Has anyone heard of WOTC will be bring a magic presence back to PAX? They haven't been there in the last couple of years but they showed up for Boston.

    Last year, WOTC had Magic The Gathering events at Mox Boarding House during PAX West.

    No word yet about this year so far.

    It's possible. WotC leaving PAX West coincided with the first HASCON (which was right after PAX in addition to being run by WotC's parent company, Hasbro). But there wasn't one in 2018, and the 2019 got "postponed" way back in December. So I'm hopeful WotC will put on a bigger show.

    Cascade games usually hosts the mtg tourneys for wotc and there site shows they are hosting tourneys for this pax. And just fyi the tourneys at mox boarding house were just tournaments and werent put on by wotc. They are always running them

    It's true! WOTC was running their events at Mox last year, which was sort of unfortunate. Love Mox, but travelling out there for Magic during PAX wasn't going to happen. I really hope WOTC/Cascade are doing stuff on site this year.

    I think i read it right But they say they are putting them on with mox which doesnt mean much since they can say that about any sanctioned tourney. From what i saw of the schedule at mox they did not do anything more than what they usually do except they added a draft that wasnt scheduled if there were enough players nor did they give away any extra prizes than the normal credit

    I do wanna hit Mox this year, but taking an uber to and fro for magic events prolly wont happen. I really miss when magic took over the annex or the paramount. Those were the great years of PAX i feel like since they stopped showing up, i have usually done everything by mid afternoon on S
    unday.

    WOTC, Mox, Cascade, Card Kingdom are not listed as exhibitors. Does that mean there will be NO magic?

    There is a whole floor dedicated to Magic in the Regency with events going on the whole weekend.

    Cascade Games is not the vendor this year, which I'm actually happy about. My experience with them hasn't been the best.
