IMPORTANT UPDATE: We have been told by NSG that this tournament must be run under the 25.04 banlist and not the new 25.08 banlist. This isn't up to me, it is word from on high! Sorry! Plan accordingly and maybe give your Bankhar one last sweet stolen memory. IMPORTANT UPDATE OVER

TORONTO MEGACITY 2025

Once again, we've got a full weekend of Netrunner and events (both related and not-so-related) planned for you this summer. 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 on Saturday with a full day of swiss to determine our top cut. Then, on Sunday, we'll run that top cut, along with other fun diversions: a cube, a side-tournament, board games, Street Fighter 6, whatever! That's what we did last year anyway and it was a blast!

We'll also have a ton of prize support in addition to the official NSG prizing, including custom cards that won't be available anywhere else featuring art from one of Netrunner's best artists, Toronto's own Scott Uminga! We'll have stickers, we'll have custom games and events, we'll probably have Netrunner-themed cookies again, and first place gets a bye at a Continental Championship!

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

Next, we've got a design from Scott Uminga who was also responsible for the Mitosis and Trick Shot alt arts last year that were so good it got banned Trick Shot banned. This year, he's got a Transfer of Wealth alt art so good that it's going to get that card banned, so you better get these while the going is good.

And finally, to kick off the "silly" portion of the unique alt arts, we've got this Flip Switch reminding you that 𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓵 𝔀𝓲𝓷𝓷𝓮𝓻𝓼 𝓺𝓾𝓲𝓽.

And, to tantalize you even further, I can tell you that the three remaining (silly) designs are no less exciting: we'll have alt arts available for Clean Getaway, Petty Cash, and “Knickknack” O’Brian! "Wow, I play all of those cards!" you say. "I want to see different art when I look at those cards," you cry out. "I want to be unique from my peers and to intimidate my pathetic opponents with some extremely-rare alt arts," you scream in fury. Well, we've got you covered!

Because we've got such a wealth of prizing, we've got sort of a unique ticketing style for the event. Basic tickets will be $50 and will include three of the unique alt arts for the tournament (of your choice), in addition to the NSG Megacity prizes. The Primo Deluxe Ticket is $65 and includes all seven designs, in addition to the NSG Megacity prizes! They're calling it "the deal of the century" and are also asking "why did he get seven different designs made for this one tournament?"

And if you can't make it to Toronto, then we've still got you covered! You can buy a "prizes only" ticket and we'll send you this absolute bounty of prizing, "no problem-o!" This $60 ticket includes shipping and full playsets of all 7 unique designs (21+ cards), along with the NSG Megacity prizing (pending availability, but we'll almost certainly have more than enough). I'll also probably throw in some stickers to thank you for helping support this event! If you buy this ticket, be sure to reach out to me (yaoibunga on Discord) to arrange for shipping!

Tickets are available here and are limited so please secure your spot ASAP!

This event is also appropriate for players of all skill levels and proxies are completely acceptable, so we encourage everyone to come out and play! It'll be a great weekend and maybe we'll even do karaoke. Please visit the Torsaug Discord and come say hi! We're excited to host you all in our fair city.
