[July 26th update] The Finale is TODAY; scroll the posts for more info on the format, the prizes, and more.
What: Tavern Training is an event where a number of expert players embark on a journey to train a group of trainees, in order to have them fighting for the first place in a special tournament on July 26th.
All trainers felt very confident in accepting this role and we trust their abilities to pass their knowledge to their partners, while playing - sometimes - with a less-than-full collection. Budget decks save lives!

Format: standard
Rules: No specific rules for the training itself; trainers are allowed to share their best (or worst…) tips and strategies. The goal is to bring their trainee to victory!
HOWEVER, the final match will use special rules - more info soon!
Time: 19:00 CEST/6 PM BST - 2 hours.
Custom rules will be in place for the finale. To win the match, the trainees will need to make sure that by the end of their game, they have more health than their opponent.
The finale will be streamed on the trainee’s channels.
Decks: Trainees are not required to submit their decks in advance - we want to give everyone the time they need to experiment with the new cards and to get the best advice from their trainers.
