Is Magic Organized Play failing?

Negativity surrounding the state of competitive Magic has reached a boiling point, from RCQ formats and attendance to promos, prize support, and comparisons to newer games like One Piece and Riftbound.

This week, we take a look at the current state of MTG Organized Play and where we think things could improve. As longtime competitive Magic players with nearly 20 years of experience—and with Jacob continuing to compete at the Pro Tour level—we wanted to cut through some of the doom and gloom and offer constructive criticism about the future of competitive Magic.

What is Organized Play getting right? Where is it falling short? And what can Magic learn from the competitive ecosystems being built by other TCGs?

Let us know what you think about the current state of MTG Organized Play!

One week after the massive Standard bans, we take a look at the new format and how the metagame is beginning to take shape.

Then, we turn our attention to Timeless—one of MTG Arena’s most powerful (and underplayed) formats. With an Arena Championship Qualifier coming up in two weeks, we start getting up to speed on the format before diving much deeper with a full Timeless episode next week.

Plus, as always, some Shop Talk to kick things off!
