At the conclusion of Magic World Championship XXIX at MagicCon: Las Vegas, September 22–24, Wizards of the Coast will announce the Player of the Year for the 2022–2023 season.
The Player of the Year will be determined on total Player of the Year Points earned from the three Pro Tours (Pro Tours Phyrexia, March of the Machine, and The Lord of the Rings) and Magic World Championship XXIX held during the 2022–2023 season. The Player of the Year trophy will be presented to the Player of the Year at the first Pro Tour in the 2023–2024 season at MagicCon: Chicago.
Player of the Year Points differ from Adjusted Match Points ("AMPs"). AMPs were designed to award invitations to Pro Tours on a rolling basis and invitations to the World Championship on a seasonal performance basis.
