Magic: The Gathering Foundations is a set filled with hundreds of cards that will be Standard-legal for years to come and includes tons of fan-favorite legendary creatures and planeswalkers!
On January 3-5, 2025, thousands of Magic: The Gathering fans will descend upon SCG CON Atlanta to experience this historic set, as Star City Games proudly hosts Magic Spotlight: Foundations!
Magic Spotlight: Foundations is a large, multi-day celebration featuring a two-day, open Standard-format tournament, boasting a massive $50,000 prize pool, exclusive promotional cards for all participants and top finishers, and a whopping eight (yes, 8!) invitations to an upcoming Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour!
Everyone who registers for the Magic Spotlight: Foundations main event may compete in as many of the nine rounds on Saturday as they wish, but only players who have 18 match points or better (typically awarded via six or more match wins) may compete on the second day of the competition on Sunday.
After six rounds on Sunday, the Top 8 will advance to a single-elimination playoff. These Top 8 players will secure invitations to an upcoming Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour and will battle for the title of Magic Spotlight Champion, plus the lion’s share of the $50,000 prize pool, and something very foundational for their 2025 Standard-format preparation: Standard for a year! This means the winner will receive a full Play Booster Case (that’s six Play Booster boxes) of every Standard-legal Magic set release in 2025!
The Magic Spotlight: Foundations main event is an open tournament, meaning anyone eligible to participate in sanctioned Magic: The Gathering events may register to participate. Note that seating for the Magic Spotlight: Foundations main event is limited to just 2,000 spots and will likely sell out, so players intending to compete are strongly encouraged to register as soon as possible, which can be done here.
All Magic Spotlight: Foundations main event participants will receive an exclusive, borderless, non-foil Terror of the Peaks promo, featuring breathtaking artwork from fan-favorite Magic: The Gathering artist Richard Kane Ferguson.
Additionally, the Top 128 finishers in the main event will receive a foil copy of the Terror of the Peaks promo.
SCG CON Atlanta featuring Magic Spotlight: Foundations is going to be a blast, but if you won’t be able to join us on-site, you can still experience all the action from the comfort of your own home! Starting Saturday morning on January 4, join thousands of Magic: The Gathering fans from around the world as we bring you LIVE COVERAGE of the Magic Spotlight: Foundations main event all weekend long on the Star City Games Twitch and YouTube channels!
