Mythic Points
Mythic Points is an award system for Magic: The Gathering professional play, introduced in 2019.[1] Replacing the Pro Points system, it was at first designed to connect competitive gaming across MTG Arena and Magic tabletop. However, this lead to a quandary in that well-performing players on the paper Mythic Championships could not be a discretionary invite to the Arena Mythic Championships, or else they would get a significant and unfair lead into the MPL and Worlds race, as the 0-4 payout from Arena was equivalent to a 10-6 payout from paper.
For 2020. the tracks for player ranking points for MTG Arena play and tabletop play were separated, with the MPL tracking rankings combining the two.[2] For MTG Arena play, Mythic Points were kept. For tabletop Player Points were introduced.
