Under Realm Open Alpha Thread Challenge | 1st Ed.

It’s been a wild month since we opened Under Realm TCG to the world. After the private test, seeing more players jump in, experiment with deck strategies, and uncover powerful plays has been incredible. But now, we want to hear directly from you.

We’re kicking off the Under Realm Open Alpha Thread Challenge—a chance for you to share your thoughts, strategies, and even your criticisms, all while competing for some solid rewards.

About Under Realm: Rise of Magic

Under Realm is the first on-chain trading card game on Solana, blending grand strategy with a unique no-mana system. Players battle, stake, trade, and craft Cardlings—NFTs from the Genesis set—while mastering deep strategic gameplay. Free-to-play, browser-based currently, and crafted for those who seek true tactical depth.

Built by an indie studio of OG Solana devs with experience from Axie Infinity & Ronin, Under Realm takes you on a journey to a mystical undercity, inspired by Lord of the Rings. Five distinct factions shape its world, each with its own playstyle, offering a world of strategy, lore, and conquest.

Why This Challenge?

Under Realm: Rise of Magic is built on ideas—yours, ours, and the community’s. TCGs thrive on discussion, meta shifts, and player-driven discoveries. This isn’t just a competition; it’s an open mic for the people who’ve been testing the game firsthand.

If you’ve played Under Realm from Private Test to the current Open Alpha, you already have an opinion. Maybe you found a deck combo that slaps. Maybe a certain mechanic caught you off guard. Or maybe there’s something that just doesn’t feel right. We want to hear all of it : )

And yes, we’ll be rewarding the best insights with U point, whitelist spots, and USDC prizes (plus some extra love on our socials).
