TORONTO MEGACITY 2025

\n

Last year\, we ran what was ( in my opinion) a very successful National Championship . This year\, we're doing it again as a Megacity! We'll start things off o n Saturday with a full day of swiss to determine our top cut.

That's what we did last year anyway and it was a blast!

\n

We'll have stickers\ , we'll have custom games and events\, we'll probably have Netrunner-theme d cookies again\, and first place gets a bye at a Continental Championship !

\n

And speaking of prizing\, we somehow have SEVEN (?!) di fferent alt arts to give away at this tournament\, ranging from the strang e and silly to the beguiling and beautiful. First up\, we've got two cards from returning artist and local Netrunner player\, Nicky Cheng:
