Expansion Tournaments
Each quarter, a new Expansion Tournament becomes the proving ground for KARDS' fiercest commanders. With every new expansion, the meta shifts - and new heroes rise.
From the preceding three months, the top 8 commanders on the Officer’s Club Leaderboard secure their place, joined by 8 from the Tournament Leaderboard of the previous month - 32 of the sharpest commanders, each marching onto the battlefield with one goal: victory. The campaign begins with Swiss rounds that forge the strongest eight, before a single-elimination battlefield crowns the commander who reigns supreme.
With a $3,000 prize pool and coveted slots at the World Championship on the line, Expansion Tournaments are a clash of skill, resilience, and tactical mastery. Broadcast live with expert commentary, these events capture the intensity of frontline combat and the brilliance of top-level play.
The World Championship
The KARDS World Championship is the grand finale of the competitive year - a weekend broadcast that crowns the ultimate commander.
Sixteen players march into battle: the top 3 from each Expansion Tournament, joined by last year's World Championship top 4. Armed with four decks apiece, they fight through a best-of-five double-elimination bracket, showcasing every ounce of their tactical genius in conquest mode.
With $12,000 on the line, every engagement is a high-stakes clash. Rivals fall, legends are born, and one commander rises as the KARDS World Champion.
