On June 28th, we kicked off the 2025 World Championship Qualifier Season with the very first WCQ in Zoetermeer, Netherlands! This event hosted 103 players and successfully qualified the first Finalist for the Altered World Championship Finals.

We're thrilled to finally bring this major competitive milestone to the Altered scene. Get ready for many more WCQs planned throughout the season, taking place in numerous countries and even online!

A huge thank you goes out to our partners at the Dutch Altered Community for organizing the event, and a shout-out to all who showed up!

Popeye, member of the Altered Aces team, becomes the very first champion of the 2025 Season, winning with a Sigismar & Wingspan deck in the finals against Claedeus, also member of the Altered Aces team and piloting a Sigismar & Wingspan deck. Congratulations to our new champion, and we look forward to seeing you at the World Finals this Fall!
