The 2025 Store Championship season is officially underway! Participating retailers started holding their store championship events as early as this past Saturday, February 22.

Stores hosting tournaments can be found on the official 2025 Store Championships page. Each retailer can determine which formats to run, but there is the potential for tournaments for each of the three official formats: Sealed, Archon, and Alliance, to be held over one or more days.

Prizes included in the Store Championship kits are Store Champion More Mutation decks (with a guaranteed Gigantic creature), and store champion pins. Additionally, champions can earn deck accolades for their winning decks.

This year’s Store Championships are expected to run until March 31.

Ask a Judge

Q: On my turn, I play Interdimensional Graft. On my opponent’s turn, they play Key Abduction and resolve its ability to forge a key, reduced to a cost of 0 Æmber. Do I get all the Æmber in their pool?

A: Yes. Due to Interdimensional Graft's effect, your opponent must pay you all their remaining Æmber, regardless of how much Æmber your opponent just paid to forge a key.
