MTG Drafts at TGP in 2026
The Gathering Place is changing how we run our weekly Draft events for Magic: The Gathering starting in June of 2026, and we’re excited to outline the roll out of our new Draft plans for any established enjoyers of Limited play and any newer folks who’d like to give cracking packs and playing cards a go.
Friday Night Magic is a long-standing tradition in the MTG community, and here at TGP we want to do our best to continue cultivating a strong Magic community. Part of that is making sure Friday Night Magic (FNM) is a big deal with a firm focus on what’s currently happening in the game.
Starting in June, Friday Night Magic Drafts will be whatever we have in stock that’s the newest Standard set in MTG. Price for entry will reflect that, as will pack prizing and the promos provided by Wizards. We’re going to kick FNM firmly into gear when it comes to running events live and direct with what’s fresh off the presses.
Of course, The Gathering Place doesn’t just run MTG Draft events on Fridays — we’ve been hosting Sunday Draft events for quite a while! Since Fridays are now exclusively for what’s new, hot and happening with MTG we’ve opened up some space for fun stuff on Sundays! To prove the point, here’s what we’re drafting in June on Sundays:
LOTR / Week 1 – $50 , 24 player cap
Conspiracy: Take The Crown / Week 2 – $35, 24 player cap
Ikoria / Week 3 – $35, no cap
Mystery Booster / Week 4 – $55, 16 player cap
Prizing for these TGP Draft events on Sundays will also be handled differently. Instead of packs, prizing will be given in the form of store credit. $10 per win for anyone with a winning record across three Swiss rounds, with a Foil Promo Pack for the top / undefeated player.
You’ll see signups for these Sunday MTG Drafts posted online over on the preregistration section of the TGP Online Shop soon. Thanks for reading, and we look forward to hosting some great Draft tournaments in the immediate future!
