Learn how to put together a 40-card Magic deck with Magic Academy! Players must register with their Wizards Account. If you don't have a Wizards Account, we will help you set it up so you can participate in this and other Magic events!
The event will start with a deck building instructional video, which explains how to put together a 40-card Magic deck. Topics include:
- What is Sealed format play?
- Sorting cards by color
- Identifying key cards in the pool
- Mana curve planning
- Color combinations
Then you'll receive a Learn-to-Play brochure, pocket reference card, and sticker sheet. Players will sort out their cards into piles, identify the cards they want to build around, then build their first 40-card deck. Before event organizers split players into pairs for casual one-on-one matches, there will be a deck review phase where new players show their deck to experienced staff or players who can provide advice to those building a deck for the first time.
Event organizers will then help split players into pairs to play against each other. This will be an open play event where we will assist players in finding new opponents as needed. Players should share their decks with each other before beginning each game, and keep the conversation going while they play to help build understanding of different colors and strategies.
