SCG CON Richmond Features Magic Spotlight: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Commander Packages

Star City Games is hosting Magic Spotlight: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at SCG CON Richmond, a three-day gathering running March 6-8, 2026 in Richmond, Virginia, that includes a Standard Constructed main event with a reported $50,000 prize pool and a $75 advertised entry fee. Star City Games is streaming live coverage, telling fans, "We’re thrilled to bring you live coverage of Magic Spotlight: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at SCG CON Richmond! Join our cast of all-star commentators as they guide you through two days of high-level MTG action!" and adding, "Tune in both Saturday and Sunday beginning at 9 AM ET over on our YouTube channel!"

The Spotlight main event schedule lists Day 1 as Saturday, March 7, with Round 1 beginning at 9:00 AM ET and nine rounds of Swiss, and advancement set for "All players with 18+ Match Points" to Day 2. Day 2 is Sunday, March 8, with Round 10 beginning at 9:00 AM ET, six rounds of Swiss, and the Top 8 players advancing to a single-elimination playoff. Star City Games copy and the event schedule emphasize that coverage will begin at 9 AM ET both days.

Registration and platform details appear on Melee.gg, which captured “In Progress | 675 of 2000 Enrolled Players” at the time of listing and shows an entry fee of $75.00 plus a $6.74 platform fee. Melee’s event copy promises, "All participants receive an exclusive promo and compete for $50,000 in cash prizes and invitations to the Pro Tour," and notes operational rules such as "For paper printouts generated for this tournament, participants' names will be displayed using their full real names, irrespective of their profile's name display settings. This specification applies solely to printed materials." Melee also records that "The organizer has agreed to pay out prizes in 60 days or less."

Promo distribution language differs between platforms: Star City Games states that "All players receive a Super Shredder Promo card" and that "The Top 128 players receive a Foil Super Shredder promo card," while Melee’s participation field reads "Participation: Non-foil promo." Both statements are present in the event materials captured.

Commander hospitality at SCG CON appears as two distinct Star City Games listings. The Commander Celebration cEDH Package is listed at $100 and includes "entry into the weekend’s cEDH $5K event," exclusive access to the Command Zone for all three days, one Arcane Signet promotional card (Non-Foil), a choice of playmat from "over a dozen available at the Star City Games Prize Wall," two entry vouchers into exclusive Command Zone scheduled events, and a commemorative badge and lanyard, plus a Melee.gg fee note. Separately, a Commander Celebration Package at $80 lists similar inclusions — exclusive Command Zone access three days, one Arcane Signet promotional card (Non-Foil), commemorative badge and lanyard, the same playmat choice, and four entry vouchers into Command Zone scheduled events. Both listings appear on official pages; treat them as separate offerings pending organizer confirmation.

SCG CON programming extends beyond Magic: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to events for Flesh and Blood, Riftbound, Pokémon, Vibes, Sorcery, Bo Jackson Battle Arena, and Wonders of The First. A captured Friday block bears the title "Legacy $1K" while immediately listing "Format: Modern," an internal contradiction in the schedule capture. For registration questions, the SCG CON pages provide an organizer contact of organizedplay@starcitygames.com and reference the SCG CON Discord. SCG CON’s site also reminds attendees, "Best of all, SCG CON is free to attend!"

Star City Games and Magic.gg have promoted the weekend aggressively — Magic.gg's copy says, "Prepare for a totally tubular experience at Magic Spotlight: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!" — and streaming traffic was visible on the event YouTube listing, which captured a viewer snapshot reading "2,911 watching now." Final attendance, prize breakdowns beyond the $50,000 pool, and which Commander package purchasers received remain points to verify with Star City Games as the event proceeds.
