The second Magic Online Champions Showcase of 2021 is almost here, featuring eight players battling for their share of $70,000 and the title of the 2021 Season 2 Showcase Champion.
What Are the Formats?
The Season 2 Showcase event leads off with the return of the 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 2 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 2021 Magic Online Champions Showcase Season 2 features a $70,000 prize pool. Here's how it breaks down:
| Place | Prize |
