This weekend marked the return of Lorcana Set Championship season, with stores across the nation hosting their Azurite Seas Set Championship events from January 18 to February 16, 2025.
At stake in this competitive season are the coveted Scar, Heartless Hunter promo cards awarded to the Top 8 players, and the exclusive Scar playmats for the Top 2 finishers. First-place winners earn an extra touch of prestige with the “Champion” designation emblazoned on their mats. The artwork, created by Alexandria Neonakis, is impressive and exciting—perfect for fans of Scar and Villains alike.
In the Phoenix area, two major events were held over the opening weekend, drawing a strong turnout from Arizona’s Lorcana community.
