Get Ready for Sunstrike Store Championships

Become the Champion of your store! Prove your mettle in competition when Sunstrike Store Championships come to a store near you.

Starting July 10th and running through July 30th, local game stores around the world will host these high-level events as part of our road to the 2027 Elestrals World Championship. All attending players will receive an exclusive promo card, and the Top 8 Casters will each receive Qualifier Points towards an invite to Worlds 2027.

Keep reading for details and a list of events!

Format

These events use the regular Elestrals Constructed format and must comply with the current Tartarus Banlist. In addition, players will need to submit their decklist via the Elestrals Play Network event page prior to the start of their Store Celebration event.

Prizing

All participants will receive an LGS-exclusive Gem Frame Windjinn Champion of Aeolus promo card and the winner will receive an LGS-exclusive Gem Frame Tornadjinn Champion of Aeolus prize card!

SST SC Mock-ups

Everyone will also receive one (1) Premier III Tournament Pack for entry. Additional Premier III Tournament Packs will be provided to the store for prizing at the store’s discretion.

Qualifier Points

Store Championship events will award all players Qualifier Points (QP) towards the 2027 World Championship. (As a reminder, 250 points are needed to qualify.) For event with 4 or more players, the QP distributions are as follows:

PositionQP Awarded
Champion75 QP
Runner Up50 QP
3rd - 4th35 QP
5th - 8th20 QP
For Store Championship events running with 3 or less players, all participants will receive a total of 10 QP (with no additional QP awarded based on final standings).

In Store Championships, players are limited to earning QP for their highest finish only. (For example, if a player takes 2nd place at a Sunstrike Store Championship on July 10th and then becomes Champions at a different Sunstrike Store Championship on July 11th, they will only earn 75 points towards a world invite.)

Players are welcome to enter multiple Store Championship events if they wish to aim for a better placement and/or compete for the additional prizing, but only 75 Qualifier Points can be earned in total (per player) from Sunstrike Store Championships. (This restriction resets each season, allowing players to earn points from Store Championship events once every main set expansion.)
