Blanchard Woods BMXWednesday Commander at CoolStuffGames Augusta
A Commander night for Magic: The Gathering players features a Swiss-style structure with two rounds. Entry is a booster pack of your choice, and pairings will match participants with other players. A minimum of four players is required for the event to proceed. Prizes are handled at the discretion of the manager on duty while supplies last. A judge may be called at any time to resolve rules interactions, though judges will not offer strategic guidance. Trading between players is allowed, but buying or selling with anyone other than Cool Stuff Games staff is prohibited and may result in removal from the property, a permanent ban, or involvement of law enforcement. The store may limit the space used for trading, and large containers such as suitcases, handcarts, or luggage carts are not permitted for transporting extensive trade stock. Please keep food and drinks off the tables unless signage indicates otherwise. Horseplay, roughhousing, discourteous behavior, and foul language are not allowed. Report any lost or unattended items to a staff member, and have a great time.
