Cyberpunk TCG Edgerunner Open: Dates, Tickets, Prizes

WeirdCo's Organized Play structure page still says it will share the Edgerunner Open Regional schedule "in due course." As of 1 November 2026 it still says that — and it is out of date, because the schedule landed on 4 September in a blog post, and WeirdCo's dedicated Edgerunner Open Regionals page (cyberpunktcg.com/eor) now carries venues, ticket allocations, the Main Event format and the full prize ladder.

On 4 September 2026, in a blog post recapping its Welcome to Night City Digital Beta Celebration stream, WeirdCo named two cities, five ticket-sale dates and a backer lottery. If you have only read our breakdown of the Organized Play ladder — which correctly told you in August that no Regional date existed and to ignore any you saw quoted — that advice has expired. Dates, venues and caps exist.

There is a second story, which sits in WeirdCo's own card database: the Edgerunner Open Season 1 set, stamped EOR01 - WNC, has grown to 53 printings since the stream. Twenty-six of those printings are Legends serialized to 99.

Two cities, venues and caps

Chicago is three days, Warsaw is two. WeirdCo's wording for both on 4 September: "side events, vendors, and lots of other fun and exciting activities." The Main Event is Constructed Best-of-Three: eight Swiss rounds on day one, day two for everyone on 18 match points or more, three further Swiss rounds, then a top 16 into four single-elimination rounds. WeirdCo says events with lower caps run fewer rounds, and that Warsaw plays one fewer Swiss round on day two. Chicago also reserves 64 of its Main Event seats for Friday play-in side event tournaments. WeirdCo's EOR page says further details about the format will come when it publishes its complete Tournament Rules.

Two things worth noticing about the dates themselves. Chicago lands five weeks after the 6 November retail release of Welcome to Night City, which is a short runway for a first large-scale constructed event. And both events sit inside the Welcome to Night City set cycle, which is what the Organized Play page promised: Set Two, Edgerunners: Burn Bright, was announced on 20 October for Spring 2027, after both Regionals.

The ticket calendar

All times as WeirdCo published them, with where each stands as of 1 November.

Read the shape rather than the rows. Chicago gets three waves, Warsaw gets two, and WeirdCo gives a reason for the extra one: the Chicago Wave 2 on 4 November exists "to give players who discover Cyberpunk TCG at Retail Pre-release events the opportunity to secure regional tickets." WeirdCo's 14 October dev blog gives the Pre-release window as 30 October to 5 November, so Wave 2 opens on 4 November, inside that window. That is a publisher deliberately reserving inventory for people who do not own the game yet.

Warsaw's Wave 1 sits after Chicago's Wave 2, despite Warsaw being the later event, so a European player's general on-sale is 11 November.

All sales run through Melee, the tournament platform WeirdCo named as its software partner on 18 August 2026. To buy a ticket you must have linked your Melee and Cyberpunktcg.com accounts, and WeirdCo recommends doing that before sales begin. Ticket types on the page: Major Leagues (Main Event, $75/€75 plus fees), Streetkid (attendee) and a Spectator-only badge that is not available at every event. WeirdCo's page says unsold Wave 0 tickets are re-offered to other backers for a very limited time before returning to the public pool.

The backer lottery has closed

Kickstarter backers could enter a lottery for a limited number of Main Event Competitor tickets to either Regional. Entries ran from noon EST on 8 September to noon EST on 20 September 2026, with winners informed on 23 September. That window is shut: there is nothing left to enter. The lottery covered Main Event Competitor tickets specifically; WeirdCo said other ticket types would be available in the general release for people who wanted to attend without playing the Main Event.

The prize set in the card database

WeirdCo's card database, powered by Netdeck, carries a full printing history on every card entry. Page through all 151 cards in it and the Edgerunner Open S 1 set (edgerunneropens1), stamped EOR01 - WNC on the card face, has 53 printings at collector numbers 001 to 054, with number 028 the only gap. Every one of them is the Nova Rare rarity WeirdCo uses for promos. They break down like this:

That is 42 Legend printings, 8 Programs and 3 Units. The database holds 27 Legends in total, and 26 of them have an Edgerunner Open printing; the one that does not is the Rebecca: Having a Moment promo.

