Secrets of Strixhaven is fully out there, we had sealed SOS positively flying off the shelves this past weekend. If you were too cool for (magic) school and slept on picking up packs and precons and whatever else this past weekend, you might want to reconsider and come in ASAP if you want to secure some Strixhaven.
A huge thanks to all the players and fine folk who came out during prerelease weekend, it was a wonderful time — perhaps the busiest we’ve seen the shop in a hot minute — and a great reflection of how fun, passionate, and inclusive this community can be. It’s always nice to return to some MTG Classic™ and we’re glad + grateful to be a part of it.
Moving on from old business to new business, the big-time banner item this week (outside of all the stuff actually happening this week) is COMMANDERJAM 2026! It’s back! It’s formally announced! You can read the post right here, it’s on socials, and you’ll certainly hear more about it in the near future!
Of course, we can’t leave a Dispatch without talking about this week’s events. So, here’s what we’ve got happening at TGP presently:
MTG Premodern Cash Tournament
Saturday, April 25, 12:00 p.m.
Premodern MTG is a community-driven format consisting of the sets from Fourth Edition to Scourge. Classic, old frame cards printed between 1995 and 2003, which were standard legal at some point during this period. See the list of all legal sets here, check out the entire Premodern card pool here. Folks have been playing a lot of Premodern in the Triangle recently, and it’s been getting traction at events and tournaments we’re adding a cash tourney into the rotation at The Gathering Place!
Entry is $30 per player, all that entry goes back into the prize pool, and registration is still up on the TGP online store!
The Gathering Place is taking it to the streets on Sunday, April 26 with a Two-Headed Giant that’s entirely set in da Big Apple! It’s New York City, baby! Teams of two squaring up for three Swiss Rounds of 2v2 MTG play!
Entry is $35 per person, $70 per team. Each team of two will receive one prerelease kit of Spider-Man and one prerelease kit of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The 2HG Tournament will run for three Swiss rounds, and teams will receive two packs per win per player.
The fourth set of the Gundam TCG comes out in April, and The Gathering Place is having our prerelease event on Sunday, April 26! Players are looking at $30 entry for a six-pack sealed prerelease tournament complete with promos and prize support.
This has been a pretty sizable post for the week, and way more visually-oriented than usual. If that’s working for you, or not, let us know. But there is more more important line item to consider, and that’s the imminent LDOC for UNC students. Last year, Alpha Pie teamed up with Sangam for a patio party and benefit night, and we’re running that back this year too. What’s more, Alpha Pie has some specialty slices in the works for the event.
As always, thanks for reading. For hanging, for playing, for being part of what we do here week after week, month after month, and year after year. It means the world, and we’re proud to be your third space. See you around, friends.
Remember Commanderjam 2025? Because we’re running it back for 2026! Another year, another Commanderjam, and The Gathering Place is working hard to make this year’s iteration even better!
The second annual Commanderjam is set to include a Commander Legends draft, special pods for Two-Headed Giant EDH as well as a return of Planechase, a huge convention table setup run by none other than the Mohawk Man himself, artists and friends of the shop, door prizes all day, Alpha Pie pizza rockin’ out the downstairs service window, another round of deckbuilding workshops — it’s all here, it’s all happening, it’s all COMMANDERJAM and it’s on Saturday, May 16!
If you’re interested in participating in this year’s COMMANDERJAM, check out our form right here! Answer some questions, sign up for specialty events, and get your name on the list early for the biggest and best door prizes of the day!
We’re also working on bringing back some old friends: the Wheel of Fortune, the Magic Hole, we’ll have discounts and deals all day long in celebration of Magic’s most popular format.
Here’s a rough schedule of events, as we’ve planned them so far:
2:00 p.m. — 2HG and Planechase pods in-person signups open, first door prize drawings of the day!
Sign up for Two-Headed Giant Commander and Planechase Pods via the Commanderjam Formto guarantee your spot!
