filled with powerful, unforgettable characters and spells to explore. Test your abilities to think fast and have fun on a battlefield of possibilities! Try new strategies with creative deckbuilding or push your skills to go for the win.

Each of the five colors in Magic represent a different philosophy and a different playstyle. Choose your color(s) to decide which type of land you’ll be drawing resources (mana) from and what type of Magic you’ll wield. Magic the Gathering has several starter products to choose from, including Jumpstart Packs, Beginner Bundles, and more! If you don’t want to learn on your own, check out our Learn to Play: Magic the Gathering events at Gnome Games, hosted every Monday from 6 PM to close!
