Prizes for MPDC 24 Worlds

I am excited to announce that the upcoming Monday Pauper Deck Challenge Season 24 Worlds will have the most prizes we've ever handed out.

As I discussed last time, Magic Online crashed while MPDC 24.11 was in session, causing the tournament to be cancelled. As part of our policy, all prizes from that event are rolled over into the next one.

(As an aside - thanks to everyone who took the time to comment on our server crash policy. Based on the feedback I received, I don't anticipate any changes to the policy going forward).

Season 24 Worlds will be a four round Swiss event open to all comers with a Top 8 playoff, held on Monday, May 12, at 2pm EST / 6pm GMT.  As was the case last season, the eight players with the highest total of Season Points will all receive a Round 1 bye for this event. Journey Into Nyx will not be legal for this event. Here's what the prize payout will look like:

Prizes:
  • 1st: 10 tix + 1 of each Journey Into Nyx Commons (excluding basic lands)
  • 2nd: $8 gift certificate to MTGOTraders + 4 cards from the MPDC Prize Pool
  • Top 4: $4 gift certificate to MTGOTraders + 4 cards from the MPDC Prize Pool
  • Top 8: $2 gift certificate to MTGOTraders + 4 cards from the MPDC Prize Pool
  • Top 16: $1 gift certificate to MTGOTraders  (based on Swiss standings)
  • Door Prize: 1 booster pack of Born of the Gods
That's over $55 in prize money available, paying out all the way down to Top 16. And as always, this event is absolutely free! Now that's good value!