2:30 p.m. — 2HG and Planechase pods fire
3:00 p.m. — Door prize drawings continue for everyone in-store, Commander pods form + fire as table space allows with special Commanderjam prize support. For folks interested in playing unaltered preconstructed decks and exhibition cEDH games, we’ll pair you up accordingly!
Space on Commanderjam Saturday might be a little tougher to come by, and TGP staff are going to prioritize finding seating for groups playing MTG. We’re going to make sure there’s some additional space outside on the Alpha Pie patio for anyone who’d like to hang outdoors and play MTG al fresco, as well!
4:00 p.m. — Deckbuilding Workshop sessions with Preston “Ironworks” Stevenson + friends open on a first-come, first-served basis. Possible guest-star inclusions for cEDH learn-to-play and other topics!
We’ll keep announcing more about Commanderjam in the near future as things get more confirmed and the day continues to take shape. But we’re delighted to bring this event back for 2026, and we hope to see you on Saturday 5/16!

This week at The Gathering Place, obviously the big news is Magic’s new set: Secrets of Strixhaven! The Mystical Archive has some heat behind it, the Limited environment is looking real fun, and it feels like right now is a great time for Magic to spend a little time in-universe, revisiting old friends and going back-to-basics with color pairs and signature mechanics.
Before we get into the meat and potatoes, a couple links:
and, since it’s the banner item, might as well give it a graphic and a big ol’ button:
Of course, there’s still plenty of other things happening. All the locals are still in play, but expect the shop to be a little busier on prerelease weekend than usual. It’s all pretty standard you know the drill. By way of keeping this week’s Dispatch moving, here’s details on what’s popping up at The Gathering Place in the near future:
MTG Premodern Cash Tournament
Saturday, April 25, 12:00 p.m.
Premodern MTG is a community-driven format consisting of the sets from Fourth Edition to Scourge.

That just about does it for this week. Happy spell-slinging at Strixhaven, good luck to all in matchups, draws, pack pulls and everything else. We’ll see you around!
This week at The Gathering Place, the first full week in April has a lot happening! An MTG Modern RCQ, a big-time Team Trios event, a Strixhaven draft in anticipation of the new set and more!
This Friday’s FNM event will be a draft of Strixhaven, as previously discussed. This week we’re also hosting all the usual locals for MTG, One Piece, Sorcery, FAB, Riftbound and Gundam. Sunday’s MTG draft is a Standard draft, and this Saturday we’ll have karaoke with DJ Leo as per usual.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the big ticket items this week. You’ve probably seen them before, by now, but it’s always worth highlighting the details we’ve got posted over on the TGP Events Page.
MTG Modern RCQ
Saturday, April 11, 11:30 a.m.
Modern is a tight, quick, cohesive way to play competitive Magic. Encompassing decades of MTG history and comprised of the landscape born from experiencing Magic: The Gathering’s growing pains, Modern is a slower format in terms of cards added and lack of rotation, but much faster in every other way.
Monthly cash tournaments at The Gathering Place rotate between Modern, Legacy and Vintage. Since it’s Modern RCQ season, we’re upgrading the usual MTG Modern Cash Tournament to a full-tilt RCQ. Comp REL, no proxy, all gas, no brakes.
$30 entry per player, all entry in the prize pool. This is a one-slot RCQ, winner gets placement and a path to the Pro Tour. We’re also throwing extra prizing in the mix: TGP recently took in a trade of a Modern Yawgmoth deck shell, and we’re tossing the whole thing in the prize pool. Box, sleeves, dice, cards, the whole deal. You want details on the Yawg deck? Talk to Preston the next time you’re in the shop!
cEDH standard-bearers from the local community have teamed up with Girlypop Magic for a different kind of learn-to-play! Taking the signature Girlypop group from casual commander tables to a more competitive vibe — all femme, fluid, non-binary and beyond are cordially invited to “cEDH 101” to learn about competitive play patterns, combo lines, and what it’s like to fight ferociously at the highest level of MTG Commander play!
Here’s a post direct from the folks running the event!
