Magic Game Day is a seasonal Magic: The Gathering tournament organized by the DCI.

Description

The tournament is played in local game and hobby stores around the world, a month after each new card set is released. Game Day events are Standard format tournaments, using only the newest cards the game has to offer. The events present one the first opportunities to discover how the new cards shape the Constructed metagame. All participants receive a promo card (while supplies last). From 2009 on, the Top 8 finishers received an additional card.

History

The first Game Day was on July 14, 2007, in commemoration of the release of Tenth Edition. All participants received a promo card (while supplies lasted), and starting in 2009, the Top 8 finishers received an additional card. All cards except the first two are full-art cards. In addition, all top-8 cards are foil.

The last Game Day for a while was on August 6, 2017, for Hour of Devastation. After this, Game Day was renamed to Store Championship and moved to the end of a set's season.[1] However, Game Day was reinstalled for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty going forward.[2] An exclusive promo was added for the winner of the day. The Neon Dynasty didn't have the full-art card treatment, but it returned with alternate art for the promos of the next set, Streets of New Capenna.

Game Day was officially replaced by Store Championship events beginning with Phyrexia: All Will Be One.[3]