The 26 serialized Legends are spread almost evenly across the four colours: 6 Red (#029-034), 6 Yellow (#035-040), 7 Green (#041-047) and 7 Blue (#048-054). Serialized names by colour:

• Red: Adam Smasher: Ender of Legends, Dexter DeShawn: Off the Grid, Johnny Silverhand: Rocking Renegade, Royce: Psycho on the Edge, V: Streetkid, Yorinobu Arasaka: Embracing Destruction.
• Yellow: Dum Dum: Maelstrom Triggerman, Kerry Eurodyne: Axe, Attitude, Audience, Muamar Reyes: El Capitán, River Ward: Detective on the Hunt, Rogue Amendiares: Preem Solo, Viktor Vektor: Sit Down and Relax.
• Green: Goro Takemura: Hands Unclean, Goro Takemura: Vengeful Bodyguard, Hanako Arasaka: Daughter of the Emperor, Jackie Welles: Mama's Favorite, Padre: Man of the Cross, Panam Palmer: Nomad Cavalry, Saburo Arasaka: Stubborn Patriarch.
• Blue: Alt Cunningham: Soulkiller Architect, Evelyn Parker: Beautiful Enigma, Jackie Welles: Pour One Out For Me, Judy Álvarez: Braindance Maestro, Sasha Yakovleva: Won't Let You Down, V: Corporate Exile, Wakako Okada: Peace and Harmony.

Since constructed decks run exactly three uniquely named Legends and their RAM is the deckbuilding constraint, a prize pool that covers every colour matters: every one of these Legends prints RAM 2, the same as 26 of the 27 Legends in the database. These are card-database entries, not a published set list; WeirdCo has not stated a set size in words.

Twenty-six Legends are serialized to 99

WeirdCo teased "Encrypted Legend" serialized prize cards on stream and named three of them: V: Corporate Exile, Alt Cunningham: Soulkiller Architect and Goro Takemura: Hands Unclean. Its framing was that "the best performing players at the end of each EOR will receive a serialized version of one of their chosen Legends."

Open the renders and there are far more than three. Printings #029 to #054, twenty-six Legends in all, carry a serial box, sitting in the bottom centre of the card above the power value and outlined in the card's own colour. The first sixteen Legend printings (#012-027) do not carry one, and neither do the Units or the Programs. The V: Corporate Exile render at the top of this post is one of the twenty-six; look at the box under the rules line.

Every serial box reads the same thing: 00 / 99.

The numerator is a placeholder — a database render has no serial to print, so it shows zeroes. The denominator is not a placeholder, and it says 99. Be precise about what that is worth: the card face says 99, and WeirdCo's EOR page describes the awards as serialized "Encrypted Legend" promos without stating a print run in words. Treat 99 as evidence, not as an announcement.

WeirdCo now explains how the serialized cards are awarded. When submitting Main Event decklists through Melee, players rank their three Legends in priority order. Starting with the champion and working down the final standings, each of the highest-performing players receives a serialized Encrypted Legend promo of their highest-priority Legend that has not already been awarded. Once all three of a player's Legends have been awarded to better finishers, that player gets none. WeirdCo's page also lists a serialized Lucyna Kushinada promo for the Top 8, a card that is not in the database's Edgerunner Open set.

The Braindances are a one-per-colour cycle

The four Programs are the cleanest piece of design in the set, and the database makes the pattern exact rather than approximate.

WeirdCo described them on stream as "low-cost, highly playable Programs." Here is what that means in numbers. The database holds 13 BRAINDANCE Programs in total, at costs from 1 to 6. Exactly four of them cost 1, and those four are precisely the four in the Edgerunner Open set — one in each colour, each at RAM 1, each carrying the eddie sell icon. Each has two Edgerunner Open printings (#004-007 and #008-011).

Every one of the four is a one-Eddie Gig manipulator with a conditional cantrip bolted on, and every condition is a different Gig-state test: a high Gig, two differing Gigs, a matched pair, a minimum Gig. That is a deliberate cycle, not four cards that happen to share a cost.

Two of the four carry a faction tag alongside BRAINDANCE: Industrial Assembly is ARASAKA, Afterparty at Lizzie's is MOX. Peace Offering and Trust No One carry BRAINDANCE alone. Tag payoffs are a real deckbuilding axis in this game, so that is worth a second look rather than a shrug. WeirdCo's Prize Wall also sells a Braindance Promo Pack (one random foil borderless card from four) for 400 Prize Wall Eddies.

Six serialized Legends cannot be opened in a booster

Cross-reference the 26 serialized Legends against every other printing in the database and a clear split falls out.

