The tournament will be held on saturday, November 21, 2026 at "Countdown Spielewelt" in Landsberg am Lech, Germany. The address is Max-Planck-Straße 2, 86899 Landsberg am Lech. Enough parking space is available on site.

You are allowed to playtest all cards in your deck. All playtest-cards must be printed on cardstock of the appropriate thickness and dimensions, ensuring they match the original cards in your library. Playtest cards must also be in color. Additionally, please ensure that your proxies are printed with original WotC art and a resolution that facilitates easy readability for both fellow players and judges. Gold-bordered cards can be used as playtest cards.
Ensure that your proxies are printed with original WotC art and in color. If you can find it on Scryfall, the Head Judge is fine with it.
The use of Counterfeit Cards is prohibited and can be subject for Disqualification.
Ensure our playtest card is printed with at least one visible feature that clearly distinguishes them from real Magic cards. Examples include:
- A different card back
- A made-up set symbol
- A missing copyright symbol
- A border or frame style that has never been used with the artwork you’re printing
Drinks are available on site. You can buy various warm and cold foods, around the corner at the local V-Markt. The address is Max-von-Eyth-Straße 4, 86899 Landsberg am Lech.
Large cEDH tournament environments are often quite different from social cEDH tables. To help ease your transition into our event, we recommend you do the following.
Our tournament follows the MTR and its corresponding Multiplayer addendum. We recommend that you have a brief look at the headings of both documents, to get an impression of which topics are covered by our tournament structure. This will let you better determine when to call a judge.
Particularly the Multiplayer addendum MTR & IPG contains relevant information regarding tournament practices like draws and restarts. It’s a good idea for you to have a brief look at those topics to be better prepared for when they come up in discussion.
Judges are here to help you. When you’re encountering an issue during tournament play, whether that be a rules question, or something you consider a social concern—like a discussion getting out of hand or taking too long—never be afraid to call a judge. Judges are on your side and want to help. Even if a judge call wasn’t necessary, we’d still rather you make that call than not.
Please use Moxfield to submit your Decklist. Decklists will be locked when player registration closes on the event.
