Trash MTG - Pauper Commander
2026-03-30 18:30 - 22:00
What the hell is Trash MTG!? It’s a Magic The Gathering event dual hosted by Netherworld and Vault Games,but you only get to use your junky cheap cards. Commander with all commons in the 99.
We want you to MINE YOUR CARDS you’d otherwise ignore. The ones sitting in shoe boxes at the bottom of a cupboard, potentially never to see the light of day again…until now.
If you don’t have quite enough cards to put something together, we’ll have a collection of 10,000 cards on site you can dig into to trade in and out of.
Pauper Commander follows the normal Commander rules except… your Commander is an uncommon, and the rest of the 99 are commons. Health is a hair lower at 30 and commander damage is 16. In the spirit of ‘Trash MTG’ and an encouragement to use what you have instead of riding the meta wave, we’ll have a house rule that regardless of the history of the card, all common cards included must be common according to the card.
If you haven’t played Commander before, the Vault Games and Netherworld crew are happy to teach you and will even have a handful of house decks on hand you can utilise if you don’t have the trash resources to pull a deck together.
If you’re after any Magic sealed products, make sure you swing over to Vault Games CBD, Clayfield or online via vaultgames.com.au!
Each ticket comes with your first drink and a custom token card. It happens at 6.30 to 10pm. Tickets to the next Netherworld session can be grabbed via www.netherworldarcade.com/events and Vault Games sessions via www.vaultgames.com.au!

Little Monsters
2026-03-22 09:30 - 11:30
Little Monsters is a ticketed event. A ticket must be bought for each adult and child attending. Each $10 ticket comes with a bag of 20 Netherworld tokens to be used during the session. Extra tokens can be purchased as normal. These sessions are suitable for small family groups with children 12 years and under.
We’re often asked “Can I bring my tiny terror?” Our underworld policy is that because it can get a little gnarlier as the evening goes on, we don’t allow little ones after 5pm. There’s creatures stuck in the wall that’ll swallow them whole if you’re not careful.
To even that out, we host ‘Little Monsters’ from 9.30am to 11.30am – a morning for guardians and monsters to be. The bar will be stocked up with soda, juice and something with less sugar because we’re not all monsters.Please note Netherworld will be closed between 11.30am and Midday.
A Little Monsters FAQ
Unfortunately during these sessions we cannot cater to large gatherings or parties, as the sessions are more focused on providing a more relaxed space outside of our regular hours for families to enjoy the games together. We don’t do any table bookings during these session – it’s very casual.
The session runs from 9.30am to 11.30am, with a 15 minute heads up at 11.15am. We require the venue to be vacated at this time so that we can clean up and refresh the venue for our lunchtime open at midday.No outside food or drink is allowed. If your child has any dietry needs during this time that requires you bring your own food, this is of course perfectly fine.

The season will run from March through to August, with a fun finals meet happening in September. You can play any or all meets in the season, but must compete in at least three to qualify for finals.
