Store Championships are Official Tournament Retail Events which are held once per year at participating retailers. Store Championships provide players with a threshold experience at the retail level, using the same official formats used at Premiere Events, as well as prize support unique to that event.

Legacy Information (FFG Era)
Overview
Under FFG, game stores were allowed to host store championships twice a year. Even though store championships were officially a casual tier event, they were a chance for players from a local area to play for better prizes than normal weekly chainbound events. There were no power level restrictions on decks that could be used in store championships.
Players who reach top 8 at a store championship will see their decks reach power level 1. The finalist's deck will be awarded power level 2, and the winning deck will rise to power level 3.
The following Æmbershards were distributed to players based on performance for all formats and variants outside of Survival:
| Round | Æmbershards | Power Level |
|---|---|---|
| Participation | 5 | |
| Per win in Swiss | 3 | |
| Top 8 | 10 | 1 |
| Top 4 | 20 | |
| Finalist | 25 | 2 |
| Winner | 40 | 3 |
If there were over 76 players, the top 16 players also received a bonus of 5 Æmbershards.
For Store Championships using the Survival variant, the following Æmbershards were distributed to players based on performance:
| Round | Æmbershards | Power Level |
|---|---|---|
| Participation | 5 | |
| Per game played | 2 | |
| 1 win | 2 | |
| 2 wins | 5 | |
| 3 wins | 8 | |
