Magic: The Gathering CPDH League

Wander in and get your Weekly CPDH Fix! Pods of 4 registered decks only. Ask at the counter about Joining the CPDH League and getting a chance for a piece of the $1000.00 Prize Pool!

CPDH (Competitive Pauper EDH) is a Magic: The Gathering format that combines the budget-friendly nature of Pauper with the multiplayer dynamics of Commander. In CPDH, players build 100-card singleton decks led by an uncommon creature as the commander, but all other cards must be commons. The format emphasizes efficiency, synergy, and strategic play within tight deck-building restrictions, making it a popular choice for players who enjoy competitive gameplay without high financial cost.

Visual Spectrums Exhibit Debut

The Visual Spectrums Collaborative Arts Project is a unique traveling exhibit that celebrates visual diversity by exploring the arts experience for people with varying sight abilities.

This exhibit is the culmination of a year-long collaborative effort by artists and art appreciators across Southeast Iowa and features works by artists Jessica Bly, Miriam Alarcon Avila, Sarah Fitzgerald, Sena Graham, and Joan McCracken Thomas. Collectively, these works engage the senses of touch, sound, and smell to convey the essence of visual art. Special thanks also goes to Lori Banos, who provided Braille signage for the exhibit, and space designer Ashley Phillips, who worked with art appreciators with unique visual experiences to conceptualize a space that includes changeable lighting, audio cues, and pieces that can be adjusted for closeup viewing.

Support for this work is provided by the Big Field Fund, a program of Public Space One. Funding is provided by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Come join us to see art differently!
