Wizards of the Coast has withdrawn its sponsorship of and participation with the VML (Venus and Mercury League), a community of Magic: The Gathering players of marginalized genders.

We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support us with either funding or invites to Organized Play events.

Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for us to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward.
We are sad to announce that we have been told by Wizards that they will no longer support the VML program with either funding or invites to Organized Play events. Without this support - especially the invites - it is impossible for the league to continue, and there will be no more VML seasons going forward. Over the past five years, we’ve radically changed competitive Magic for the better.

The Magic community is a much more diverse, vibrant, and inclusive place than it was five years ago. The gender balance at in-person events has improved significantly, and the overall image of the game has changed for the better. We don’t claim to have caused all of that, but we are happy knowing our efforts have played a part. We want to thank all the organizations who have worked with us and supported the cause: Good Luck High Five, Lodestone Coffee, NRG, Team Arclight, MTG Melee, BOP!, and the many wonderful creators, personalities, and players who have contributed. To everyone who has been a part of the team here: you have all been brilliant, and without your passion and dedication we would not have made it this far. Every single one of you has gone above and beyond, giving your time and effort generously to the program and you should be extremely proud of yourselves. Finally, to our awesome community: we’re sorry that we couldn’t keep this projec…
