1. Can anyone attend the Standard States?

No, there is no age limit to play in the Standard States. We have players as young as 6 and as old as 70 play in our Magic events

3. Do I have to bring anything to the tournament?

The Magic States - Standard events are a Standard (type II) event. You must bring a 60-card minimum deck to play with. For more rules about Standard (type II), click HERE.


4. What time do I have to be there?

Doors open at 9am and you must register for the tournament between 9am and 9:45am. The tournament will start at 10am.

5. What is a DCI card and how do I get one?

The DCI is the rating system that Wizards of the Coast (maker of Magic cards) uses to track how well you do in tournaments. If you have never played in a DCI event, you can sign up for free at any Gray Matter event. If you have a DCI number, but forgot it, we can look it up for you at the event.

6. What is a booster draft?

A booster draft is another type of tournament. They are limited to 8 players. Each player receives 3 booster packs to play. Prizes are awarded to the top 2 players.

7. What time does the Standard States end?

It depends on how well you do. States events have between 6-8 rounds, and each round lasts 1 hour. If you are in the final 8, the event will continue until a winner is declared.
