MTG Academy: Deckbuilding
Magic the Gathering
Learn to Play
2025-08-09
12:00:00
Welcome prospective Planeswalkers, and scholarly assistants.
Pop down to Dice Saloon from 12pm to learn more about deckbuilding for the classic game of Magic: The Gathering.
As part of entry players are required to purchase 6 Play boosters. They will then open these packs to enjoy some hands-on time with MTG and learn to build decks.
There will be an instructional video once everyone has arrived, to take you through the basics, and then the deckbuilding experiments will commence. Once finished, you'll be paired up with other new deckbuilders to test the strength of your freshly made deck. You can then make any changes you want to - including building a brand new deck! We will have a member of staff on hand to aid you in deckbuilding, review your decks and guide you into your first games.
Those who are completely new to MTG are also welcome, though we do recommend that you get some practice in at the start before jumping into building a deck.
Experienced players are also very welcome at this event (and will even get a bonus goodie for helping out!). Whilst partaking in deckbuilding as well, It is always great to have extra people on hand to assist any new players- and get a few games of Sealed in, too!
We're so excited to introduce new players to our incredible MTG community. Register your interest in this event by purchasing a free ticket - spaces are limited! Don't forget to purchase your packs when you arrive, and sign in with our team at the counter.
This event will have a capacity of 16 players.
Timings:
Registration This event has a start time of 12pm. Whilst this isn't a strict arrival time - as there are no structured tournament rounds, we recommend getting here for 12pm so that everyone can be deckbuilding and playing at the same times.
ID:
This event requires all participants (or for young players, a parent) to have a MTG Arena or Companion App account to participate in this event. Please ensure you have the email address signed up for either on your ticket info or to hand on arrival.
Food & Drink:
Food and/or refreshments NOT purchased onsite are NOT permitted at our events, with the exception of water bottles. We have an onsite cafe, which provides a range of food and drink available for purchase on the day, including vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options. Hot food only may be bought on site, but requires a surcharge to be paid at the bar to do so. Anyone found to be bringing outside food and drink into the event may be asked to leave.
Buying & Selling Cards:
We are a singles retailer for multiple TCGs! Cards are available to sell to us for store credit or cash, and purchase from us both onsite and on our website, www.dicesaloonsingles.co.uk. We ask that large orders for singles are placed online prior to the event as we cannot guarantee those orders will be fulfilled in time on the day of the event. If you wish to sell singles you will be required to submit a buylist for the singles online and await its approval. When dropping off your buylist, depending on the size of the list, this may take some time to be finalized and for payment to be made.
We do not otherwise allow the selling or purchase of singles or product in store.

If you need to cancel your ticket then a full refund will be given if we are notified 7 days before the start of the event.
If less than 7 days notice is given, the cost of your ticket will only be refunded if we are able to re-sell your ticket.
Tickets are non transferable. Please do not purchase your tickets from someone else. We have had issues of people selling fake tickets for our popular events.

As such we reserve the right to cancel your order with a service charge fee to cover any losses caused. If you cancel your order also after finding the bot has not performed correctly to your parameters due to naming problems, pricing issues or anything within your control, we reserve the right to withhold an amount of the order we find reasonable, up to and not limited to 50% of the order total to cover any reasonable loss of fees, service, staffing time, handling and payment fee's. The user will also be blocked from further purchases from our webstore to prevent further disruption to the business. Any future attempts to make accounts with us will be removed and could be reported to either HMRC or Action Fraud prevention in the case or repeated charge backs.
*An example if orders being placed within seconds of a product being created. When this product has never previously existed on the webstore or had links provided to search engines. This is clearly the result of bot purchasing.
