Wizards decided to hold off on announcing the formats for the previously announced 2012 Grand Prixes, leaving players to wonder what would become of the events and what formats would see play. In Brian David-Marshall's article today they reveal the formats for the currently announced 2012 Grand Prixes, taking us through March of next year.
| City | Country | Dates | Format |
| Austin | USA | January 7-8 | Sealed/Booster Draft (Innistrad) |
| Orlando | USA | January 14-15 | Standard |
| Kobe | Japan | February 18-19 | Sealed/Booster Draft (Innistrad-Dark Ascension) |
| Lincoln | USA | February 18-19 | Modern |
| Madrid | Spain | February 25-26 | Sealed/Booster Draft (Innistrad-Dark Ascension) |
| Baltimore | USA | February 25-26 | Standard |
| Lille | France | March 3-4 | Standard |
| Seattle | USA | March 3-4 | Sealed/Booster Draft (Innistrad-Dark Ascension) |
| Indianapolis | USA | March 10-11 | Legacy |

Assuming they keep the same distribution for the year, this schedule suggests we're looking at roughly:
Sealed / Limited Booster Draft - 7 events suggests 25-30 for the year
Standard - 5 events suggests 17-22 for the year
Modern - 2 events suggests 6-10 for the year
Legacy - 1 event suggests 3-5 for the year
