Last weekend, over 50 Lorcana players from Phoenix, along with many more from around Arizona, made their mark at the Disney Lorcana Challenge in Las Vegas. This event saw the largest representation of Phoenix locals at a DLC, showcasing the growing passion for the game in the Grand Canyon State. Among the attendees were *The Lorcana Muses*, a popular local podcasting duo, who even recorded part of their latest episode live from the event. Several Phoenix-based teams, including *The West Valley Villains*, *Team Legendary*, and *Team Muses*, also competed, aiming to test their skills against a broader field of talent. The results were impressive—eight local players finished in the top 10 percent of competitors, and four lucky participants received the highly sought-after *Let It Go* promo. It was a weekend that not only brought the Arizona Lorcana community together but also created lasting memories far from home.

It was another weekend of Set 4: Ursula’s Return Store Championships this weekend. Ravensburger allowed local game stores (“LGS) to set their store championship for any Saturday or Sunday in the month of July, giving ample opportunities for players to find a local tournament. With the timing of the Disney Lorcana Challenge in Forth Worth, TX this weekend seems to have had the fewest store championships scheduled. However, that simply meant that any Lorcana players not attending the Challenge in Texas this weekend likely found themselves at one of two events in the valley or traveling to Tuscon or Prescott for nearby competitive opportunities. Recreation Games – 7/20/24 Rekreation Games sold out spots for their tournament prior to the weekend, and welcomed a total of 32 players to their store on Saturday.  This tournament saw another Top 8 opt to split prizing versus play out. Competitors at Sun Valley Gaming also did this earlier in the month. While there are no Top 8 matches to report, the competitors making it to the top 8 and randomly splitting prizing 8 ways (4 received the Ursula Promo Card, 2 received the Ursula Promo mat, and 2 split the additional pack prizing provided by Recreation Games.)
