? Epic Adepticon at 2026 Adepticon has become one of our most traditional events, so it is where we are launching our first full slate of structured Malediction events:Adepticon is no stranger to Malediction. For years now, our demo tables there have been where many Seekers first touched the cards, rolled their first dice, and felt the beat of the game for real. In 2026, we are going back to that same hall, but this time the storm is bigger. Alongside our now traditional learn-to-play demos, Adepticon will host our first full slate of structured events of Malediction 1v1 and2v2 Tournaments, Beat the Designer with Nicole Lobo, plus a dedicated Paint and Take! It is the same place where you once discovered the game, now turned into a proving ground where you can test lists, team up with allies, and even sit across from the people who design the cards.Registrations for all these events and activations open this Sunday, January 11. Keep an eye on our site, on @playmalediction, and on Adepticon’s official channels so you know exactly when you can claim your seat at the table.

Griza: Beyond the Instagram Reveals You may have already seen them on Instagram, one card at a time. Here is a little more about what is really happening behind those frames. Griza fights like a wound that never closes. Their Legacy, Ihreniv, starts at 20 Echo and turns both your Spirits and your healing spells into weapons. Spirits that fall can still perform one last action before leaving the battlefield, and every spell that restores health can lash out and deal damage equal to its cost to an engaged enemy. Your Spirits die loudly, and your healing becomes a punishment. On the unit card, Griza, Lingering Wound pushes that theme further. Spirit Master lets nearby Spirit allies swing using Griza’s attack and abilities, and Soul Sacrifice lets you pay for spells with Griza’s own health instead of Echo during their activation. You bleed your Seeker now so your Echo can carry you later, chaining spells and Essence Bursts until the opponent runs out of answers. Griza is for Seekers who enjoy attrition, engines that hurt them as much as the opponent, and games where the last turn feels like an avalanche built on every sacrifice you made before.Revisit Griza’s reveals on Instagram: ?

Something Stirs in the future, can you see it? There is one more thing we wanted to start the year with.In this Echo, you will find a single image. No title. No card frame. No explanation. Just a glimpse of something that does not quite belong to the world as you know it. What does it look like? What is this relic buried under ash? Do you recognize it as a place on Agnar? All I can say is that it is something we’ve never done before. A new announcement for our next edition! Look closely. Then tell us.Reply to this email with your guesses, drop them in our Discord, or share your theories on social tagging us @PlayMalediction. When the announcement lands, we will see who was closest to the mark. Study the image. Make your guess. Wait for the Echo on January 23rd.
