Welcome to Chiba, Japan and the 2010 Magic: The Gathering World Championships. This weekend marks the culmination of an amazing Pro Tour season. Who will hoist the World Champion trophy? Will the traditional powers show their strength in the National Team competition, or will a relative unknown team emerge as China did last year? Will American Brad Nelson end five years of Japanese dominance in the Player of the Year race? Who will be crowned the Magic Online World Champion? How will the event shape the Standard and Extended metagames?
All these questions and more will be answered over the next four days as 350 players from 60 countries put their Magic skills to the test. Day 1 begins with the Parade of Nations and Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, followed by six rounds of Standard and two National Team rounds. The National Teams take a break on Friday, when we have six rounds of Scars of Mirrodin Booster Draft. Then Saturday features the final two team rounds and six rounds of Extended. Come Saturday night, we'll know the Top 8 individuals and the Top 2 National Teams who will be competing Sunday under the spotlights.
Follow along all weekend as Brian David-Marshall, Rich Hagon, Bill Stark, Monty Ashley, Tim Willoughby, Ray Walkinshaw, Rashad Miller, and Craig Gibson bring you all the action from 2010 Worlds.
