Most Fridays | 5:00 PM – 10:00 PM
(Except during Magic: The Gathering release weekends.)
As the workweek ends, the tavern doors swing open and the planeswalkers arrive.
Every Friday night, Swords & Spoons transforms into a gathering place for mages, strategists, and collectors from across Southern Maryland. Whether you're summoning colossal creatures, brewing your next Commander deck, or cracking packs in a Draft, there's always a seat waiting by the hearth.
Veteran planeswalker or brand-new spellcaster, you're welcome at our table.
Our most popular format!
For $5, join a pod of fellow planeswalkers for a relaxed evening of multiplayer Magic. Bring your favorite deck, meet new opponents, and enjoy random door prizes throughout the night.
Don't have a group? No problem—we're happy to help you find a table.
Open fresh packs, build your deck on the spot, and test your skills against fellow adventurers.
Entry fees vary depending on the current set.
Looking for that last card to finish your masterpiece?
Bring your trade binder and swap cards with fellow players. Trading is always welcome, though buying and selling between players is not permitted.
Every planeswalker started with their first land.
