Magic World Championship XXVII Begins Tomorrow

Wizards of the Coast will be holding the Magic World Championship XXVII tomorrow with the top 16 players from around the globe. For this particular event, both the Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Draft and Standard Constructed formats will be used as they will cover 10 Swiss rounds of play over the first two days. As players earn their seventh match win, they will automatically advance to the Top 4 playoff, while the remaining standings will be determined at the end of Round 10 to determine any remaining Top 4 slots. The event will be broadcast on Twitch from October 8th-10th for everyone to check out.  We have more info on how things will play out below.
