2026 Shanodin Circuit

Pi day, 2026 marked the first Cleveland Rocs Old School Shanodin Circuit!

The 2026 Shanodin Circuit was a cozy shop tournament at the Shuffler’s Den in (appropriately woodsy) Willoughby Hills, Ohio. 27 old schoolers showed up to battle for an outstanding trophy, and the vibe was awesome. The format was 93/94 EC and we had a great representation of area clubs show up! It was awesome to see so many familiar faces (and some new ones!), and to all be “Rocs” for the day!

I often go off on tangents, but we’ll keep this report short and objective, as to focus on a visual tour of the tournament and meta! See for yourself! (For this event, to lower the barrier to entry and emphasize “the gathering”, a 15 card proxy allowance was in place.)

The Pie and Dough

And what better way to celebrate PI day than with some local baked goods! (Additionally, we were able to casually raise a couple hundred bucks for the UOAA, a charity that helps many in my personal line of work!)
