Current Season: February 2025

Canadian Highlander League Odysseus Legion: Battletech Iliad League Age of Sigmar: Escalation League

Each month, we host constructed leagues where your matches happen wherever and whenever it’s convenient for you. Simply meet up with other players, play some games, and use a simple form to report the results. Match results will be counted towards your standings in the league, and prizes are distributed at the end of the season (typically monthly). We will have several meetups scheduled during each season of the league, but attendance is not required. If you can't make it to a meetup, you can simply contact other players and meet for games with them another time.

How to Join?

+

If you’d like to play in one of this season’s Leagues, all you need to do is pay the entry fee associated with the league. You can pay either in-store or online (Click the "Sign Up!" button above your dashboard), and you’ll be entered into the roster and you can immediately start challenging other players to matches. Wargaming leagues may have additional rules so check out the links associated with each one! Good Luck and Have Fun!

How to Report My Matches?

+

Only the winner needs to report. Scroll down to your league's dashboard, and click "Match Report." This will open a google form with dropdowns for you to select. After submitting, this form will automatically update our League Dashboards. Make sure you check the dashboard to make sure all your matches look correct. If you have questions or you cannot submit the form, please contact us and let us know, and we will make sure your matches are counted.

How Does Prizing Work?

+

All entry fees collected for the season will make up the prize pool and will be distributed two days after the last day of the month as store credit/retail product at Cantrip Cards & Games. For our MTG Leagues, each player’s share of the prize pool is listed on the League Dashboard spreadsheet and is determined primarily by their number of wins, and to a lesser extent their personal match and game winrate. Wargaming leagues may differ in distribution of prizing.

Does a League Replace Constructed Events?

+

Nope! Leagues have no effect on whether or not constructed events are hosted at Cantrip. If you’re already planning to attend a constructed event, and you encounter another league player in one of your rounds, you can decide with them whether or not to consider your match a league match and then report it.

Magic the Gathering: Canadian Highlander League

Canadian Highlander (“Canlander”) is a 100-card singleton format that rewards creative deckbuilding and skillful play, and its cardpool extends back through time to the earliest days of Magic, so you get to play with a lot of fun powerful spells!

Odysseus Legion: Battletech Iliad League

The Odysseus Legion is a Battletech club based in Ithaca, New York that runs events around Upstate New York and develops formats for competitive and structured play. An Iliad League is a chance to compete in Classic Battletech without dedicating an entire day to the competition. Instead, players play up to five ranked matches over a season of two months. Players build a larger force from which they use smaller deployments for scenarios. 2025 Season One Iliad League runs from January 1st to February 28th. Players who join have until midnight on February 28th 2025 to play 5 ranked matches using the 2025 Iliad format rules. This format was created by Nicholas Daniluk, CDT Agent #1174.

Age of Sigmar: Warhammer Escalation League

The goal of this league is to get new players into Age of Sigmar and those who already play warhammer to explore new factions, playstyles, and hobbying techniques. Players will build and paint their armies over the course of 4 periods, or ‘PHASES’ as well as play games with others enrolled in the league. Please note that this league is meant to be fun and casual and to encourage veteran players to stray from their regular play-styles/comfort zones, while new players are encouraged to learn the game and get acclimated to the intricacies of the hobby. Give your name at the register when checking out and you'll receive 10% OFF all Games Workshop & Citadel product at Cantrip Cards & Games.