Hey y’all! We are partnering with Girly Pop Magic to host a learn to play cEDH event this Saturday at TGP from 1-6 PM. This event is for players of all backgrounds and skill levels to learn about and get into playing cEDH. We will have proxy decks to borrow with experienced players helping out and facilitating games. We will also be going over the differences between Bracket 4 commander and Bracket 5, notable decks and strategies, and ways to get involved with the local cEDH community. If you have ever been curious about cEDH this is a great opportunity to come learn about the format, meet new folks, and just have a fun Saturday afternoon! Hope to see y’all there!
MTG Team Trios Tournament (Premodern, Legacy, Vintage)
Sunday, April 12, 12:00 p.m.
You asked for it, we organized it! MTG Trios with Premodern, Legacy and Vintage at TGP!
The tournament is on Sunday, April 12
It kicks off at noon, 12:00 p.m.
Buy in is $30 per player
Team Trios has come a long way from 2011, and this triple-header format features what folks have asked for the most: Premodern, Legacy and Vintage! All format rulesets apply, we’re going to enforce rules at competitive level, Prizing and Rounds will depend on attendance.
If you’re familiar with TGP’s typical cash tournament structure, that’s what we’re working with here. All entry back in the prize pool, AND this Team Trios Tournament is Full Proxy Friendly! (all the typical TGP rules apply there, too. Make sure those proxies are easily identifiable across the table!)
**Trinity Assembly Required! Come with your team filled out, TGP will not be able to provide teammates for solos or duos.**
Of course, in the immediate future we’ll be running prerelease sealed tournaments for Secrets of Strixhaven, all that sweet, sweet Mystical Archive-having product will be on shelves at TGP, and the rest of the tournaments and events in April will keep on happening. The Premodern Cash Tournament, the NYC Two-Headed Giant tournament, it’s gonna be rad, April is looking fantastic.
Also, there’s some truly excellent sake on tap right now, check it out sometime. See you around!
Before we get to the rest of today’s post, here’s what’s happening this week:
Monthly D&D Learn to Play session at TGP / Wednesday at 6:00 p.m.
Take your first steps into the world of D&D with a guided session led by our own Ben Creed!
Girlypop Magic Commander Night / Thursday at 6:00 p.m.
Come play Magic in a femme-forward, highly inclusive, overwhelmingly welcoming environment. Girlypop has quickly become one of the biggest things running monthly at TGP!
Old School Thursday (MTG ’93-’94) / Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
It literally is your grandpa’s Magic, and it’s really cool and fun
MTG FNM Draft: Theros Beyond Death / Friday at 7:00 p.m.
It’s all Greek to everybody this Friday, as our Draft heads to Theros for some Heroic Age action
cEDH Invitational Tournament / Saturday at 12:00 p.m.
You’ve heard about it quite a bit, expect this to be a BIG tournament. It’s a qualifier for the Black Lotus Invitational, this Saturday’s prize pool includes a Beta Wheel put up by TGP, and the competition is looking fierce.
D&D Combat Arena Session / Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
A new addition to the TGP lineup, Sunday sessions are combat-focused, crunchy D&D! There’s a six-player cap per DM and registration is in-person only.
This is the last time you’ll hear about the April cEDH Invitational because it’s this Saturday, but one last time: there’s a guaranteed Beta Wheel in the prize pool. If you’d like to sign up on TopDeck, click here. You have have noticed we’ve taken all other Saturday events off the calendar for 4/4 — that’s because preregistration for this cEDH tournament would suggest we’re not gonna have a whole lot of spare space at the shop. If you want to come hang out at TGP, plan for that amount of attendance. Come grab a drink, pick up some cards, crack some packs, hang at the bar — but don’t plan on being able to secure a six-top to play Catan.
The TGP online store continues to be added to, with more inventory now than ever before. Precons, singles, higher-end MTG, there’s so much in there these days. Go give it a look!
Next week’s schedule is looking stacked, as well! Obviously, all the event information and listings are on the TGP Events Page and calendar, but now’s a great time to consider signing up formally for the MTG Modern RCQ or next Sunday’s MTG Team Trios Tournament!
