What is Standard Showdown?

“Standard” refers to a format in Magic the Gathering where decks consist of 60 cards. Decks can have no more than 4 copies of any given card (excluding Basic lands). Our Magic Standard Showdown event is a constructed tournament where players compete in 1 on 1 matches for packs and exclusive promotional cards. These change with every set! This is a more competitive event, so decks are required to be standard legal according to Wizard of the Coast’s legality rulings.

Take a peek at the Magic the Gathering website for more information, events, and more!

What is Lorcana?

Disney Lorcana is a game where you team up with your favorite Disney characters and embark on exciting adventures! In the magical realm of Lorcana, you’ll work with your team of characters in a race for prized story stars. This immersive trading card game involves collecting cards and building decks, offers fun and strategic play, and lets you play against one or more opponents.

What is the newest Lorcana set? Wilds Unknown!

You’ve seen the toys from Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story films make it through many perils in the past, but they’ve never faced threatening landscapes like those in the far-off corners of the realm. This is no time to be toying around, so make sure you have these trusty buddies in your decks!

Glimmers of the Parr family from The Incredibles are ready to speed, stretch, and fight their way into the realm. They’ve faced supervillains, but how you cleverly deploy their unique powers will be the difference between saving the day and defeat.

The princess glimmer Merida and others from her clan are ready to take aim at a victorious quest! Scottish accents are encouraged when enlisting the likes of Elinor, Fergus and more in your decks.
