What’s a Lorcana STORE CHAMPIONSHIP?
Lorcana Store Championships are tournaments that happen at select local games stores, including Good Games, where players from all around come in and compete with their constructed (pre-built) Lorcana decks.
If you’ve wanted to see where your skills stack up against the other Lorcana players in your community, this is the place to be.

HOW COMPETITIVE IS A STORE CHAMPIONSHIP?
It’s different from store to store, but it’s safe to say that these are more casual than a world championship, but more competitive than your weekly event. That’s because these happen only once per store with the release of a new set, with prizes you can’t get anywhere else.
Prizes? What Prizes?
The Top 8 Players get promo cards exclusive to this set release. Plus, the top two players get a one-of-a-kind playmat (with the #1 getting the CHAMPION playmat of course.)
Plus, stores usually give out extra boosters for additional prizing. Good Games stores usually give away additional prizes based on where you rank, so make sure to do your best!

I’M IN! WHAT DO I NEED?
To play in a Lorcana Store Championship all you need is a deck of Lorcana TCG cards.
What’s in a deck?
Here are the basic rules for building a Lorcana deck.
- Minimum 60-card deck:
You can go over 60, but I don’t recommend it unless you know exactly what you’re doing. - Maximum of 4 copies per card:
Cards like 99 Dalmatians are the exemption! - Maximum of 2 ink colours:
Find the best combination that works for your strategy.
From there, you can build whatever kind of deck you want. It helps to look up strategies online to see what others are doing, and see if they work for you (or how you can beat them!)
You’ll also need to create a Deck List. For official tournaments, you’ll have to fill out a form like this. Just list out the cards that’s in your deck and how many. Give it a cool name too!
Anything else?
Create an account at melee.gg. This is the software Good Games uses to create match ups and track your performance throughout the event.
At the STORE
After you sign up, you’ll then be matched up against your first opponent via the Melee software. You’ll determine who goes first (high dice rolls are the most usual way) and start!
Each round is called a Swiss Round where you and your opponents have 55 minutes in a best of 3 matchup. If all the players finish their matchups before the 55 minutes are up, then the next round can already start.
The length of a tournament varies depending on how many players there are. Every store championship needs at least 8 players to run. For example, with 8 players = 3 Swiss Rounds. (4 rounds for 9-16 players, 5 rounds for 17-32 players, and so on.) With each round being almost as long as an hour, I recommend blocking off quite a bit of time (and having some snacks) at your Lorcana Store Championship.
