Set Championship season closes on September 27, which gives you five days to find out whether your local store is running one and get yourself there. The day before it closes, three Championship qualifiers open at once in Raleigh, Orlando and Malmö.
- Attack of the Vine! Set Championships are live at local stores and end September 27, five days from now
- Three Championship qualifiers start simultaneously on September 26 in Raleigh, Orlando, and Malmö
- Mickey Mouse - Bob Cratchit jumped 215% this week, from $1.05 to $3.31, and two other cards nearly doubled alongside it
- Put October 2 in your calendar for the Illumineer's Quest Celebration Event at local stores
Set Championship season is still running. Right now. If your local game store is in North America or Europe and you have not checked whether they're running an Attack of the Vine! Set Championship, check today. The season closes September 27, which means you have five days. Not five days to decide. Five days total.
Set Championships are store-level events, but they feed into the broader championship structure. Showing up at your local store isn't just a casual Friday. It's a competitive event with stakes, and this is your last window in the current season to get there.
Set Championships end September 27. Everything else this week is what comes next.
Three qualifiers land the same weekend
September 26 is a busy day. Three Championship qualifiers start simultaneously, in three different places.
CCS $10,000 Lorcana Weekend is in Raleigh, NC. Pro-Play Summit Orlando is in Orlando, FL. Malmö Game Week Lorcana Open #3 is in Malmö, Sweden. These are not local store events.
Championship qualifiers are a different tier entirely: larger fields, longer days, and the results carry weight in the broader competitive season. If you're traveling to any of these, your prep window is now.
The Raleigh and Orlando events mean the US East Coast is the center of competitive gravity that weekend. The Malmö event is the third in its series, which suggests an established community behind it.
Mickey Mouse - Bob Cratchit went from $1.05 to $3.31. That's a 215% increase in one week.
None of these have happened yet, so no results to report. That also means the format going into them is still being worked out in real time, and what the Set Championship results look like by September 27 will shape how people show up in Raleigh, Orlando, and Malmö.
What if you're not going to any of these
The Set Championship at your own store is the more relevant event this week if you're not a traveling player. The qualifiers are worth watching for what they reveal about the format, not worth booking a flight for.
And then there's October 2.
Illumineer's Quest: The Great Hunny Rescue Celebration Event comes to local game stores on October 2. Celebration events are a different animal from qualifiers. They're designed to be accessible, fun, and a reason to show up with friends rather than a tuned list. If competitive events aren't your thing, this is the weekend worth circling.
The price cards you need to know about
Three cards moved hard this week, and the numbers are from our own daily price feed, so they're exact.
Mickey Mouse - Bob Cratchit went from $1.05 to $3.31. That's a 215% increase in one week. At $1.05 it was barely a consideration. At $3.31 it's a card people are actively picking up, and the reason isn't obvious yet. Something in the Set Championship results or a list circulating before the qualifiers may explain it. Worth watching.
Milo Thatch - Getting His Hands Dirty went from $3.95 to $8.09, up 105%. That's a card that doubled. Mickey Mouse & Minnie Mouse - Adventuring Duo moved from $3.70 to $7.27, up 96%.
Two cards nearly doubling in the same week alongside a third tripling suggests a list. We don't have confirmed results yet, but these three cards moving together is not a coincidence.
If you already own copies of any of them, you're in good shape. If you don't, buying into a spike is always a risk. The safer move is to wait for September 27 Set Championship results before deciding whether these prices hold.
Rarehuntershop CCQ and Game Grid Open
Two more qualifiers land the following weekend. Rarehuntershop CCQ is in Austria on October 3. Game Grid Open 2026 CCQ is in Utah on October 3. Both are Championship qualifiers drawing competitive players to a regional hub. If you're in central Europe or the Mountain West, these are worth looking up specifically.
What to do right now
Find your local game store and check whether they're running an Attack of the Vine! Set Championship before September 27. Five days is enough time to show up. If you're a competitive player with travel budget, Raleigh and Orlando on September 26 are the biggest events this weekend.
And if you're sitting on Mickey Mouse - Bob Cratchit at bulk prices, that ship has sailed, but watch what the qualifier results say about the other two price movers before you buy in at the new floor.
