Class is in session… but something has gone terribly wrong.

Deep within Strixhaven University, the forbidden archives have been opened. Ancient magic—long sealed away—has begun to seep back into the halls. Spells are behaving unpredictably. Rivalries between colleges are boiling over. And no one knows if this knowledge was meant to be found… or forgotten forever.

Now, the students step forward.

This is your moment to choose your college, harness unstable magic, and prove that you can control what others cannot.

📦 Prizing

🏅 Top 8 — Increased prizing based on standings

🧠 Your Final Exam
Master your college’s magic
Adapt to unpredictable spells
Outplay every rival in your path

Because at Strixhaven…

knowledge is power.
power is dangerous.
And only one student will graduate at the top of the class.

Seats are limited—enrollment ends when class is full.

💘🔥 TONIGHT! — Two-Headed Giant Commander Valentine’s Event @ 7pm 🔥💘
Love is in the air… and so are combat triggers. ❤️
Grab your favorite teammate and join us TONIGHT for bracket-style 2HG Commander!
Two players. One life total. Zero relationship counseling provided. 😂
💕 Shared 60 life
💥 Bracket 3 (Upgraded) decks
❌ No extra turns (sharing is caring)
☠️ No poison (we don’t allow toxic relationships)
Bring your best deck, your best teammate, and prepare for big plays and bad puns.
Two heads are better than one… unless you forget your triggers. See you tonight! 💘

This Friday and Saturday at 7 pm each day we are holding a -
💘 Two-Headed Giant Commander - Valentine’s Edition events 💘
Because nothing says love like sharing a life total.
In this Two-Headed Giant Commander tournament, teams of two players will face off in a bracket-style battle of the heart (and the stack), where coordination, timing, and big plays decide who truly belongs together. Bring your significant other, best friend, or that person who always says “I have a response” at the perfect time.
Expect powerful synergies, high card quality, and dramatic turns, with teams sharing a 60 life total — just like a relationship, you’re in it together. Games are expected to last six or more turns, because true love (and good Magic) takes time.
House Rules (Clean & Simple):
This event uses the standard Commander ban list with two extra rules to keep things fair and feelings intact:
❤️ No extra-turn effects (because one partner hogging all the turns is a red flag)
☠️ No Infect or poison counters (toxic relationships are banned)
That’s it - everything else legal in Commander is fair game, as long as your deck fits Bracket 3 expectations. Build strong, communicate often, and remember: if your combo fizzles, at least you failed together.
