During the year, over $60,000.00 in cash and prizes will be distributed in fun, competitive events featuring Standard, Modern, Legacy, Pauper, Sealed, and Team tournaments.
We are also happy to announce that several of our events over the year will be merged with Star City Game Invitational Qualifiers!
