This June, the next great chapter in community-run events continues to unfold with SorceryCon Presents the Unland Cup, taking place June 6-8, 2025 and brought to you by the team behind last year’s hit SorceryCon event.
For the SorceryCon team, this event is a bit of homecoming. David Cornwell and Alex West, the visionaries behind the very first SorceryCon in Seattle over a year ago, are once again bringing the community together in the city where it all began.
Taking place at the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center, The Unland Cup builds on all the elements you’ve come to know and love from a SorceryCon event: a welcoming atmosphere, a celebration of camaraderie, and a mix of casual and competitive play.
“We really work to make sure that our events are, first and foremost, a place for people to come and share their love of Sorcery with one another, no matter what part of Sorcery they love the most,” notes event organizer David Cromwell.
A Venue Built for Gathering
If you’ve ever traveled for a gaming event, you know the logistics can sometimes be as tricky as landing the perfect Chaos Twister. That’s why the SorceryCon team has chosen a venue that makes things as seamless as possible for those looking to travel from across the realm to the Unland Cup.
Located just steps from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, the Hilton Seattle Airport & Conference Center is easily accessible for out-of-town attendees, no rental car or rideshare required. And if you want to explore downtown Seattle after a long day of casting spells? The light rail will take you there in minutes.
A Weekend of Sorcery Showdowns
At the heart of the Unland Cup is the Unland Constructed tournament, capped for this event at 128 players. But unlike past SorceryCon constructed tournaments, this time they’re doing something new. Once the dust settles and the Top 8 emerges, those final matches won’t be crammed into an already exhausting day. Instead, the Top 8 matches will take place on Sunday as best-of-three untimed matches, allowing games to play out without the pressure of a ticking clock.
Of course, SorceryCon has never been just about competition. Event organizers Alex and David emphasize that there’s plenty to explore beyond the Cup itself. “We’ve always made sure our events focus on the entire Sorcery community,” David adds, “Whether you’re here to compete, trade, collect, or simply admire the artwork, we want to ensure there’s something for everyone.”
From 2-Headed Dragon Constructed events to guest artists, Alex and David’s focus on blending structured competition with community-driven formats is at the core of SorceryCon’s philosophy.
A Continuation of SorceryCon Tradition
And that’s what makes the Unland Cup special! It’s not just about winning matches. It’s about putting faces to Discord names, sharing a laugh over a well-played spell, and being part of a gathering that feels like home.
“I’m most excited to just hang out with Sorcery players again,” David shares, “And who knows—maybe I’ll even get in a few multiplayer games myself.”
