Recapping our Riftbound Pre-Rift Event - October 17, 2026
Riftbound: Radiance, the newest set for the League of Legends card game, is nearly here! With it releasing on Friday, October 24, we ran a couple of Pre-Rift events this past Saturday to let players get their hands on the new cards early and experience the set. If you're not familiar, a Pre-Rift event is just like the classic prerelease event for other card games: you get a kit of 5 packs plus a thematic pack including a legend (making sure you can actually, you know, play Riftbound), and then you open your packs and build a small deck. Because everything you need comes from the kit you get with your entry, pre-rift is a great way to get into the game after learning the basic rules, and is considered a "sealed" event. We saw over 60 local players across our two events--thank you to everyone who came out to play! We know it was a busy and hectic day, and we so appreciate you choosing us to be your Riftbound destination this weekend. Deckbuilding Once the event started, we passed out kits and gave everyone 45 minutes to build their decks. Each deck has to include a minimum of 25 cards--typically, that's also the maximum, since it reduces randomness as much as possible. Then, we provide runes so you can actually play your cards. Imagine if you had to open the right runes to play! What a nightmare. Here's a few highlights from deckbuilding. It's always a fun time once you've got your cards in front of you as you try to figure out how it all slots together to make the best possible deck. Plus, you get to gawk at the coolest legends and rare cards you opened. Rounds After deckbuilding, we played three rounds of Swiss best-of-3. Since it's a pre-rift event, it's nothing too intense. It's definitely not like a Summoner Skirmish, although we do have one of those coming up in November if you need to scratch your competitive itch! Instead, gameplay is friendly, and our judges, Adam and Josh, were around in case anyone needs help understanding the rules or resolving issues mid-game. People could also help one another, give suggestions, and modify their decks between rounds. Future Events We'll host a Pre-Rift for the upcoming set, Legacy, between January 22 and 28th next year. In the meantime, we have our weekly Nexus Night tournaments every Thursday night (besides this one, since we're hosting another pre-rift, instead). They're $10 to entry, start at 6:30p, and last for about three hours. Once you have your own deck and you want to get practice playing through games, it's a great place to go. You can also check our event calendar to see our upcoming events!

The Gundam 1st Anniversary Tournament - October 7, 2026
The Gundam Card Game first anniversary was last week, including our tournament in celebration of the occasion! Thank you to everyone who stopped by and played the Gundam Card Game with us--it was a ton of fun hosting everyone. Congratulations, as well, to Shijie for winning the event! You're the champion of our first-ever Anniversary Gundam Card Game event, and that's pretty cool. Here's a photo of the top 8 receiving their prizes and celebrating. In addition to the usual promos and prizes, we also raffled off a massive, special Gundam kit. Check out his reaction when he received the Real-Grade MSN-02 Zeong Gunpla. Good luck building your kit--that should keep you busy for a while!

Recapping our Riftbound Summoner Skirmish - October 1, 2026
We've been running Summoner Skirmishes at all sorts of days and times--Saturday is a popular one, but we also recently ran a tournament on a Thursday night. The event didn't start until 6:30p, meaning our dedicated players were here until at least 2a. First and foremost, thank you to everyone who hung out with us in the middle of the night, grinding competitive rounds in the dead of night. Y'all are the reason we do this and you make it worthwhile! I also want to thank our team for being to work ridiculous hours to make these events happen. But, without further ado, let's talk about the event. Top 8 and The Winner Congratulations to Jacob Snodgrass for taking down the event with his Jayce Aurora deck! The rest of the top 8 competed fiercely, and all deserve recognition, too. Here's the full standings: Winner: Jacob Snodgrass (Jayce Aurora) Finalist: Braden Van’t Hof (Ornn) 3/4: Austin Yee (Irelia) Leanna Harrison (Vex) 5-8: Cam Delcourt (Rengar) Sabian Grodkiewicz (Proving Grounds Master Yi) Jee Balangan (Kennen) Ryan Song (Irelia) Final Thoughts It's always a pleasure running events for the local Riftbound community. Word on the street is you're the biggest, or nearly the biggest, Riftbound community in the United States! So that's pretty cool. If you're excited for Riftbound: Radiance, we have two pre-rift events coming up on Saturday, October 17, at 12p and 5p. It'll be our first time using the new Riftbound Event Software, so we're excited to see how it goes. You can pre-register for those events here: 12p, October 17. 5p, October 17. Then, we'll have release for Riftbound: Radiance on October 23rd. There will be a limited supply of booster packs, showdown decks, and vaults that morning, so please stop by and say hello!
