Questions about Mana on Tap
I'm new to Magic. Can I still come?
Yes. The host will get you into a game and talk you through the basics as you play. Plenty of people learn their first game at Mana on Tap.
What formats can I play?
Commander is the main game on the night, but every casual format is welcome. Pauper, Modern, Standard, whatever you love, there's a seat for you if you can find a few people to play it with.
Do I need my own deck?
No, decks are provided. Ask the host when you arrive and they'll set you up. If you've got your own, bring it along.
Can I buy cards on the night?
No, cards aren't sold at Mana on Tap. Bring your own decks, trade binders and sleeves along.
What if I want to play competitively?
That's fine, as long as everyone at your table is on board for a cEDH or other competitive game. The night is about bringing new and experienced players together, so be flexible with mixed skill levels and keep it fun.
How do I find the right table for me?
Have a chat with the other players before you start and the host will help match you with a pod at your level. If you've got plenty of decks, try a few against different groups.
Can I just walk in, or do I need a ticket?
Grab a free ticket so we know you're coming, but you can always just walk in. It's free to play, and the pub is open for food and drinks as normal.
Can under 18s come along?
Sessions run inside the pub, so the venue's own rules for minors apply. Check with the pub before bringing anyone under 18.
