Forging Local Champions
Sunday marked the formal conclusion of the 2024 Store Championships season. From March 1st to April 14th, players across the world went to local game stores to participate in one more tournaments in the Sealed, Archon, and Alliance formats.
As detailed in a previous issue, premium metal key sets and special treatment Store Championship Grim Reminders Archon Decks were up for grabs, and attendees were given Haunted indicator cards.
We’d like to thank the readers who submitted images of their local Store Championship events in action! The map of stores which ran Store Championships events is still currently available to view on the official 2024 Store Championships page.
The next LGS-level event scheduled for the 2024 OP season is the “Summer Special Event” which is described as “a ‘Storyline Event’ that allows players to take an active role in shaping the story of the Crucible.” The event is expected to run in June, with more details expected to be released this month.
Ask a Judge
Q: In my battleline, I have Miss Chievous. If I play Memette, which resolves first, Miss Cheivous’ constant ability or the Play: ability from Memette?
A: According to the timing chart, “Play:” effects, "after play" effects and “after enters play” effects all resolve in the same timing window, therefore the active player can choose to resolve these abilities in the order of their choice.
