PTCG Legends has mega evolved!
From 1999-2024, the entire site is now a fully functional database. Player pages, meta shares for past and present formats, finding cards in decklists spanning across the entire history of the game, and event stats!

Where's the logic in beginning Regional's streams half way into each day? Can't imagine that it's growing the game's viewership at all. Like, sporting events don't randomly begin in the 3rd quarter, nor do any esports I can think of... incredibly annoying imo.

If you go 6-2-1 in Charlotte, and go 5-0-1 in Day 2. You either won't make Top 8 at all or are on the 🫧...
& w/ 1 loss and 1 tie in Day 2, there's a solid chance you miss Top 32 $. Think twice about ID'ing at 6-2 at the largest event in history (outside of 🇯🇵). 🤐
