Friday Night Magic: Standard Showdown
Friday, February 9
7PM
Standard Magic tournaments return to Atomic Empire in Feb 2024.
We'll be running Standard Showdown tournaments every Friday night from Feb 9 through Apr 5. We'll track season points across the entire series, and the overall winner will take home a giant oversized card!
New to Standard? No problem! This is a beginner-friendly event with loaner decks available. Drop in for our deck-building workshop on Feb 9 and we'll help you sort through your pile of cards.
Standard Showdown is guaranteed to launch every single time (staff players are standing by), so register with confidence.
Start Time: 7:00pm
Entry Fee: $10
Format: Standard. 3-4 Swiss rounds, depending on attendance.
Standard Showdown is not your run-of-the-mill Friday Night Magic—at least, not at Atomic Empire. All Standard Showdown participants will earn points toward our Season Points race. The overall winner will be crowned the Gold Standard and win a one-of-a-kind oversized Magic card from Wizards of the Coast!
Your season total will be the sum of the points you earned at your seven best events (which allows every player to miss two events with no penalty). Points are awarded each week as follows:
- 3 points for each match win
- 1 point for each draw (tie)
- 3 points for attendance
Check our online (Link TBA) and in-store leaderboard to see your results (updated every Monday).
For the first week of Standard Showdown, we have a special treat! Participating players will receive a copy of Dragonlord's Servant, while the winner of our first Standard Showdown event will get a copy of Sarkhan Unbroken. This will be in addition to our weekly winner promos for Standard Showdown (see below).
Prizes are awarded as Set/Play Boosters or store credit (player's choice) to the top half of the field based on match record.
