The Guildhouse Cup

Magic: The Gathering Store Championship Event

Guildhouse Winter Cup Tournament — Discord Event Description

The cold has settled over the Guildhouse, and the fires of Lorwyn call champions to the table. The Guildhouse Winter Cup Tournament is a seasonal Commander event focused on flavor, mastery, and fair play.

Event Rules & Restrictions

1️⃣ All Bracket 3 Rules Apply

2️⃣ Lorwyn Typal Challenge

3️⃣ No Two-Card Infinite or Win-Condition Combos

  • All infinite or win-condition combos must require a minimum of three cards.
