The Magic Celebrity Cup will pit 36 influencer celebrities and Magic experts from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom head to head in intense (but very friendly) competition on behalf of their countries! There's no prize on the line, just sweet, sweet pride and glory.

We're pairing each celebrity with a Magic expert to form six two-person teams representing each country. The celebrities will have only a limited amount of time to learn how to play from the masters. Will they be ready to compete on the big stage, or will they crack under the pressure?

Only two pairings from each country will progress to the second day to battle it out with their European rivals. Who will make it through to wave the banner for their country?

After two intense days of competition on MTG Arena, one country will reign victorious and claim the all-important bragging rights.
