Magic Academy: Learn to Play

Magic Academy is a free event for new players to learn to play Magic: the Gathering.

Every participant will get two open house promos:

Players who purchase any intro product during Magic Academy events will receive a borderless, traditional foil Darksteel Colossus promo card while supplies last! Intro products include Starter Kits, the Foundations Beginner Box or Starter Collection, and six or more Play Boosters from a set. That last one includes Bundles and Play Booster boxes.

If you have a friend who wants to play Magic, take them to the Magic Academy events! We will provide special Ajani Community Tutor pins to experienced and friendly players.

Magic Academy: Learn to Play

The first Magic Academy event is tailored for players who are just starting to play. You’ll receive a “Learn to Play” brochure that breaks down the basics of the game, along with a reference card with all the essential details. Over the course of the event, you’ll learn through playing casual games of Magic with beginner-friendly cards, all with some helpful Magic experts ready to assist you.

One of the ways you may learn about Magic is Welcome Decks. These contain everything you need to play, with cards that are exciting from across Magic‘s history. There are five different Welcome Decks—one for each color of Magic—with 30 cards each. Each Welcome Deck includes two 30-card decks in each box; one in an indicated color, and the other a random one of the five mana colors in Magic.

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. Head to your local game store for a Learn to Play event or bring a friend along and spread the joy of Magic.
