Seth Manfield entered this weekend’s Magic World Championship XXVII as one of the three hall of famers in the 16-player field, adding another World Championship invitation to his lengthy list of accomplishments.

Reigning world champion Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa entered the 2020-21 Magic Pro League season already qualified for the Magic World Championship XXVII. By defeating Marcio Carvalho in the finals in 2020, Damo da Rosa was the first person to earn an invitation to this weekend’s tournament. A stellar MPL season—which saw Damo da Rosa finish second place with a 64.5-percent win rate, according to MTG Data—set an expectation that the hall of famer could win back-to-back World Championships, a feat accomplished only by Shahar Shenhar in 2013 and 2014.

Magic: The Gathering’s latest set, Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, is all about five tribal archetypes that are represented by each of the game’s colors. To complement those tribes, Wizards of the Coast created five common spells that synergize with their color’s respective tribe. The commonality of these cards and the power level that they have tied specifically to humans, spirits, zombies, vampires, and werewolves makes them uniquely positioned to be highly useful in Limited formats.
