Pascal Maynard

After #Goyfgate Maynard continued in competitive Magic: The Gathering, winning his next Grand Prix in Buenos Aires on June 28, 2015. He came in 7th at MTG Pro Tour Gatewatch in Atlanta in February 2016, and was a finalist at MTG Pro Tour Ixalan in Albuquerque in November 2017, coming in second to Seth Manfield. By that time, he had 13 Grand Prix Top 8s, with two wins.

In January 2019, in response to the decline in Quebec game shops hosting card tournaments, Maynard co-founded an esports sports league called Arena Super Cup, allowing people to compete from their homes using Magic: The Gathering Arena. It drew 300 participants during its first six months.

Game store

Maynard honed his early Magic: The Gathering skills as a pre-teen at Le Donjon, or the Librairie Donjon, a Saint-Roch, Quebec City games store where he would later work for several years as a teenager and young adult. It was the last store of its kind in the city center. Maynard had met the owner of the Bastion when both played at Le Donjon together. At the time the store opened, the COVID-19 pandemic restricted face to face gaming, so the store offered online tournaments as "The Mythic Society". By 2023, the store was holding daily in person gaming events, and even expanded into a neighboring warehouse, quadrupling its storage space.
