The Planeswalker Championship (PWCS) was a Japan-only official Magic: The Gathering player program at WPN stores that was initiated in Autumn, 2019. The format is Standard or Limited.[1]
The PWCS provided special promo cards to its participants.
From April 2023, a new series of Standard tournaments was started with a more casual take. This was called the Planeswalker Friendly Match (PWFM).[2]
