Create the biggest Duel Commander tournament in the world !​

The Universal Prime Fest is the biggest event organized by MTG Prime so far. For three days, test your decks in various formats present every day: Duel Commander, Modern, Legacy, Pioneer and Pauper. 8 men will also be possible on request, including drafts.

Participate in the Main Event Duel Commander with a capacity of 350 places and try to make it the biggest Duel Commander tournament in the world. At stake ? Up to 24 Dual Lands to share in the top8 and vouchers for all day 2 qualified players.

"I was there !"

For the event, an exclusive playmat and a silicone bracelet engraved with the name of the event have been made. So you can say: “I was there !”

Designed by Captain Magic Altered, it reflects the spirit desired by MTG Prime Events. In the editorial line of our events, we hope that this playmat will make you as powerful as a sun and as serene as the cosmos !

In addition to the playmat, a silicone bracelet engraved with the name of the event will complete the souvenir kit.

These two exclusive items can be picked up at the event ticket office for the sum of €20. In addition, an offer limited to 150 copies is open to participants of the Main Event: Main Event (40€) + Souvenir kit (20€) at 55€ instead of 60.

The artists present !

Captain Magic Altered

Honor to the ladies or rather to the lady. She will embody good humor throughout this event. Recently voted 3rd best professional alterer in the world, take the opportunity to embellish your collection with some of her alterations and why not have her sign the carpet of the souvenir kit because she is the creator !

Marisa Capitao aka Captain Magic Altered, I am a French-Portuguese professional MTG alterer. I discovered and joined the magic community thanks to my entourage. I wanted to bring together the passion for painting and playing Magic, so I started modifying cards for fun and friends. I started in 2017 and am known to be specialized in fan-art (without a particular artistic style that's also what differentiates me). I also developed a patented technique of applying foil paint after altering !

Kevin Altered

Do you like shiny things? Do you like alterations? So this is the man you need! Each foil alteration that Kevin Altered produces is a unique piece. The final boss of the foil, he is never short of ideas to innovate especially when it comes to things that shine.

I have been an alterer for 10 years, I play "laboratory maniacs" in order to differentiate myself from paint alteration and create my own style with "collage" / "foil peeling": a technique that I created because I love the foil. Today, a specialist in foil alteration, I appreciate the exchanges and being paid for my work in magic cards because I am a regular EDH multi player. Don't throw away your unused bulk foils, give them to me. Particularly sought after: old frames foil cards
