What the night feels like

A little teaching. A lot of playing. Zero pressure.

Opening hand

Show up. We’ll take it from there.

You’ll be greeted, introduced, and shown exactly where to sit. No walking into a room and hoping for the best.

Main phase

Learn while the cards are moving.

We’ll cover the basics, then play. Ask anything, take back a move, and learn as the game starts making sense.

End step

Play, laugh, swap tables.

Try another deck, meet someone new, or run it back. Leave knowing who you’d like to play with next time.

The first twelve

Let’s start a table worth coming back to.

Your refundable $10 deposit holds your spot and counts toward the ticket: $49 on your own or $89 for two. When all twelve seats fill, I’ll lock in the venue, send the details, and make this first night official.

If we don’t reach twelve, the night won’t happen and every deposit goes straight back.

Why this exists

“Magic is easier to learn when someone hands you a deck and says, ‘Sit here—we’ve got you.’ Making new friends should feel that simple too. That’s the whole idea.”

— Your host in Minneapolis

Who would you come with?

The stuff you’re wondering

Good questions. Easy answers.

Do I really need zero experience?

Really. If you can show up curious, you’re ready. We’ll start with the basics and teach through actual games.

Do I need to own a deck?

Nope. Beginner-friendly decks are ready for you. If you have a casual favorite, feel free to bring it and we’ll see if it fits the night.

Is it weird to come alone?

Not at all—it’s kind of the point. We’ll handle the introductions, seats, and table changes so you never have to break into a group by yourself.

Where exactly is it?

Somewhere comfortable in Minneapolis. The exact venue will be chosen and emailed once twelve seats fill, so we book the right-sized space.

Where does my $10 go?

It holds your seat and comes off your final ticket. If we don’t reach twelve players or the event is cancelled, it goes back to your original payment method.

Is this an official Magic event?

No. This is an independent, unofficial social event and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Wizards of the Coast.
