Congratulations Ken Yukuhiro, the Winner of Pro Tour Magic: The Gathering®—FINAL FANTASY!

Hundreds of Magic: The Gathering's best players flocked to sunny Las Vegas this past weekend for Pro Tour Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY. With a prize pool of $500,00 and invitations to World Championship 31 on the line, it was a high-stakes, high-heat weekend. So, when the dust cleared, who stood victorious?

After two well-fought days of Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY Draft and three days of Standard Constructed, Ken Yukuhiro took home a well-earned victory with Mono-Red Aggro. We'd like to offer our congratulations to Yukuhiro. We'll see you at Pro Tour Edge of Eternities and World Championship 31!

Take Flight with Spacecrafts (and Vehicles) in Brawl!

At the MagicCon: Las Vegas Preview Panel, we announced a special change to the rules of Commander: legendary Vehicles and Spacecrafts with a printed power and toughness can be your commander! But Commander isn't the only format where these vessels can helm your deck. Legendary Vehicles and Spacecrafts will be able to be your commander in MTG Arena's Brawl format starting with Edge of Eternities!

But what are Spacecrafts? Learn more about these stellar ships (and everything else we revealed about Edge of Eternities) in this article.

Prepare for the Upcoming Qualifier Weekend

Even with nearly constant air conditioning and miles of arid desert surrounding it, Las Vegas was unable to contain all the Magic action, however. MTG Arena held a Best-of-One Play-In Qualifier featuring Historic Constructed on Saturday that will feed into the upcoming Qualifier Weekend on June 28–29, along with the Best-of-Three Play-In on June 27.

For detailed information on Qualifier Play-Ins and Qualifier Weekends—a pathway for MTG Arena players to potentially make their way to the Pro Tour and Magic World Championship events—please visit this page.
