Also, please feel free to collaborate with us on discord! Be sure to self assign roles for the store location and channels you wish to see.

The Disney Lorcana "Grand Celebration" Competitive Constructed event is kicking up in Ithaca!

We are excited to get back into competitive play starting with at least 1-2 times a month on Saturdays at 1pm (12pm sign-in) in all locations. Our goal is to create a space geared to test your deck against other skilled players from all over. These events will see prizing heavily weighted to the top 3-6. Prior regional competitive events have drawn players from not only Buffalo and other local store areas, but Canada, Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Rochester, and lots of surrounding communities - even flying in from other states in a couple instances! Who is our next store champion? Promos, prize support, and store credit prizes vary with store signups.

We will also be offering Free Casual Constructed Play on either Tue or Thur each week w- promos.

This is a great time to build your deck, trade singles, and just have a fun time. For casual play we wanted to get your feedback on whether Tue or Thur would work better, and also times.

We recently hired Rachel to help us organize and plan play events in all 4 locations, and we look forward to growing in organized play and singles availability! We are excited for the future, and we welcome your ideas as we re-evaluate all of our current events, including MTG, Altered, One Piece, SW Unlimited, Gundam, Riftbound, and varying future plans for all of our locations! Please feel free to message us directly to ensure we see your response (this post will be in a couple Facebook groups and discord). Also, please feel free to email Rachel and our team at [email protected]! More info to follow!
