Grow Your Brand with MTGSL

The premier platform for reaching highly engaged Magic: The Gathering players and communities.

Welcome to the MTG Super League! We're thrilled that you're considering advertising with us. Whether you're promoting a massive upcoming tournament, a new line of TCG accessories, or your own store's online inventory, we have the perfect placement to get your message in front of the right eyes.

📍 Ad Placement Locations

We integrate advertisements naturally into the MTGSL user experience. You can place your ads in three key areas:

  • Header Placements: Premium, above-the-fold visibility. These are the first things users see when they load a page.
  • Event Placements: Your ad sits within the event cards, showing a distinct card view.
  • Sidebar Placements: Highly visible standard placements that follow users as they scroll through league standings, event details, and community hubs.
  • Footer Placements: Great for reinforcement and catching users after they've engaged with the page content.
Note: Ads rotate dynamically with a smooth fade transition every 20 seconds, meaning your ad will always feel fresh. Our premium organizers and store accounts enjoy an ad-free experience, so your audience here is primarily the everyday, highly engaged player base!

📏 Ad Formats & Sizing Guide

We offer six distinct ad formats to fit your campaign's creative needs.

The Wide Card (1200 x 160)

Best for: Header and footer placements. High-impact hero placements.

Marketing Tip: The primary banner ad highlighting the most attention.

The Skyscraper (160 x 600)

Best for: Sidebar placements on desktop.

Marketing Tip: This format stays on screen longer as users scroll. Use eye-catching vertical imagery and place your CTA near the top.

The Medium Rectangle (300 x 250)

Best for: Sidebar placements.

Marketing Tip: The most popular size on the web. It's perfectly proportioned for a clean product image, a short description, and a CTA.

The Dashboard Card (4:3 Ratio)

Best for: Sidebar and native-feeling content integration.

Marketing Tip: Make it look like a piece of valuable content or an upcoming event card so users naturally click it. (Scales to max 400px wide).

💡 Best Practices for High-Converting Ads

As someone who has seen thousands of campaigns succeed (and a few flop!), here are my top three tips for ensuring your MTGSL campaign drives massive ROI:

  1. Speak the Language Our audience breathes MTG. Use terminology that resonates with them. Instead of "Buy our boxes," try "Crack more value." Instead of "Join our event," try "Battle for the Mox."
  2. Contrast is King Make sure your ad stands out from our interface. MTGSL uses clean, modern UI (and a sleek dark mode!). Use vibrant, high-contrast colors so your ad pops off the page.
  3. Always Include a Clear CTA Never assume the user knows what to do. Use explicit action phrases: Shop Now, Register Today, View Singles, or Claim Your Discount. Make the CTA look like a physical button inside your image.
