This weekend saw a LOT of competitive Lorcana play in the Phoenix valley. Many stores had their Ursula’s return Store Championships this weekend. In total there were over 100 players competing at stores throughout the Phoenix valley on both Saturday and Sunday.

As always, there were a few surprise decks finding their way into the top 8 placements including a couple lemon lime decks, a Ruby/Amber Mufasa deck, and a themed broom deck! Congratulations to all the winners. Store results are listed below.
