Attention all Magic: The Gathering (MTG) fans in Eastern Kentucky and the surrounding Magoffin County area! If you’re looking to dive into the world of Commander, build lasting friendships, and engage in exciting, friendly competition, the 2024 AppalachiaTCG Pre-con Commander League is your perfect opportunity.
This year, AppalachiaTCG is thrilled to introduce the Pre-con Commander League — a welcoming community focused on growing the local MTG scene, and we want you to be a part of it!
What is the Pre-con Commander League?
For those who may be new to Magic: The Gathering or are curious about Commander, let’s break it down. Commander is a fun, multiplayer format where each player uses a 100-card deck built around a legendary creature, known as the Commander. What makes this format so popular is its casual, social nature — it’s the perfect way to play Magic with friends and newcomers alike.
The Pre-con Commander League is designed specifically around pre-constructed decks. These decks are easy to acquire and are built to be balanced, giving everyone a fair chance to compete without the need for expensive, custom-built decks. This means you can jump into the game with a ready-to-play deck and start having fun immediately!
Whether you’re a seasoned Magic player or a total beginner, the Pre-con Commander League will provide a friendly environment for you to test your skills, learn from others, and, most importantly, have fun.
Why Should You Join?
Here are just a few reasons to get excited about the new AppalachiaTCG Pre-con Commander League:
1. Accessible to All Skill Levels
The beauty of our league is that it’s open to players of all skill levels. Since we’re using pre-constructed decks, the playing field is even, so newcomers won’t feel overwhelmed, and experienced players can focus on strategy and skill, rather than relying on expensive cards. This creates a fun, competitive environment where everyone has a chance to shine.
2. Connect with the Local Magic Community
Playing in the AppalachiaTCG Pre-con Commander League is more than just about winning matches — it’s about building connections. You’ll meet fellow Magic enthusiasts from Eastern Kentucky and the surrounding counties, creating friendships that will last far beyond the game. Whether you’re from Salyersville, Paintsville, or nearby areas, this league is a great way to connect with like-minded players in your community.
3. Regular Events, Pack Upgrades, and Trades
We’re planning a series of regular meetups and league nights, giving you plenty of opportunities to hone your skills and compete for bragging rights. Each event will offer a relaxed, yet exciting atmosphere where you can play with a variety of opponents, making each match unique.
To make the experience even more exciting, we are allowing 3 pack upgrades during each event (1 PACK must be purchased to play ~$5). This means you can open new booster packs and make limited upgrades to your pre-con deck, keeping it fresh while still ensuring balanced gameplay. In addition, trades between players will be permitted, so you can swap cards with your fellow players to customize your deck and adapt to new strategies. The cards you don’t want will be dedicated to the league box for that season which you can take from to use to upgrade etc. This adds an exciting layer of progression and community interaction to each league event!
4. Prizes and Recognition
What’s a league without some great rewards? In addition to having a blast playing Magic, participants will have the opportunity to win prizes for top performances, sportsmanship, and other fun categories. At AppalachiaTCG, we want to celebrate every player’s contribution, so expect fun incentives for all kinds of achievements.
2024 Season Details
Our 2024 season will run from when the league starts (Soon Oct 2024), till January 2025 then we will start a new season, with events scheduled throughout the year.
