| Submission declined on 4 March 2025 by RangersRus (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of events). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

These competitions range from casual play to high-stakes tournaments, attracting both amateur players and experienced competitors.[3]

Special exhibits and artist showcases provide opportunities for fans to meet illustrators and creators involved in the trading card game industry.
