Join us in Zürich for the Backers’ Cup, a special community event celebrating everyone helping build the future of the Unity League.
Created as a thank you to our supporters, the Backers’ Cup combines a unique tournament experience with community, coaching, and a look ahead at what is next for competitive Magic in Europe.
Players will battle through a Chaos Draft Swiss tournament, featuring a mix of products and a fresh draft experience, before the Top 8 moves into a Vintage Cube Draft playoff to crown the champion.
Alongside the main event, qualifying donor-tier supporters will gain access to coaching sessions in small groups with experienced competitive players, offering strategy insights, deckbuilding discussion, and high-level tournament preparation.
