TIME SPIRAL REMASTERED FLASHBACK DRAFT SEPTEMBER 14–20
Take a trip down Dominaria's memory lane with Time Spiral Remastered Flashback Draft, available September 14–20. Entry options are 10 Event Tickets or 100 Play Points.
Reminder: Flashback decks are Phantom, so cards drafted are not added to collections.
DOMINARIA UNITED BEST-OF-ONE DRAFT LEAGUE ENDS THURSDAY
For the first time, Magic Online is running a Best-of-One Draft League. Until this Thursday, September 15, at 10 a.m. PT (17:00 UTC) join the draft queue and play until you get 7 wins or 3 losses. Full details, including prizes, are found in the Dominaria United article.
This league is perfect if you only have time for a quick game or two between classes, during lunch, before you head out, or after the kids are asleep. If this is your style, give this league a try before it runs out!
SHOWCASE CHALLENGE WEEKENDS
Players looking to prove their mettle against the best players in Magic Online will want to use their QPs to enter Magic Online Champions Showcase (MOCS) events such as the returning Showcase Challenges this weekend.
These MOCS events are a set of linked events designed to highlight the best players on Magic Online each season, culminating in the Champions Showcase and its prize pool of $70,000 and invitations to the 2023 World Championship!
First up this Saturday, September 17, we have the Modern Showcase Challenge at 8 a.m. PT (15:00 UTC), and on Sunday, September 18, we have the Pioneer Showcase Challenge at 6 a.m. PT (13:00 UTC).
Then the following week we finish things off on Saturday, September 24, with the Standard Showcase Challenge at 6 a.m. PT (13:00) and on Sunday, September 25, with the Legacy Showcase Challenge at 8 a.m. PT (15:00).
Each of these events requires 40 QPs to enter. The Top 8 finishers from each event will earn a qualification token to enter the appropriate Showcase Qualifier in December.
