We’re holding Magic: the Gathering Pioneer RCQs for the April 13th–July 21st, 2024 season of RCQs, which all support the Regional Championships at SCG CON Washington DC Oct. 4th–6th, 2024! Thanks to our WPN Premium Store status, we are able to award 2 invites to the next Magic Regional Championship at each of our RCQs!

Magic Regional Championship Qualifiers are open to everyone, and are a player’s first step down the road of competitive Magic. RCQs qualify players for Regional Championships, which in turn qualify players for the Pro Tour and the Magic World Championship.

Each player gets a Secret Lair promo Springleaf Drum for entering! Top 16 finishers get a Secret Lair promo Goblin Guide, and each player who qualifies for the Regional Championship gets a FOIL Goblin Guide! Both of these promos feature BRAND NEW ART! These promos are in addition to store credit and invite prizes.

PRIZE SCALING: When we reach 32 players, we will add $30 store credit to the Top 8 prize pool for each additional player! For example, if we get 45 players total, we will add $390 store credit to the prize pool.

MTG Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander Parties
Friday, April 26th at AU Holmes & AU Wilmington
Sunday, April 28th at AU Blue Bell

Commander Parties are fun, FREE Commander format events where you will get to experience a narrative while you play, influence the story’s outcome via your games, and/or have your games influenced by the story.

For Outlaws of Thunder Junction, players will be grouped into pods of about four.

At the Outlaws of Thunder Junction Commander Party, players take on the role of upstanding citizens…at first. Throughout the game, players will choose to add counters to certain vaults, with the option to swoop in and take them away, giving them immediate benefits but moving their status to “On the Run.” With the high stakes of the heist adding to the game, who knows which player will walk away the victor?

Each player who participates gets a Costly Plunder Retro Frame promo!

These events will each be 2 hours long.
