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.

Bang Back Pinball League- The Grateful Summer 2026

A summer pinball league themed The Grateful Summer brings players together at Bang Back for friendly, competitive fun. Each week features six rounds of group match play, using 5/3/2/1 or 5/3/1 scoring with balanced pairings across the series. The first half of the season runs as two rounds of three games each week. In the second half, play splits into A and B divisions, and each division votes on either one longer round of six games or two rounds of three. Across the eight week season, only your best six weeks count toward the standings. The season fee is $30 plus coin drop for games, and dues include a league shirt, an end of season tournament, a banquet with a fun team competition, food, trophies and awards, and cash payouts for all participants. Open to all ages and skill levels, the league focuses on learning the game, meeting new people, and having fun. To register, speak with a bartender or manager at Bang Back and pay in person with cash or Square.