(signups on the day obviously still welcome, but it can be nice to have a spot secured in advance!)
That about wraps it up for this week! Secrets of Strixhaven comes out real soon, April is set to be a fun month at The Gathering Place, and we’re excited to host so many great events for a great community. See you around!
This week at TGP we’re getting ready for a fully-stacked end to March as we host a bunch of events and get ready to start April off in a big way. Tournaments, prereleases, there’s a lot happening!
This week, you can be on the lookout for:
Friday Night Magic draft of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Friday at 7:00 p.m.
The next MTGPunks tournament, a Pauper Cash Tournament showdown, Saturday at 12:00 p.m.
The Finale Tournament for our March Madness Chaos Commander League, Saturday at 1:00 p.m.
Gundam TCG ST09 Release Event, Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
One Piece TCG OP15 Prerelease Event, Sunday at 1:00 p.m.
All of that’s on the calendar and we’ve been doing our best to get info and promo out there, so you probably know all about all that stuff by now. To that end, we’ve already formally planned and listed all the way through April, and published a whole post about it! Check it out here!
April is positively popping with a whole lot of fun stuff, and we’ve specifically arranged to have preregistration on the TGP online store for as much as possible. So, give it a look, and we’re excited to see you at some of those events and tournaments next month!
Speaking of the TGP online store, the Distro Dungeon has been hard at work! There’s literally over a thousand new cards added to online inventory. A slew of singles, a cavalcade of cardboard, a bevvy of beautiful cards to peruse. Go give it a look if you haven’t noticed already.
Last on the list of housekeeping items for this week is the cEDH Invitational scheduled for the first Saturday in April. Saturday, April 4, is a date worth everyone’s time to remember.
You may have already clocked, we’ve taken all other events at TGP off the calendar for that day. This pretty much had to happen, because preregistration for this cEDH Invitational is HUGE. If you’d like to sign up and come play cEDH, we’ll see you on April 4! If you’re not planning on playing in the tournament, it may be a good idea to plan another day to come hang out at The Gathering Place. It’s going to be packed, and non-tournament table space is going to be tight. Come grab a drink, pick up some cards, crack some packs, but don’t plan on being able to secure a six-top to play Catan or jam a game of Commander.
Product Release(s) in April: MTG Secrets of Strixhaven, Gundam TCG GD04: Phantom Aria
D&D Learn to Play
Wednesday, April 1, 6:00 p.m.
The first Wednesday of each month, TGP’s own Ben Creed (a friendly face known for comedy, trivia, and TCG excellence in both One Piece and MTG) will be your guide as you take your first steps into the Forgotten Realms.
The Learn to Play session starts at 6:00 p.m. and players don’t have to provide anything but themselves. Well, themselves and also a general openness, a will to learn and the expectation that role playing might feel a little goofy at first — but, the knowledge that the more you lean into it the more fun you’ll have. If you’ve always been D&D curious, if you’ve seen it portrayed in popular media, if you’ve been watching actual play shows or listening to podcasts like Dimension 20 or Critical Role, this is your opportunity to start your own story!
Girlypop Magic Commander Night
Thursday, April 2, 6:00 p.m.
We are honored to be hosting local femme-forward all-stars Girlypop Magic the first Thursday of each month at The Gathering Place! Join us for a free and fun night of MTG Commander-focused events for femme, non-binary, and gender expansive folks!
GPM comes by TGP every month, so come back the first Thursday and play some fun games with some truly excellent people!
The CEDH Invitational Series is BACK, and The Gathering Place is beyond excited to once again have the pleasure of hosting some of the finest CEDH players in the country! On the road to glory, and the path to winning a Black Lotus, we’re even putting up a piece of prizing all our own: the Invitational Tournament on April 4 at TGP will feature a BETA WHEEL going to first place!
Modern is a tight, quick, cohesive way to play competitive Magic. Encompassing decades of MTG history and comprised of the landscape born from experiencing Magic: The Gathering’s growing pains, Modern is a slower format in terms of cards added and lack of rotation, but much faster in every other way.
