Cost: Initial entry cost is $29.99 and each player will receive one starter deck of their choice from Reign of Jafar, one deck box, and one additional booster pack, all of which is yours to keep at the end of league.

On the final week, July 10th, 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 (30 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 two additional packs 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 prizes. 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!
Additional guidelines:
-You are welcome to play constructed on league night to hone your tournament/championship decks.
