Side Events

New to Grand Archive? No problem! The excitement carried on with beginner-friendly side events, such as learn-to-play sessions and Starter Deck Tournaments, where winners took home silver event packs and Ascent Store tickets.

Players also had the opportunity to join the “I Scrubbed Out of Steel Constructed” event, earning Event Packs, with the champion receiving a Jumbo Jin, Undying Resolve CSR!

The fun continued with trade night on Day 0 and Girls’ Night, making sure there was never a dull moment!
