Junior Magic the Gathering for Ages 15 and Under

Starting at 12 noon on the second and forth Saturday each Month, All Fun & Games will be having Magic: The Gathering tournaments for kids. In a friendly environment, we’ll be hosting Booster Drafts on the second Saturday to help teach kids magic and the basics of Magic’s limited formats. The entry fee is normally $10 to cover the three packs used in this limited format, and the prize support in the form of promotional cards. Sealed Deck will be on the fourth Saturday each Month, which is a slightly different limited format from the Booster Draft. The Sealed Deck entry fee is $20, due to the larger amount of product needed (6 packs).

The Draft format involves opening three packs, and then passing those cards around a table and choosing one card from each hand passed. Participants get to keep the cards they pick from these hands and build a deck from them, which they will then play with. The Sealed Deck format involves opening 6 packs and building a deck from those cards to place with, which they also get to keep.

Junior magic players are of course always welcome to come and play casual games, even if they do not wish to participate in the above tournaments.

At Pre-Release events, Junior Magic: The Gathering will be Open Dueling event available for all players which is appropriate for younger players, as it only involves playing casual games with a pre-constructed deck.
