Cost: Initial entry cost is $29.99 and each player will receive one starter deck of their choice from Azurite Sea, one deck box, and one additional booster pack, all of which is yours to keep at the end of league.
If you have a deck box from the previous league or want to bring your own, the cost to enter will be $22.98 – one starter deck and one booster pack.
Each week thereafter the entry fee is $11.98 and includes 2 booster packs to trade and build your deck with. On the final week, January 9, we will have a constructed tournament where the entry fee of $11.98 will include one pack for your deck, and one pack for the prize pool. We will begin construction right at 6:00pm and our tournament will begin at 6:30pm, 3-rounds, 2-game format.

How it Works: Sign-ups are first come first serve until league is filled (22 players maximum) – call or sign-up in store.
The first week you will use your Starter Deck and pack to build a 60-card deck using all 6 colors. All other normal constructed rules apply. Each week, you will get one additional pack to add on to your deck, or you can trade for cards you need with other players, and you will use one less color in your deck.
We will trade and build, and then play with other league players to earn points. Your league deck and cards will be stored at Diversions in your deck box. At the end of league, you will take home your decks, cards, deck boxes, and some fun goodies!

League points will only be earned with official League Decks. You are welcome to play constructed on league night to hone your tournament/championship decks, but you will only earn league points for playing with league decks.
Only cards received as part of league weekly entry boosters can be added to an Official League Deck. These can be cards you opened in your pack, or cards you traded with another league member from their league pack.
Folks who wish to join late or who miss a week can catch up by back-paying weekly entry fees. For every back-paid entry, they can earn up to the average of points earned by league members that week and receive that many booster packs to use for their decks.
