2022 Magic Online Champions Showcase Season 1 Viewers Guide

June 13, 2022
Wizards of the Coast

The kickoff Magic Online Champions Showcase of the 2022 season is here, featuring eight incredible players battling for $70,000 in cash prizes and the title of the 2022 Season 1 Showcase Champion.


What Are the Formats?

The Season 1 Showcase event leads off with a Magic Online Vintage Cube Draft followed by a three-round Modern Constructed format event—both using Swiss pairings. If the same player wins both events, that player is the Season 1 Showcase Champion. Otherwise, the winner of each event will square off in a single Best-of-Three playoff match in Modern Constructed to determine the Showcase Champion.

How Much Money Is on the Line?

The 2022 Magic Online Champions Showcase Season 1 features a $70,000 prize pool. Here's how it breaks down:

Place Prize
1 $20,000
2 $15,000
3 $7,500
4 $7,500
5 $5,000
6 $5,000
