The Winter Ball ‘25
The Winter Ball ‘25 was a community centered Premodern, Old School, and Legacy Magic: the Gathering event hosted in the Greater Rochester NY area by the Rochester Royals. This was the inaugural event and we were blown away by the turnout! Seventy folks from across the North East of the United States joined us to jam Premodern, Old School, Legacy and raise support for those in need: The Gathering at its finest.
