This week at The Gathering Place, things are looking pretty stacked! The first Commander League tournament, Chocobo Racing, high-seas Flesh and Blood action, a CEDH tournament this Saturday for a Dual Land – there’s a lot on the docket!

With the Final Fantasy prerelease firmly in the rearview and Square’s powerhouse IP rotating into MTG’s Standard landscape, thing are about to get a whole lot wilder in Magic. For those who haven’t yet had a chance to play, good news is TGP is participating in the Chocobo Racing Series!

Each limited event you attend and play the new hotness that is Final Fantasy – like this week’s Friday Night Magic, for example – you accumulate points that eventually earn you Chocobo-based prizes, with the end goal being a limited-edition Chocobo pin! These prizes are only available while they last in-store, so it truly is a race! There’s another Chocobo Racing event this Sunday as well, if you want to double up.

This Saturday, TGP is hosting its CEDH monthly tournament, this go ‘round all our competition-level players are gunning for a Dual Land! $30 entry with all going to the prize pool, additional Top 4 prizing based on attendance. Here’s a TopDeck link, good luck!

Of course, CEDH isn’t the only tournament in town. Commander League’s Summer Session has its first tournament this Sunday, starting at noon. We’re only in week two, so decks are still very much in their early phases, and this is a great opportunity to test your precon out in a live environment, meet fellow League players, and hopefully make some choice trades. See you there!

Other events of note, Flesh and Blood’s Friday event is a draft of High Seas, the Digimon Evolution Cup Vol. 1 event is on Sunday, you can see everything happening this week (and this month, and further into the future) on the TGP event calendar, right here.
