Grand Contests Feel… Less than GRAND

Are Sorcery’s Grand Contests missing the mark?

In this episode, we dive into the controversy around prize support and what it means for the future of competitive Sorcery.

We cover:
• Why current prize support feels underwhelming
• The importance of EV vs “clout” incentives
• Lessons from Magic: The Gathering’s competitive ecosystem
• How poor incentives can create a negative feedback loop
• Why competitive players are the game’s BEST marketing tool
• What Sorcery could do better (original art? better promos?)

This isn’t a hate piece — it’s a constructive critique from players who want the game to succeed long-term.
