SCG CON rolls into Atlanta, GA this weekend, offering tournaments for Magic: The Gathering, Flesh and Blood, Disney Lorcana, and Star Wars: Unlimited! Front and center is the first Magic Spotlight Series event — Magic Spotlight: Foundations, the highly anticipated open-entry Standard tournament boasting a prize pool of $50,000. The winner will walk away with $10K, an invite to Pro Tour Chicago, and Standard for a year (One Play Booster Case of every Standard-legal Magic release in 2025)! For those who can’t make it to Atlanta to play, live coverage returns for Magic Spotlight: Foundations on YouTube and Twitch. Register for events here.
While Magic Spotlight: Foundations will be the star of the show this weekend, there is plenty of Magic action for everyone coming to SCG CON Atlanta. Qualify for a Regional Championship in a plethora of ReCQs, win an uncut sheet of Magic cards in an Uncut Sheet event for Standard, Pioneer, Modern, and Legacy, compete in the cEDH $5K, or just bust open some packs of Mystery Booster 2 in the Sealed events on each day.
