Magic the Gathering ‘s 30th Anniversary is going to be celebrated all year (in 2023), but is kicking off with a giant event this October!
The event will be taking place from October 28-30, 2022 at the EXPO at World Market Center in Las Vegas, NV. However, on their site, they mention there will be celebrations and events all throughout the year. The first general release of MTG was back in 1993, so this event will kick things off, then basically all 2023, expect some big things for the game!
The event, announced by Magic, will host Commander events, a modern tournament, Unfinity events, and more! If you love Magic, this might be the event to be at. Let’s check out some more details!
Magic the Gathering 30th Anniversary Kick-Off
Tickets for the celebration will go on sale in July, with a range of ticket options, including virtual tickets for those who can’t make the trip starting at $30 and single-day general admission starting at $75 (please note pricing is exclusive of applicable service fees and sales tax). Weekend passes, VIP, and Commander-specific tickets will be available as well. More specific details around ticket packages will be announced in July, along with more information about events, panels, special guests, and exclusives you can only get at Magic 30.
We imagine there will also be plenty of exclusives only available there, and with everything already going on, it’s sure to be fun! Just be sure to keep your eyes peeled for the ticket packages as we expect them to go quite fast for the actual tournaments. Let’s check out all the events going down:
- A Modern tournament that feeds into a Top 8 Beta draft. Yes, Limited Edition Beta.
