Wanderer's PDH League - Season 2 Survey

Greetings all! Thank you for being a part of an awesome second season of the Wanderer's League with us. :) We've offered more than $850 in prizes this year through contests and tournaments and we're awarding another $1,900 before the end of the season. $250 of that prize money will be on offer during December's Commander Clash and the rest will be prizing for the league's Invitational Finals in January.

We're committed to making a platform where our community can enjoy ranked games of PDH. In our dedication to meet the PDH community's needs, we're going to announce our plans for Season 3 of the Wanderer's League (taking place from Feb - Dec 2027) so we can get your feedback on it. If you participated in Season 2, we'll also ask you about your experiences this year. Didn't play in Season 2? Tell us what would make you want to join us for the 2027 season!

SEASON 3 ANNOUNCEMENTS

Please remember that all of these announcements are subject to change based on your feedback. If there's something that doesn't sound good or something else you want changed, tell us! We'll do our best to accommodate our community input.

1. Accessibility We want to make it easier for players to register and participate in the league. To that end we are: A) Decreasing the registration price to $5 per Commander B) Enabling league play on EDHPlay Our goal is that, by enabling these changes, players can be inspired by a new commander and within 5 minutes be registered and ready to play that commander on EDHPlay. Tournament fees will be paid separately this year and will still require physical cards played on Convoke.

2. Tournaments Staying on the topic of tournaments, next year we're going to host a full tournament schedule with at least one event per month. There will be two Rulebreak events and two tournaments for PDH adjacent formats. Our feedback from Season 2 was that most people want more normal PDH events. To that end we are hosting 8 PDH events in Season 3! The winner of each of these tournaments will earn a seat in the Season 3 Invitational Finals, which brings us to some changes to the competitive organization of next year: A) The finals will now consist of the top 8 players on the Season 3 Wanderer's League leaderboard, down from 16 in Season 2 and; B) The other 8 invites will be the winners of the 8 online tournaments C) Tournaments will no longer be covered by league registrations and will have their own $25 fee each D) The finals will award prizes to all players who earn their way to the invitational, not just the top 4 finalists In the spirit of wanting to see other event spaces and tournaments flourish, if an online PDH event, like Burn Book Brawl II, is planned for an invitational month, we will not run an event that month and instead offer the invite to the winner of the outside tournament. This will only apply to online tournaments where the Tournament Organizer agrees to be involved.

3. Draws To bring league practices in alignment with our tournament policies, draws will be equal to losses in Season 3, meaning all four players will lose ELO instead of maintaining the same ELO. This change will only be implemented in the Wanderer's League and will not be applied to the Meta ELO on cPDH.guide.
