But artists aren’t the only special guests who will be attending Grand Prix Washington DC. We’ll also be joined by those who bring some of your favorite cards to life – cosplayers! And for Grand Prix Washington DC, we have three of the very best.
Christine Sprankle
Veteran cosplayer Christine Sprankle attended Worlds 2011 as Elspeth Tirel, her first Magic: The Gathering costume. The result was a breakout moment not only for her but for Magic cosplay in general. Since then she has been an official cosplayer at numerous Magic: The Gathering events and will attend HASCON as the guest of Wizards of the Coast. She enjoys bringing all of her favorite characters to life. Pictures and signings are free, please just ask!
