Card legality is set quarterly based on which cards are 2¢ or less at that time. The best way to search legal cards is with Scryfall. You can view the full legal cards list. -
How do I find or brew a decklist? Minimum 60 cards. Any number of basic lands. Max four of any other legal card. Sideboard of up to fifteen cards. The best way to build decks is to use a search engine that supports Penny Dreadful legality (f:pd) like Scryfall.

How do I get a game and find other Penny Dreadful players? To get a match in Magic Online go to Constructed, Specialty, Freeform Tournament Practice on Magic Online and create a Freeform game with "Penny Dreadful" in the comments. To find the Penny Dreadful community join the Discord. -
Leagues last for roughly a month. You may enter any number of times but only one deck at a time. You play five matches per run. You can join the league at any time. To find a game sign up and then create a game in Constructed, Specialty, Freeform Tournament Practice with "Penny Dreadful League" as the comment. Top 8 finishers on each month's league leaderboard win credit with Cardhoarder. -
We have six free-to-enter weekly tournaments with prizes from Cardhoarder. They are hosted on Gatherling along with a lot of other player-run Magic Online events. -
Legality is determined a week after the release of a Standard-legal set on Magic Online. Prices are checked every hour for a week. Anything 2¢ or less for half or more of all checks is legal for the season. Any version of a card on the legal cards list is legal. The next rotation is in 3 days.
