Your training montage starts here! Join us this September at Anime ID in Caldwell, ID, at The Center building on the Canyon County Fairgrounds. It's only ~40 minutes from Boise, and the venue is right off the freeway exit with hotels, food, and shopping nearby!
The Mystic & The Mage has jam-packed the entire weekend with MTG events, board games, and other TCG's-- so even if Anime isn't really your thing, you'll be surrounded by gaming in our little corner of the convention center! You're welcome to breakout the senpai playmat and sleeves, but we do, unfortunately, have to ask that all art stays family-friendly. 😉
Join us on Saturday, September 19th, for the third big event of 2026!
As always, we'll have over $1k in event prizing, and everyone who participates will get a single entry into each round giveaway for a variety of cool stuff -- Secret Lairs, sick alters, Infinitokens, a Showcase Deckbox with mystery packs inside, and more! We may even have even dropped a little anime in there somewhere.
We will reveal the rest of the prize pool as we finalize it -- but don't miss out on your chance to score the highly coveted Underground Sea!
At this event, we're also bringing back the big raffle! This is separate from the round raffles and consists of three prizes -- one "big" value, and two "small" value prizes. Everyone gets one entry into the raffle with their event registration, but you can also purchase additional tickets to increase your chances! We'll draw three different names from the pot somewhere in the later rounds, and you don't have to be present to win...but it's cooler if you are!
Event Structure will be following TopDeck Championship rules and guidelines, and the MTR Addendum:
Surprise Booster Box Giveaway!
To celebrate a successful first year series in 2025, we're going to try and break our player record! If we get more players registered for this event than our original 2025 March event, we'll give away a random booster box to one lucky winner! That means we have to get 60 or more players signed up and checked in on event day! Invite your friends, or drag the whole pod along!
Dates & Timeline Saturday, September 19, 2026 Venue Opens: 10am Registration Cut-Off & Decklist Submission: 10am Player Meeting: 11:15am Event Start Time: 11:30am A break will be proposed a few rounds in; we'll put it to a vote or break for food!
Vendors & Food! Sam & Matt will be selling singles, sealed, and accessories all day at The Mystic & The Mage table! Purchases go towards covering venue fees for these events and bringing more MTG to the Idaho community and conventions!
Anime ID is also a large convention, with a bunch of amazing artists and vendors! Please show your support for our community partners with a little shopping, and feel free to stop by the board game library to snag a quick board game inbetween rounds!
Anime ID will also have food and drink vendors on site. If there isn't anything to your taste, there are local restaurants and chains nearby. Outside food isn't allowed so you'll have to eat there -- but we'll plan for a meal break unless everyone wants to keep playing!

This event is hosted and run by Samantha at The Mystic & The Mage -- Sam sells MTG Singles, Sealed, and Accessories at local card shows and hosts entire weekend MTG event programming at conventions and large events across the Treasure Valley. This creates partnerships allowing us to host Gem State CEDH's quarterly high-stakes tournaments at local venues and conventions here in Boise!
Our Thursday Playtest Nights are sponsored and hosted at All About Games in Boise, ID. These weekly events allow you to create chaos, brew new decks, or test your might against other seasoned (and new!) cedh players in the community before you take them into battle!
