Magic: The League

Magic: The Gathering is the first-ever trading card game where players put together a deck of playable cards in various formats. Players can compete against each other, team up against an archenemy, or play a version of solitaire.

For our league, we play competitive one vs. one matches. Imagine taking the role of a wizard with a book of spells -- you're tossed into the arena where you must fend against other wizards with their own spellbooks. Victory comes by casting spells, summoning creatures, shooting lightning bolts, and outsmarting your opponent with crafty tricks.

Joining the league is free, and there are prizes to be won! Come join our Magic League!

League Guidelines and Rules

Check out our comprehensive list of rules and guidelines for our Magic League. Please be aware these rules may change and that we have multiple seasons within a year where things change dramatically.

Magic as an educational tool is of tremendous benefit for students. Students will learn how to sequence, comprehend rules and reading, do math, and think critically. Linear problem solving is also tested.

Magic is a fun way to get students to think in multiple dimensions. They will have to plan strategies while deck building and playing.

Ultimately, the goal is to make learning fun and have fun while learning. Allowing students to earn while they learn gives them an incentive to keep building on their skills.

HALL OF FAME

2022 Tournament of Champions

Champion:
Julian C.

Second Place:
Kris L.

Third Place:
Ramon A.

Our first-ever annual championship was a tournament for the ages. Over the course of several weeks in our double-elimination tournament, 10 players battled it out to crown our first annual Champion Supreme.

Azorius decks broke the meta with Kris defeating every challenger to stay atop the winner's bracket. Fellow Azorius player Julian was sent to loser's bracket where he began to clear house to return for a rematch. Julian took both matches to become Rancho San Juan High School's first ever Wizard One.

2022 Winter Championship

Champion:
Pedro A.

Second Place:
Ramon A.

Third Place:
Kris L.

Rancho San Juan High School's first-ever Magic: The Gathering tournament was held with one winner -- Pedro, who came back from the losers' bracket to take on top-seeded Ramon in our Winter Championship.

We had a total of 12 players who went head to head to be the best. The top four players took home prize-playmats, cards, and other goodies.
