For those who have yet to hear about this awesome new format, here is the gist:
60 card deck; Use one legendary creature or planeswalker that has all colors in your deck as a Commander,
Use cards only in standard rotation; Brawl has its own ban list with currently nothing on it.
Only 1 of any card other than basic lands,
Start at 25 life for single-player, 30 life for multiplayer,
Free mulligan.
Its a free event just to get people started into the new format and we hope to have more in the future!
See you there!

Magic the Gathering Online Inventory!
Hello all Magic players!
We know most people like shopping from the convenience of their own home. With that we would like to introduce our new Storefront for Magic the Gathering!
We are now using TCGplayer as a storefront to sell our cards. Our store is currently in its “Beta” version as we aren’t able to upload our entire inventory to TCG just yet.
Once we reach the time we can upload our entire inventory, we will take down our store for a few days while we input everything into TCG. After that, we will have a full functioning Online Store!
All you will need to do is click the store tab on our website, checkmategames.net, and it will take you to our store on TCG. Then, just put in the card you are looking for into the search bar and hit enter. Our store will still be a filter in your search if you used the store tab on our website so it won’t show anyone else’s inventory. You can also get to our store by searching a card normally through TCG, then clicking “Find a seller” on the left hand side of the screen and typing in “Checkmate”.
We will publish another post when we shut down the store, and then when we officially re-open it with our full inventory!
Thank you and play well with others!
Throne of Eldraine Pre-Release!
When King Arthur meets grim fairy-tales, you get the newest Magic set, Throne of Eldraine! This is the first set since Core 2019 that we didn’t have ANY clue what it would bring. With all the surprises and new things coming from this set, it is bound to be a great time!
You will be given a Throne of Eldraine pre-release kit which includes; 6 Throne of Eldraine packs, a spin-down die, and a promo card from the set of the rare or mythic-rare variety. You will then build a 40 card deck from the cards you opened and basic lands that we will provide. Then the tournament will begin and you have the chance to win even more packs!
Entry Fee: $25
Prize Support: 2 packs per entry, given out to top 1/3rd.
We hope to see you there!
