Prior to the main event there will a truly epic 3-VS-3 Side event called “BattleWorld” on Fridaynight followed by a Edge-Man pre-party. You can ready everything about BattleWorld here!

Special Guest: ANSON MADDOCKS!

legendary Magic artist Anson Maddocks will be joining us at the Edge-Man Championship 2026 as our Guest of Honor! His iconic style—so evocative of that early Alpha and Beta magic—has shaped how many of us fell in love with the game.

Anson will be available for live altering and autograph signings. Whether you’re hoping to snag a signed print of Sengir Vampire or simply chat about the challenges of illustrating mana-driven horrors, this is your chance.

New Merch

Alongside the excitement of meeting Anson, we’re dropping brand-new merch inspired by this year’s theme: BattleWorld — a retro-futuristic dystopia pulsing with neon glow, industrial decay, and raw cyberpunk grit.

Expect fresh custom patches, new sticker designs, and awesome giveaways. By popular demand, the legendary Wheel of Fortune is back — proudly operated by my daughters, Noor and Suus! There’s much more to look forward to!

Many of you will remember the incredible playmat designed by Buddy Jonkers in collaboration with The Edge-Man — a limited-edition gem that became an instant community favorite.

This year, we’re unveiling an all-new design. I won’t spoil the surprise, but trust me — it’ll knock your socks off… and then some.

Cool prizes!

Get ready for professional alters of your favorite Old School staples — all inspired by legendary retro-futuristic dystopia films like Escape from New York, RoboCop, The Terminator, and more!

Compete for awesome prizes that channel the gritty, neon-soaked spirit of these cinematic classics.

Beyond the Top 8, we’ll also reward players for spicy brews, thematic builds, and much more. Bring the flavor — and the fire.

Registration opens soon!

Last year, the tournament filled up quickly — and with a hard cap on the number of players the venue can host, we expect spots to go just as fast this time… if not faster, especially with Anson joining us.

We’re opening registration before the end of summer to give everyone plenty of time to book flights and hotels, making it easier to plan your trip and be part of the action.
