Magic Needs More Events Like DuressFest
Competitive Magic isn't dead. We just miss what it used to feel like.
DuressFest is coming, and Zac and Phil are incredibly excited—not simply because it's another Magic tournament, but because it represents something that has been missing from competitive Magic:
the experience.
We used to have Grand Prix events with thousands of players. You'd travel with your friends, play the main event, fire off side events, buy and sell cards, meet other players, grab dinner afterward, and spend an entire weekend immersed in Magic.
DuressFest feels like a return to that experience.
