Into the Story: Assassin Edition // Story Beats

2 Players | 4 packs | 10 minutes OBJECTIVE: Each player opens two packs and makes three face-down piles of three cards each using the Magic cards inside. Players make their piles with the goal of winning a series of Magic games with these modified rules: Players start at 5 life, have infinite mana, and cannot lose by drawing from an empty library. LET'S PLAY: Randomly determine who goes first. Each player chooses which pile their opponent will use for each round. Then both players draw all three of their cards and play a game of Magic. When a player loses a game, they get to go first in the next game. TO WIN: The first player to win two games wins the match.

2+ players | 2 packs | 5 minutes OBJECTIVE: Work together to score as many points as possible by deciphering your teammates' clues and correctly guessing the mystery card. GET READY: Open two boosters and remove cards without Magic backs. Separate into a pile of creatures and a pile of noncreatures. LET'S PLAY: • Each round, turn the two piles face down and shuffle them. Then determine which player was assassinated. That player is the clue-giving ghost for the round. The ghost is not allowed to communicate with the other players, except as directed. • The ghost looks at the top card of the creature pile. That is the assassin who killed them. Shuffle the cards in the creature pile and reveal them. Then reveal three random cards from the noncreature pile. The ghost chooses one of the noncreatures as a clue. (Try picking a card with similar art or theme to the assassin!)
