Taking place at Magic30 in Las Vegas from Oct. 28 to 30, the 2022 MTG World Championship will be played on MTG Arena and showcase three formats. Players will compete for an MTG Worlds title, a slice of the $500,000 total prize pool, and the honor of having their own Magic card. 

Each of the 31 players earned an invite to the 2022 Magic World Championship by finishing in the top six of a 2021-2022 season championship, ranking at the top of a league in points, or ranking in the top points as a Challenger who wasn’t in either the Rivals League or Magic Pro League. The only player who qualified another way was Yuta Takahashi, the 2021 Magic world champion.
