Set a Course for Magic Academy
(August 1–September 18)
Magic Academy events offer an easy and approachable way to start playing Magic. There are two types of Magic Academy events, each tailored to a different step of the new-player experience.
Players who purchase any intro product during Magic Academy events will receive a borderless, traditional foil Trinket Mage promo card while supplies last! Intro products include Starter Kits, the Magic: The Gathering Foundations Beginner Box or Starter Collection, and six or more Play Boosters from a set. That last one includes Bundles and Play Booster boxes.
Players will also receive an Edge of Eternities-themed sticker sheet while supplies last by participating in these Magic Academy events. Give your decks an extra bit of Sotheran style.
Magic Academy: Learn to Play
The first Magic Academy event is tailored for players who are just starting to play. Over the course of the event, you'll learn the fundamental rules of the game, like the turn order, how combat works, and how to cast spells. It's a relaxed environment focused on showcasing what makes this game so amazing.
Magic Academy: Deck Building
You've learned how to play a Magic deck, now it's time to build one! Magic Academy: Deck Building events teach you to construct a deck of your own out of six Play Boosters. You'll watch a short tutorial video at the start of the event, then you'll build a deck of your own from the contents of your Play Boosters.
Standard Showdown
(August 1–September 18)
There are plenty of places to do battle other than the Edge. Try out your brand-new decks at your local game store's Standard Showdown events. With Standard rotation following the release of Edge of Eternities, the stars are the limit for the spicy Standard decks you can cook up.
Winners of each Edge of Eternities Standard Showdown will receive a traditional foil, retro frame Monstrous Rage promo card while supplies last. And, yes, there is a giant bear in the room: this card was recently banned in Standard. The timing was such that this promo was long-since printed and on its way while that decision was being made. Still, we think the promo is pretty cool, and it still sees play in Pioneer. So rage on.
Two-Headed Giant Commander Night
(August 1–September 18)
Looking to share the joys of Commander with your friends? At Two-Headed Giant Commander Nights, players can join forces in two-on-two games of Commander. Here, you'll team up with another player of your choice (or be paired with another attendee) for some casual multiplayer games.
You and your teammate will receive a traditional foil, retro frame Palladium Myr promo card while supplies last. You can find more information on these events and more in this article.
Edge of Eternities Commander Party

Commander Party events feature the four-player fun of regular Commander but with a special twist. For Edge of Eternities, you'll be fighting for control of the five planets orbiting Sothera.
