Wizards of the Coast is happy to announce a new series of events taking place throughout Europe, targeted at Magic: The Gathering Modern players. This series is made up of two events—European Modern Series Qualifiers and European Modern Series Finals.

Qualifiers – WPN stores throughout Europe will be running up to two qualifier events from the end of June to the middle of August. The winner of this event will qualify for the European Modern Series Final event local to that store.

Finals – There will be seven European Modern Series Finals events. These will be multiformat events including both Modern and Modern Horzions Draft. The only way to qualify for one of these events is to win a European Modern Series Qualifier event.

European Modern Series Qualifiers

WPN stores throughout Europe will be running qualifier events. These will either be Modern Horizons Sealed or Modern format, with the option of the Top 8 being run as a Modern Horizons Booster Draft. The winner of this event will qualify for the European Modern Series Final event linked to that store (this is based on the country of the WPN Store). Find out if there is a local store near you running this event by checking the list of qualifiers at the end of this page.

Players may not participate in a European Modern Series Qualifier if they are already qualified for a European Modern Series Final (e.g., a player who has already won a qualifier).
