Questions
What are bragging rights?
It means that there are not prizes or earnings. Just the right to brag that you are the unofficial world champion in MTG. How cool is that?!
Are there any participation requirements?
Yes, to participate you must be a member of our Discord community and have a updated and working Magic: The Gathering Arena account.
What are the deck requirements?
You can play a standard deck of 60 cards, any color. No legendary cards or plainswalkers allowed.
What does 'free but mandatory' mean?
It means that it's free to register and play, but that participation is mandatory. If you fail to compete each month, you'll be removed from the tournament and will be barred from participating in the future.
