Students at Strixhaven University learn about magic from across the Multiverse, and each college offers its own perspective and techniques for harnessing magic. Lorehold, for example, searches for critical spells from throughout history, while Quandrix calculates the mathematically correct calibration of an artifact to perfectly balance out their arsenal.

As a student at the renowned university, you're charting your path to mastery by choosing a college and assembling your most powerful spells.

Now, it's time for you to test your mettle and flex your magical skills in the Strixhaven Historic Brawl Fest!

Special Session - Summer School: August 12–24

We know everyone has been waiting eagerly for Jumpstart: Historic Horizons and open enrollment for Historic Brawl, but please pardon our dust as we get things in order. Until the queue is available, bring your 100-card decks to the Historic Brawl Fest event and play as much as you like. The event begins on August 12, there's no entry fee, and you'll receive a few bonus mastery levels for your first win.

Enjoy!
