– Decklists are required for Saturday's event, and by decklists we mean a clear photo of your deck & sideboard. Please send all decklist photos to manager@dicecity.games BEFORE the event begins.



– We will be taking photos on the day and streaming on twitch. By attending, you agree to having your deck, and/or your likeness photographed/videoed, and possibly shared on our social media (though please feel free to explicitly let us know beforehand if you don't consent to be tagged in social media or photographed, as that is perfectly fine). The official event write-up will be posted later in North American Old School Magic on facebook, and beyond.

Day 2 Event Details: – Sunday's Main Event is a unique draft featuring three draft packs, each made up of 2x packs of The Dark, Fallen Empires, and Homelands. Players will draft them in order, and construct 40 card decks featuring basic lands of the era, which Dice City Games will provide. – Sunday's events take place in-store at Dice City Games. 11406-B Georgia Avenue. Silver Spring, MD 20902. On Sundays, parking is FREE at meters and in the adjacent parking lots in-front of behind the shopping center – For those who will be able to attend but not draft, we will host our take on Old School EDH both during and afte the draft. We wouldn't have the format known as "Commander" today if it wasn't for the Elder Dragon Highlander era. We will be using a modified version of the Beast of the Bay's Old Scool EDH guidelines. We are using the same Banned list, but additonally, the sets Ice Age, Homelands, and Alliances are legal. Naturally, any ante cards from those sets are banned. All reprints of cards from the sets Alpha thru Alliances will be encouraged, and all reprints are allowed (yes even Dominaria Icy Manipulators can be used in a pinch. This also means that some favorites from The Dark like Uncle Istvan are legal as commanders! Casual pods will fire on demand. DAY 1 PRIZES: To celebrate The Dark's 25th Anniversary we aim to give out a large number of sweet prizes, and to incentivize creative and celebratory builds. 1st Place - the winner will receive a special etched trophy commissioned by Dice City OS / Fellwar Stoner, Nicholas Batista! AND, a Revised Tundra signed by Jesper Myrfors! Top 8 Finish - awarded in order by record, in a "Rochester Draft" of desirable prize cards from the Dark and/or signed by Jesper Myrfors. Most Moons - We will evaluate all decks for (proportionally) the most number of The Dark's crescent moon set set symbol (FBB, Chronicles, etc. are fine, but reprints that do not feature The Dark set symbol will not be weighted in to the count, unless as a tie-breaker). So, if your deck and sideboard feature 75 cards and 30 of them are from the Dark but another player's deck features 100 cards but only 33 of them are from The Dark, the player with proportionally the most The Dark cards (in this case 30) would win this category. The Prize is a special dice bag from Jesper Myrfors.

Best Use of The Dark set - This prize will go to the player that our style judges deemed put the most effort into buidling around impactful or under-utilized cards from The Dark set. The prize is a hi-rez replica of an uncut rare/uncommon sheet of The Dark!

Most Creative - For a build that focuses on fun and creative deck-building and under-utilized cards, asides from Legends. The winner will receive a Magic magazine (Scrye / Duelist) from circa 1994.

Best Budget - The highest placing deck that does not feature any of the following cards: Black Lotus, Ancestral Recall, Time Walk, Timetwister, The five Moxes, Library of Alexandria, Bazaar of Baghdad, Mishra's Workshop, or Chaos Orb will recieve a custom-art proxy of one of those powerful cards, which will be allowed at Dice City Old School events.

Community Prizes will be awarded to each player in attendance to support the "everybody wins" notion of Old School. Please bring a playable Old School legal card to throw in to the prize pool. These Prizes will be stamped, and signed by each player.

DAY 2 PRIZES:

Draft prizes will be awarded from Dice City Games and may include singles from any Old School set, as well as rare collectibles from Magic's heyday. All attendees will get a commemorative card from Dice City that we will sign. We also encourage you to save a wrapper from The Dark to have your opponents sign.

Tournament Site Logistics:

– The first day of this event is held at a neighborhood Irish pub, at which we have retained the dining room explicitly for our event, (their bar will be open to the public during that time.) The Limerick offers great food from burgers to authentic Irish cuisine like boxty and shepherds pie, to vegan specialities ranging from bangers & mash to the Impossible burger. They have a sizeable whiskey and beer menu. All attendees are required to be over the age of 21 with valid I.D., and are encouraged to support this fine local establishment by patronizing their menu and tipping the servers. Individuals attending this event are responsible for their own belongings.

Dice City offers the ambiance of time-travel -- it's part part 90's game shop, part Old School Magic Gallery, featuring the world's largest Magic mosaic along with other art & ephemera from our favorite era.
