List of Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour events

This is a list of all Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour events.[1][2][3] Pro Tours are professional, invite-only tournaments featuring large cash prizes. The World Championships were considered a Pro Tour from 1996 to 2011, but were discontinued in 2012. When the World Championship was reintroduced in 2013 it was changed to a smaller scale non-Pro Tour event.

Currently four Pro Tours are held each tournament season, but in the past there have been as many as seven. The first Pro Tour was held in New York City in 1996. Magic Pro Tours award $250,000 in cash prizes with $40,000 being awarded to the winner alone. Invitations are usually earned by winning a qualifier tournament. Other means of qualifying include, finishing high in a Grand Prix or in the previous Pro Tour, or doing very well in multiple Grand Prix and Pro Tours in a season.

Notes

  1. ↑ Beginning with the 2012 Pro Tour season, Wizards of the Coast began naming Pro Tours with the title of the expansion set released at around the same time as the Pro Tour. If the name of the expansion set has not yet been announced, the expansion set codename is used instead.
  2. ↑ Pro Tour New York 1996 used a modified Standard format wherein each decklist had to include at least 5 cards of each set in Standard.
