When: Saturday June 21st @10:30am (We ask that all players arrive in a timely manner with their own format legal deck) Player Cap - 48 people

Where: Louks Pub 1345 Rue Notre-Dame Lachine Qc H8S 2C9

•  $5 tab to go towards drinks and food from Louks

• Entry into many Random Draw Prizes
  
  

The Cards Vault will be open during our usual operating hours of 10:00am-5:00pm, allowing participants to visit the shop between matches!

As this event will take place in a Pub, we ask that everyone be respectful of their fellow players and keep drinks and food at a safe distance from theirs and their opponent’s cards. The Cards Vault and Louks are not responsible for any damages incurred to participant’s cards and/or accessories should an accident occur. 

Players will be split into brackets based on their deck’s power level and will compete in best of 1 swiss rounds of 3-5 players. The number of players per match up and the amount of rounds will depend on the number of participating players. In the case that too few players register in a specific power level bracket they will be moved up or down a power level bracket accordingly.   

In an attempt to keep this as casual as possible we will be implementing a Commander Power Level of 2, 3, or 4. No level 5 decks are permitted for this event. Please consult the link below for information on Commander Power Levels. DECK LISTS WILL NOT BE REQUIRED BUT PROXIES ARE PROHIBITED.
