Store Championships/en-gb
<languages/>
Game stores are allowed to host store championships twice a year. Even though store championships are officially a casual tier event, they are a chance for players from a local area to play for better prizes than a normal weekly chainbound event. Currently, there are no power level restrictions on decks that can 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 are 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 are over 76 players, the top 16 players will also receive a bonus of 5 Æmbershards.
For Store Championships using the Survival variant, the following Æmbershards will be distributed to players:
| Round | Æmbershards | Power Level |
|---|---|---|
| Participation | 5 | |
| Per game played | 2 | |
| 1 win | 2 | |
| 2 wins | 5 | |
| 3 wins | 8 | |
| 4 wins | 8 | |
| 5+ wins | 12 | |
| Finalist | 25 | 2 |
| Winner | 40 | 3 |
