Battle Hardened: Syracuse

Our brand new three-day Battle Hardened series is coming to Syracuse! From July 8th-10th, you can join the action for a 'Super' Armory and Road to Nationals, leading into the main Battle Hardened tournament on Sunday. Featuring a mix of Uprising Sealed Deck, Classic Constructed, and Uprising Booster Draft, there's a little bit of something for everyone!

Quick Details

Date: Friday 8th - Sunday 10th July
Venue: The Oncenter (Hall A/B) - 800 South State St, Syracuse, NY 13202
Registration: SCGCON Syracuse
Hosted by: Star City Games

The weekend begins with a Super Armory event. Normally, an Armory Kit is provided to stores to support a full month of in-store events, but at a Super Armory, the full contents of a kit are used for one single event, meaning that all Top 8 players get prizes, instead of just the winner! The prizes for this event include Prize Wall tickets, Cold Foil Promos, and official Flesh and Blood playmats.

Prizes

The path to the biggest stage in Flesh and Blood TCG Organized Play begins with a Professional Tournament Invitation (PTI), and one of the best places to secure these prized assets is Battle Hardened. Players will have the opportunity to battle it out for their share of USD2,000 in cash prizes, exclusive Battle Hardened series playmats to the Top 8, a Golden Cold Foil Legendary card to the Champion, and coveted Professional Tournament Invites (PTIs) to both the winner and runner-up. You read that correctly, there is not one but two PTIs on offer at Battle Hardened!

PTIs can be used to enter any Professional level tournament (including Pro Tours and the World Championship) and do not expire, whereas invitations from the in-store ProQuest series are only valid for their associated Pro Tour event.
