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.

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 2 days, 20 hours.
