What is it ?

Magic: The Gathering Shandalar League.

We have always loved the old Microprose PC game Shandalar, and have been fascinated by trying to recreate the feel in paper Magic. Our latest attempt has you starting with a single pack of Jumpstart. That determines your Wizard’s Magic color. Play to earn coins to upgrade your decks. You can add cards to your decks base on their real-world value. There will be some other restrictions based on color and rarity. This league will give overall points, joust league points, drawing entries, and earn promo cards, not to mention an additional prize at the end of the month. Just like Joust League you can play any day but Saturday is Shandaleague day and is worth extra points. You can challenge Chris & Candi to games as well!. This league will re-set each the day before each prerelease weekend. There is one single league fee that covers all your plays for each month and the starting pack. We are hoping this will be a fun deck-building/ play experience available to all levels of Magic players without the pressure of a tournament or having to chase sets.

When is it?

You can play any time you like against anyone else in the league but games played on League Day (Saturday) earn extra points.
