Get ready, because the fifth season of Skirmish is about to begin! Join the action with the fast-paced Blitz format, or build your hero from the ground up with Uprising Sealed Deck events. Over 600 stores are participating this season, so now is the time to grab your friends and get involved! There's never been a better time to enter the fray with Skirmish.
The prizes up for grab this season include Phoenix Flame and Aether Ashwing playmats, Cold Foil promo cards for both Fai and Dromai, and Cold Foil Silver tokens! Check out the links below to find your nearest store, or see the worldwide map for where events are taking place.
If you're stuck on what to take to your local store for the Skirmish season, have no fear! This season, we've brought on six guest writers to showcase some ideas and inspiration.
Our first guest writer is Kiki Labad, a New Zealand player and tournament organizer who made the finals of the Calling: Auckland in 2021. They'll be kicking off the season (and returning to their roots) with Dorinthea, Quicksilver Prodigy! Next up will be fellow New Zealander, rune decoder, and Mechanologist master, Rhys Robin, bringing you up to speed with Data Doll MKII.
Then, get ready to roll with Ireland's Ciaran Harrigan, better known as The Ragamuffin Man, with his Kayo, Berseker Runt showcase. Need something a little faster? Go Turbo with Singapore player and 'Restaurant' owner Brandon Peh (aka BeeftheNoob), serving a fresh new look at Ser Boltyn, Breaker of Dawn.
If you're not one for the Light, then take a look on the Shadowy side with UK Nationals quarterfinalist Sean Knowelden, and embrace cult favourite Levia, Shadowborn Abomination. Last but not least, we'll be rounding out the season with Rylie Groff, US competitive player and Top 8 Calling finisher, who'll be showing you how to light it up with Lexi, Livewire.
If it's video content you're searching for, this season features not one, but two Skirmish series! The first is the three-part Season 5 Blitz Gauntlet series, brought to you by The Tall Timmy; you can find the first video in the series below. Looking for some more Sealed Deck action? Check out our second video series for the season, FaBrika's Uprising Sealed Showcase.
We're excited to bring you the latest coverage this season, so if you want your favourite hero to be featured in our weekly articles, it's time to get out there and find your nearest Skirmish event!
