Magic the Gathering Tuesday Pauper!
Experience the Pauper format of Magic: The Gathering, where every deck uses only cards that have appeared at common rarity. A promo card is allowed only if the card itself has a common printing. If a card has ever been printed as a common in a paper release or on Magic Online, any version of that card may be played, including lands that feature a common set symbol and the L rarity code. Main decks must include at least 60 cards and there is no upper limit. This format is widely considered approachable, and thousands of raw cards are available to help build a deck.
Music Bingo!
This event at Carolina Wings - Cayce features a music-themed bingo game. Participants listen to music, play along, and compete to win.
