The entrance into the 2019 MTG Dogs field starts here.
What is MTG Dogs?
Akin to the Running of the Gnomes by World of Warcraft players, the MTG Dog competition is a community driven initiative. This is the third year it has occurred, with an ever widening field, likely to hit 64 competitors this year.
The idea is very simple: Magic players like their dogs, love polls, and everyone loves a fun tie-in to NCAA basketball's March Madness.
Every day, community members of the Magic: The Gathering community vote on two dogs, slowly whittling down competitors to two final dogs. In the first two years, a former Magic professional Brian Kibler's dog Shiro won and the second year had a perfect 50/50% tie for Toblerone and the Luft family's pet Shadow:
