National Championships, (known as Grand Championships under Fantasy Flight Games) are high-level Organized Play tournaments that typically take place only once a year per nation or territory. National Championships are run in both Archon and the Alliance format. Under the current award structure, the top 2 players from each National Championship (in Archon and Alliance) receive an invitation to the World Championship, with the winner receiving a first round bye.
Under FFG, Grand Championship players were awarded 20 Æmbershards for participation, along with 10 Æmbershards per win and an additional 150 for the winner. The winner also received a unique "Grand Champion" KeyForge deck (with a different card back and "Grand Champion" in the name, but otherwise a regular procedurally generated KeyForge deck).
