Anyone wanna play Magic the Gathering at a brewery?

So like, 4 years ago... my friend group and I would go to bars and breweries and play our favorite card game. Our group kept growing and growing... and eventually we decided to make it a full-on thing. Now, twice a year, we do the Draft League.

It's happening this summer and I want to invite you if you're interested.

Boise Magic Draft League is back this July. It's 8 weeks, at 8 breweries, one chaotic good time 🍺

Every Tuesday July 7 through August 25, we're drafting MTG sets at a different downtown Boise brewery each week.

Just gotta register ahead of time. It's cheaper if you sign up before June.

Final Fantasy, Modern Horizons 3, a few made-up mixer drafts, a full Chaos draft to close it out... all sorts of different types of magic experiences.

Casual players, competitive players - all welcome. You'll learn how to play/draft or you can show us how impressive your skills are. Either way, you'll dig it.

Doors at 6pm, drafts start 6:30 sharp. Show up early, grab a beer, make some friends, lose to someone's bomb rare. The usual.

See you at Payette on July 7 ✌️

PSA: Boise has a HUGE Magic: The Gathering scene

Figured I'd throw this out here for the nerds and curious people alike. The Boise Magic Draft League is back for Summer 2026 and we're going 8 weeks this year (up from 6 last year)

Here's the gist:
Every Tuesday night from July through August, 50 players draft Magic: The Gathering at a different brewery around the city. It's a pub crawl, but for magic. Sweet, right?

You show up, draft some cards, play some games, drink some beer if you want. It's a good time.

What makes it worth your Tuesday nights:

  • 8 different venues, 8 different draft formats
  • Completely beginner-friendly. Seriously. First draft? You'll be fine.
  • Cash prizes + a playmat for the top finishers
  • Drafts run ~3-4 hours, doors at 6pm, first pack opens at 6:30 sharp
  • Everyone gets a prize every night, its even cheaper than playing at most LGS's

This thing only happens twice a year and it sells out. If you've ever been even a little curious about drafting or just want more of a magic outlet, this is probably the lowest-pressure way to try it in the city.
