Magic Presents: God of Mischief

is a three-versus-one Commander event. One player assumes the role of Loki, the God of Mischief himself, and has access to a set of advantages called “Loki’s Tricks.” The other three players assemble as the heroes and team up against Loki, braving the significant advantages provided by Loki’s Tricks.

On each of their turns, the Loki player must select a new Trick from the options available on the play aid. The other three players, the heroes, take their turns simultaneously and have a shared life total of 60. All participants receive the participation promo card Table fee’s are only €5

More about Alton

Derbyshire, England

Alton sits quietly in Derbyshire with a charm that never goes out of fashion. The market square is usually full of stalls selling local produce or handmade crafts on a Saturday morning. It feels like stepping back in time without having to wear a top hat and tailcoat. There are plenty of reasons to visit beyond the village green, especially when the weather turns crisp. Community halls often host plays that make you laugh until your sides hurt, while local pubs keep the conversation flowing long into the night. Near Here keeps track of what's on so you don't have to guess which door to knock on.
