What is Store Championship?

Store Championship is a structured, in-store tournament program that follows many major Magic: The Gathering releases. It is an opportunity for your players to compete and earn commemorative promos.

For Duskmourn: House of Horror's play season, the event will also be the last one for 2024

Store Championship events are a great way to play the new cards a set brings to the Standard format. To allow you to develop your decks and hone your skills, players should consider playing in additional Standard events (such as Standard Showdown and FNM) leading up to Store Championship.

AQUA: Biodiversity in the Oceans (2024)

In AQUA, your starting point is a hot spot that gradually becomes surrounded by expanding coral formations. These corals serve as habitats for small marine animals. By fostering biodiverse habitats, you can then create ideal conditions for attracting the largest marine animals.

AQUA plays over 17 rounds. On your turn, you must take a new coral tile from the market and add it to your reef, then you may also attract animals to your ecosystem if you create the correct patterns of coral.

At the end of the game, the player who grew the best coral formations and attracted the most large and small sea animals will score the most points and win.

AQUA invites you to dive into the beauty and wonder of the ocean, delivering an incredible variety of gameplay experiences for the whole family.

White Dwarf 505 – Orks for Orktober

It's October, and that means just one thing at the Warhammer Studio – it's time to think about Orks, Orruks, and Orcs. Issue 505 of White Dwarf is devoted to all things brutal and kunnin' – and full of features for fans of these fungal thugs.

The centrepiece attraction is a massive mega battle report, with a brand new mission: Squig Rustlin'. The hook is simple: two warring clans of Orks are fighting over a delicious horde of bounding Squigs. Whoever gets the most Squig meat by the end of the game wins – with bonus points if you duff up an enemy warboss. Six players from the Warhammer Studio take part in this rambunctious roundup, and mission rules are included so you can play it at home.

We get a look at Jack Masters' Da Great Waaagh!, a mighty 6,500-point collection amassed over many years, and featuring two amazing looted Imperial Knights – Da Gorkaknights. It's an amazing thing to behold and a true inspiration for fans of all things mean and green.

Elsewhere there's a bundle of new Hymns of Battle Crusade rules for your Adepta Sororitas which can be used as standalone rules, or in combination with the existing rules in their Codex, and they're accompanied by details of what the Order of the Argent Shroud are up to in the Chalnath Expanse.

In the Mortal Realms, Flashpoint Moulderhunt finishes in a typically brash assault into the depths of Moulderport, and there's a battleplan where the Stormcast Eternals attempt to destroy one of the Skaven’s infernal Warpshatter Bells. There’s an extensive article on the design of the new Skaven miniatures, which also explores their 39 year history as miniatures in Warhammer.

The Bunker has all the regular features you know and love, including new scenarios of the month, and the rules behind the team's upcoming foray – a Warhammer 40,000 Crusade campaign. New Zone Mortalis rules and missions for the Horus Heresy let you relieve the Fall of Nyrcon City, and Pete Fehevari has a gruesome short horror story to curdle your blood just in time for Halloween.

Want to learn to play Magic the Gathering?

Welcome Decks return to KD Games this week. This are available for new players through in-store events as one way to help them learn the game.

There are five different Welcome Decks—one for each color of Magic—with 30 cards each. Each Welcome Deck includes two 30-card decks in each box; one in an indicated color, and the other a random one of the five mana colors in Magic.

Similar to Jumpstart packs, a player can take two of the 30-card decks, shuffle them together, and instantly have a 60-card deck to play with! With mix-and-match gameplay that's repeatable and mechanically simple, these are a great way to teach your friends and family about Magic.

Welcome Decks are not Standard-legal. Instead containing a wide array of cards from across Magic's history meant to showcase everything the game has to offer, including some Booster Fun versions of cards.

If you want to learn to play this great game then simply pop in and ask for a time or book online. It only takes 30 minutes to pick up the basics and opens the door to a life long hobby and friendly community of players.
