MAGIC - LEARN TO PLAY AND DECK BUILDING EVENTS

Wizards of the Coast (WotC) has announced a new event series aimed at helping players new to Magic: The Gathering learn to play — Welcome to Magic Academy!

Magic Academy events will be KD GAMES on Saturday 16th and 23rd at 2pm and will provide new players all the “…knowledge and tools to start playing the game…” 

During its inception with the release of Magic Foundations in November, there will be two types of Magic Academy events: Learn to Play and Deck Building.

What is a Learn to Play Event?

Date : Saturday 16th November @ 2pm until 6pm

Learn to Play events are designed to be the first step in teaching new players the ropes. 

Attendees will be provided a “…brochure that breaks down the basics of the game, along with a reference card with all the essential details.” Players will also receive Welcome Decks to help teach the “…fundamental rules of the game, like the turn order, how combat works, and how to cast spells.”

What is a Deck Building Event?

Date : Saturday 23rd November @ 2pm until 6pm Cost : £30

The Deck Building event is targeted at slightly more advanced players, including those who attended a Learn to Play event. Attendees will first watch a video from Magic Designer, Gavin Verhey, covering the basics of deck building, before being given six Play Boosters from which they’ll build a 40-card deck. 


As an additional bonus, players who purchase any intro products during Magic Academy events will earn this borderless, foil Blightsteel Colossus promo. Viable Magic intro products include:
  • Starter Kits
  • Foundations Beginner Box, 
  • Foundations Starter Collection
  • Six or more Play Boosters from a set
  • Includes Bundles and Play Booster boxes
Community Tutor will be on hand at both events and will be wearing special Ajani pins to help you identify them
