 Each win is one point.  Teams are shuffled after each game by drawing a new chit.  The game plays until midnight with a goal of 5 games played in the evening. The player(s) with the highest point totals get a prize (see below).

 '''The Prize'''
@@ Line 124: / Line 128: @@
 If you are the player with the highest point total, you are allowed to choose one spell from your Magic deck to use in the D&D adventure. For example, Vince wins and chooses a Shivan Dragon (a card from his deck) as his spell to cast. During the D&D adventure, Vince may summon his dragon and, if he wants, use his magic points to pump up it's breath weapon. The DM will decide exactly how to implement spells in the D&D game and reserves the right to disallow any spell which is out of balance or out of the spirit of the game. In this case, Vince's Shivan Dragon takes out a horde of treasure-toting orcs gaining him enough experience to learn how to track indoors.

-'''Magic the Gathering: The Menagerie'''
+'''Ranger Magic'''
-Introduced at Matcon 24 in 2005, MTG Menagerie replaced the arena-style "everybody against the DM" matches. The game has now become a regular event for the weekend. A variant of our tried-and-true draft game of Magic the Gathering, the new format takes no preparation and allows us to play a few quick games together.
+Introduced at Matcon 38 in 2019, Ranger Magic is our third iteration of a Magic the Gathering tournament. The new format is still a no-prep, draft-style event but has several advantages: everybody plays at the same time (three-on-three teams), there are no two-on-one beatings (each opponent can be attacked only once per turn), and games are quicker (about 30 minutes each). As a timed event, Ranger Magic now runs in a single evening.
-'''Deck Construction and Playing the Game'''
+'''Deck Construction'''
-We start by holding a six player draft. Each player gets 3 booster packs. Sitting in a circle with teammates opposite each other, open one pack, pick the card you want from your pack, and then pass to the left. You may discuss strategy as much as you want with your partner before the draft, but no table talk once the draft has started. At the end of the draft, everyone has 45 cards. From these, make a 40 card deck. You may not share cards with your teammate, but limited discussion about deck construction is fine. I will bring plenty of basic land so everybody can fill out their decks. As always, booster packs are provided at no charge. Each team plays a best-of-three match against each of the other teams.

-'''The Teams'''
+'''Playing the Game'''
-Starting with Matcon 35, a ranking system for MTG players has been created based on the number of winning matches played over the last five years.  Why?  We now start MTG with the #6, #5 and #4 players drafting their playing partners - just like the good old grade school ballgames.  The current rankings for our MTG Menagerie tournament are:
+With 10 possible matches, each game begins by drawing a random chit from the bag to determine teams.  Each player on a team plays at the same time (i.e., untap together, draw together, etc.).  Combat is done as three 1-on-1 battles.  The attacking team chooses the match-ups for the turn (i.e., Bill attacks Bob, Jeff attacks Alan, and Tim attacks Neil).  Then, combat is resolved simultaneously.  Teams have a pool of 50 life points each.
