Here are 7 Magic World Championship players to watch

02/09/2020

The 2019 Magic: The Gathering season underwent massive changes, introducing competitive digital gameplay via MTG Arena and the formation of the Magic Pro League (MPL).

For the first time in history, players earned seats at the Magic World Championship through wins at a tabletop or Arena Mythic Championship. And those who ranked in the top four for the season, based on Mythic Points, as a Challenger or MPL player also earned a seat. In total, 16 Magic players from around the world will gather in Honolulu, Hawaii from Feb. 14 to 17 to decide who will win Magic World Championship XXVI.

Here are the top 16 Magic players competing at the Magic World Championship XXVI.
