Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays are Casual Commander Night at Chico Magic!
Come in anytime after 4:30pm and we’ll help you find a pod to play in. We have regulars who run precons, upgraded precons, competitive decks, silly decks, and everything in between.
There are two options for entry:
- $6—and you get one booster pack from our front bin
- $10—and you get two booster packs from our front bin
Regardless of which entry you choose, the booster deal is only available if you check in to the event with your Companion app. (The store maintains a list of player emails on a spreadsheet that you can add yours to if you’d like this process to be automated when you come in to play. Just let me know!)
We have a casual community with casual-to-competitive cards. Table consent/Rule 0 applies; if you are running jank or cheese, give folks a heads up, please.
This is a casual competition environment; the primary goal is to relax and have fun—while having the opportunity to build and pilot everything from mechanically optimized and competitive decks to Jesse’s Defense Contractor pillowfort “everyone gets mana and counters” deck. If you’re looking to lock in and pulverize everyone with a weaker deck than yours, please play somewhere else.
On the other hand, if you are looking forward to learning, growing, and socializing—and you can enjoy the gathering whether you win or lose—come on in and play!
Everyone is welcome at Chico Magic—but please be aware we have a zero tolerance policy for any behavior that would compromise the psychological or physical safety of our player community. You will be removed from the store with no refund if your behavior, attitude, or body odor is disruptive to other players.
FAQ
Q: Do I have to be at the store by 4pm to participate?
A: Nope! You can arrive anytime between 4-8pm and we’ll do our best to find you a pod to play in.
Q: Does the store provide free deodorant? Should I shower before I attend this event? Does the social contract imply that we bathe and practice good personal hygiene before engaging in social events?
A: Yes, Yes, and Yes.
Q: What is the power level of players at the store?
A: We have players who run anything and everything. Our consistent community players tend to be on the higher power level, but our priority is inclusive fun and collective growth. We all want to see each other have fun and improve, to enjoy the game we all come together to play, and to learn from each other in ways that encourage future gatherings. So bring whatever decks you want to play, and remember that good pods are like good relationships: the more open communication you have before it starts, the more fulfilling it will be in the long-run.
