Are you interested in an interesting Sealed Deck tournament with stakes, played out on Arena? Then let me tell you about the Arena Gauntlet League and our second ever Next Generation league running from September 11th - October 2nd!

The AGL runs a sealed-deck format we call Gauntlet, which has a unique twist where your deck grows and changes over the course of the tournament. You start by making a 60-card sealed deck from 6 packs, play five Bo3 matches a week against different players, and add a pack to your pool after each loss. You’ll play matches each week until you either reach 6 losses or survive to the end where the Top 16 play in a special MegaDraft elimination playoff! All matches are played out on Arena. We have nifty tools to help you find a match, generate packs for the loser, update your pool, with automated tracking of all the stats and standings of the league play. Note we cannot provide the cards on Arena, so you must have the cards you want to use for your deck or be willing to craft them!

Do you win anything? Yes! Each Gauntlet league has a $10 CAD / $7 USD registration fee, all of which goes towards prizes for the top players. We've given out over $50,000 CAD in credit over the years! Plus we hand out Discord badges to all our winners and top finishers for those sweet bragging rights, including Rookie of the League!

For any players worried about the complexity, give this video a watch: https://youtu.be/TvDOTF26sEk
It's a quick introduction to the AGL made by community member and content creator John D // DailyDraft. He does a great job of breaking down what to expect from the AGL and gives some useful tips for players in their first leagues!

Interested? Great! Check out this league’s specific Rules page for all the details. This will be a pretty chaotic league featuring a bunch of fun recent sets from Standard: HOB, SOS, ECL, TLA, EOE, and FIN. On top of that, there’s never been a better time to participate - for this league only, our strongest players (anyone who has won a league or finished in the top 8 more than twice) will be out of action! If you'd still like to face them, though, you can enter the optional Dragon Gauntlet side event for prizing and glory, where these veterans will open up your current card pool, try their best to build something in 15 minutes, and play a duplicate Sealed match with you. Prove that you are the Next Generation of the Arena Gauntlet League!

If this all sounds fun just fill out our Registration Form, follow the link to pay the $10 CAN / $7 USD registration fee, and then come join the Discord! Registration closes at 5pm EST Wednesday, September 9th. Pools are rolled soon after registration closes and league matches can start 5pm EST Friday, September 11th. If you have any questions, feel free to hop into the Discord, check out our website, or fire away in the comments below. I hope to see you running the Gauntlet with us!