Twenty of the 26 have a Welcome to Night City Beta or Retail printing, so they can be opened in boosters. That includes most of the newer additions: Adam Smasher, Royce: Psycho on the Edge, V: Streetkid, Dum Dum, River Ward, Rogue, Goro Takemura: Vengeful Bodyguard, Hanako, Jackie Welles: Mama's Favorite, Padre, Judy, Alt Cunningham, Evelyn Parker, Wakako Okada and the rest.

Six have no Welcome to Night City booster printing at all — not Beta, not Retail. They are starter-deck Legends: Goro Takemura: Hands Unclean, Saburo Arasaka: Stubborn Patriarch and Yorinobu Arasaka: Embracing Destruction from Embracing Power; Jackie Welles: Pour One Out For Me, V: Corporate Exile and Viktor Vektor: Sit Down and Relax from The Heist. All six are on the list of eleven cards you cannot pull from a booster, which I re-ran against the database on 1 November at 151 cards and which still stands at eleven.

The overlap goes further for those six. WeirdCo's Box Toppers, unlocked at the $6M and $8M Kickstarter stretch goals, contain six cards in the Retail version and the same six in the Beta version. Every one of those six is also in the Edgerunner Open set. So the premium treatment ladder for these six cards runs: starter deck printing, demo deck printing, Box Topper printing, serialized EOR printing.

That is consistent with WeirdCo's stated promo policy that promos are variants of cards you can already get.

The alt-art Legends are now in the database

On 4 September WeirdCo showcased four alternative art pieces destined for "some of our Edgerunner Regional Open prize cards and promos": Dexter DeShawn: Off the Grid, V: Streetkid, Muamar Reyes: El Capitán and Judy Álvarez: Braindance Maestro. When the post was first written they had no Edgerunner Open printing in the database. They do now: printings #012-027 are exactly those four Legends, four printings each, without a serial box, and each also has a serialized printing in the #029-054 range (#030, #033, #037 and #051).

They line up with the stamped promos on WeirdCo's prize ladder: a stamped Muamar Reyes for Day 2 qualifiers, a stamped Dexter DeShawn for the Top 64, a stamped V: Streetkid for the Top 32 and a stamped Judy Álvarez for the Top 16. The database does not say why each card has four unserialized printings, so treat that part as unexplained; the #025 V: Streetkid render carries a CHAMPION stamp, which fits the stamped-promo ladder, but I have not checked the other fifteen. The same four Legends also appear as EOR Legend Art Playmats on the Prize Wall.

What is still unpublished

Being specific, because the volume of new detail makes it easy to assume more is settled than is:

• Edgerunner Open format details. WeirdCo's EOR page says further details about the Constructed Best-of-Three format will be available when it publishes its complete Tournament Rules. A general Tournament Rules document has been live since 25 September (see our Tournament Rules breakdown), but the EOR page has not been updated to point at it.
• Side event schedules. Premier side events, serialized playmats and further Black Sapphire invites are mentioned; the schedule and full details are not.
• The serialized print run, in words. The renders say 99. WeirdCo has not.
• Whether 53 is the whole set. Collector numbers run to 054 with one gap, 028, and the set has grown since September.
• Everything above EOR. Black Sapphire Invitational qualification beyond the Top 64 invite and the World Championship remain mostly blank. A Top 64 finish earns a Black Sapphire invite and a Champion earns a World Championship invite.

One correction to carry forward: WeirdCo's Organized Play structure page has not been updated for any of this. As of 1 November it still reads "We'll share our full Edgerunner Open Regional schedule with you in due course." The EOR page and the 4 September blog post are the current sources; the structure page is stale.

Quick Action Checklist

• If you want a Chicago Main Event ticket, Wave 2 opens at 7PM EST / 4PM PT on 4 November. It holds 662 Main Event tickets, 500 attendee tickets and 500 spectator tickets. Link your Melee and Cyberpunktcg.com accounts first.
• If you are in Europe, your general on-sale is Warsaw Wave 1 at noon EST / 9AM PT on 11 November. It holds 1,024 Main Event and 300 attendee tickets.
• If you backed the Kickstarter and won the lottery, Wave 0 has already run. WeirdCo says unsold Wave 0 tickets are re-offered to other backers by email.
• Submit your decklist with your three Legends in priority order. That ranking decides which serialized Encrypted Legend, if any, you can be awarded.
• Do not pay a secondary-market premium on a serialized Legend yet. No print run has been published in words; the /99 is a card-face detail on a database render. And the six starter-deck Legends already carry starter, demo and Box Topper printings before the serialized one.
