FAQ

What stores are participating?
For the 2024 Season, the following Stores will be participating in the League. Representing the City of Baltimore and the surrounding area; Game Haven and Level Up Games! Representing the District of Columbia and the surrounding area; Curio Cavern, Dice City Games and Victory Comics!
Who is running the League?
In addition to the Participating Stores and the great folks who run them, the League will be run by a group of highly respected Judges from all over the DMV.
How do I participate in the League?
Simply play at your local store! Upon playing in any of our participating stores, your points will be tracked in our system. Nothing more from you is needed until you earn an Invite!
What happens after I earn an Invite?
After you’ve earned an Invite, or you believe you might, you will need to sign up on dmvlegacyleague.com . There we will ask you for your name, your email address and a contact number for you. This is so we can contact you regarding the Invitational. You will not receive any non League related messages from us by giving us this information. Prior to signing up, all we’ll have from the Stores in terms of information is the name you played under.
Where can I see how many points I have?
If you've registered for an account, just click the "My Stats" link on the left side of the screen. If not, you'll be able to find yourself on our leaderboards - both the "Overall" board, and the individual board for each store.
Do Invites pass down?
Yes! If the winner of a Competitive Event has already won a Competitive Event this season, their invite pass down to 2nd place and so on and so forth. If anyone in the Top 6 of a Participating Store has a Competitive Event invite, that invite will also pass down to the next place that doesn't have an invite. Then after all that is done, the top performing players from every store, who don’t have invites will get the at-large invites. The number of At-Large Invites will be determined near the end of the season based on the parameters in the Full Rules.
What was that about byes?
Players can earn up to one Bye in the League Invitational through qualifying in multiple ways. For example, if a Player wins two Competitive Events, the invite they’d have earned through their second victory would pass down but they would earn a Bye for the League Invitational. The full list of ways for a Player to earn a Bye can be found in the Rules linked below.
Are proxies allowed at the invitational?
At the invitational itself, player may include 15 proxy cards in their deck. (For individual weekly events, please consult with the individual stores.)

To ensure fairness and readability, proxies used by players must meet all of the following requirements:
1. Proxies must be indistinguishable in all ways (especially thickness and size) when shuffled into the deck - or put differently, none of the cards can be marked in any way. (Be aware, paper inserts are very often marked cards - use at your own risk!)
2. Each proxy must not be designed and printed in such a way that it could be confused with a real card. For example, the proxy uses a different card back (and the deck uses fully opaque sleeves!), or has a watermark on its face that states it is not a real card.
3. All Proxies must include all of the following pieces of information:
  1. Name
  2. Mana Cost
  3. Card Art (see below for specifics)
  4. P/T if it's a creature
  5. Loyalty (if the card is a Planeswalker)
4. Proxies may either feature artwork or be free of artwork. If you choose to use a proxy without artwork, we strongly recommend using the MDFC Black Cards released by Wizards.
  1. If the proxy has artwork on it, it must follow the following criteria.
    1. Each proxy must use art appropriate for that card. This is most easily achieved by using official art that has been previously printed on that card. If you wish to use any other art, it must meet the following criteria:
  2. If you choose to use a Proxy without artwork, in addition to the Proxy featuring all the details required by Section 3, players will be required to print an additional color proxy of the card for when it is in a public zone. This additional proxy will also need to be in a different colored sleeve and must remain in the Player's deckbox during the match until needed.
All proxies are subject to approval by the head judge of the invitational. We encourage you to verify with the head judge at the event if you are unsure about any proxies you have!
