The Calling series makes its return to the USA in 2022! All eyes turn to Indianapolis in March as the Calling series comes to SCG-CON for the first time and players look to build on their success from the 2021 season, or make a name for themselves in the new year.

Legend Story Studios (LSS) and Star City Games are proud to announce that the Calling: Indianapolis will showcase the Classic Constructed format, featuring cards from Everfest for the first time in the format in a Premier Organised Play event. LSS and Star City Games have been working hard to offer players a full weekend of high profile events as part of the Calling weekend in the Hoosier State!

The Calling: Indianapolis will have an upgraded cash prize pool on top of the other incredible prizes up for grabs, with USD20,000 of Cash Prizes, Professional Tournament Invitations, and Golden Cold Foil Legendary prize cards!

For players located in the USA, this is your chance to make your mark on the Classic Constructed metagame. With the event scheduled to be one of the first Premier Organised Play events after the release of Everfest, it provides a great opportunity for players to demonstrate their deckbuilding prowess and innovation to a global audience.
