Cycle Nine ‒ 16 November 2024 to 23 March 2o25

ANZ Cycle Nine is here! The ANZ Magic Super Series is a program for Magic The Gathering for the Australian and New Zealand region. Each year is a Season made up of three Cycles with Store Qualifiers that any WPN Location in Australia or New Zealand can register and be a part of. Players can enter as many Store Qualifiers as they wish and the winner of each Store Qualifier will then qualify for that Cycle’s Super Series Final. Top Finishers in each Super Series Final will win invites to the Pro Tour and cash prizes.

Each registered store will be able to run two Store Qualifiers and must be run within the date window provided and will have its own entry fees and prizes (set by each store.) The winner of a Store Qualifier will then qualify for the Super Series Final for that season. Some stores may combine their allotment of Qualifiers to make bigger events, so check with your store for details.

WPN Premium Stores will be able to run four Store Qualifiers within the date window and each event will qualify the winner and the runner up for the Super Series Final.

Players can also continue to play in Store Qualifiers after they have already qualified and should they qualify again, that qualification will pass down to the next ranked player in that event.
