Spoiler and pre-release seasons are over and the era of Adventures in the Forgotten Realms has officially started in Magic: The Gathering. The latest Standard legal set is available now in print and digitally and fans of the card game have a lot of options of they want to find a Constructed or Limited tournament to play in over the next few weeks.
Now that the new set is available, Magic Arena has released its event schedule for the final weeks of July and the first week of August. The upcoming calendar is jam-packed with exciting activities and should have something for everyone. The new D&D themed set is obviously pretty dominant in the Limited category, but it's not the only option out there. Players will be done revisiting Zendikar Rising starting this weekend, but there are still lots of other events to join if players aren't in the mood for a Forgotten Realms draft.
