Attention, Commanders!

The KARDS Winter Tournament Finals are live this weekend: February 28 and March 1 at 11:00 UTC.

Take your place at the front and watch the decisive battles unfold live:

Eight of the most skilled and dedicated KARDS competitors have reached the final stage, ready to compete for tournament glory and their share of the 3,000 USD prize pool. When the dust settles, only one will claim the title of Winter Tournament Champion.

This is the first of four seasonal tournaments in 2026, with success in each moving players one step closer to the prestigious KARDS World Championship this October. There, 12 of the year’s top seasonal tournament Commanders will be joined by last year’s World Championship Top 4 to battle for a 12,000 USD prize pool and the title of KARDS 2026 World Champion.

The Finalists

The campaign to the finals has been hard-fought. 32 elite players advanced from the qualifiers and proved themselves in intense Swiss rounds. Now only the battle tested Top 8 remain, set to face off for the championship and their share of 3,000 USD.

The 8 finalists in the KARDS Winter Tournament are:

  • 椎名ましろ (Shiina Mashiro)

  • 原子吐息 (yaoliu)

  • Sie_

  • 失其本心八幡 (HachimanLostHeart)

  • 拉菲艾拉 (La Pluma)

  • 66better

  • 禁忌之门 (Taboo)

  • 旮旯给木高手 (GG Master)

The Format

The finals are a single-elimination, best-of-five showdown. Each commander brings four decks from different main nations, and bans one opposing deck per round. Winning takes more than firepower - it demands preparation, flexibility, and sharp reads on the current Homefront meta.
