Why we built Guild Wars
Your next friendship might be across the table.
From the Convoke team
Guilds help you find your people. We built Guild Wars because we also want those communities to find each other. There are so many players, playstyles, and stories just beyond your usual table.
A friendly challenge gives you a reason to say hello. You cheer for your guildmates, share a memorable game with someone new, and maybe find another community you’d love to play with again.
We want the competition to bring people closer. Agree on rules together, keep the welcome warm, and make having fun part of what your community celebrates.
Play for your guild. Leave knowing someone new.
Choose your rhythm
A game night. Or a whole season.
Pick the format that fits your people. The tables, registration, and standings live on Convoke.
A little rivalry, every week
A season to look forward to.
Keep the excitement going with weekly pods. Players share their availability and schedule games themselves, while you follow the standings across a season.
Weekly pods with new opponents
Schedule together using availability
Follow standings through the season
Both formats work for an event within your guild or a friendly rivalry between communities.
More than a spot on the leaderboard
Give your community something to share.
Bring your own crew together
Run an internal league or tournament from Guild settings → Guild Wars. Make your next club night or Discord season feel special.
Set the tone together
Agree on dates, scoring, and rules before you publish. Clear expectations help everyone come to the table ready for a good time.
Make the next connection
Use the event as a chance to welcome new opponents, share deck ideas, and turn a friendly rivalry into another reason to play together.
From first challenge to first shuffle
Bring your Guild War to life.
Guild owners and admins set up the event. Players register themselves and join their assigned tables.

You need a Convoke guild (playgroup) to host or enter Guild Wars. Create one or join an existing community from the guild directory.

For a rivalry, challenge another guild from its profile and wait for their owner or admins to accept. For your own members, open Guild settings → Guild Wars and create a league or tournament.

Open Set up event to choose title, dates, scoring, rules, and Discord links. Inter-guild wars need at least two accepted guilds before you publish the player page.

Before entering into battle, you might wonder...
Wtf are Guild Wars.
What is a Guild War on Convoke?
A Guild War is a scored Commander event for one or more guilds. Run it as a tournament with timed rounds, or as a league with weekly pods that players schedule themselves.
Can I host an online MTG tournament for my playgroup?
Yes! Guild owners and admins can create an internal tournament or league from guild settings. Members self-register on the public war page, then play on Convoke tables.
How do two communities play against each other?
Any guild member can challenge another guild from its profile. The other guild’s owner or admins accept, then both sides configure dates, scoring, and rules before publishing the player page.
What is the difference between a league and a tournament?
A league spreads weekly matches that players schedule themselves. A tournament uses timed same-day rounds run by an admin, with optional Swiss pairing and a top cut.
Do players need to be invited one by one?
Nope. After you publish the player page and open a season for signup, members of participating guilds can self-register while registration is open. Staff can still enroll or drop players.
A little rivalry. A bigger community.
Gather your guildmates, meet a new community, and make your next Commander event a story you’ll tell together.
