==Professional play==
In December 2018, it was announced that Sato would be one of the 32 players joining the upcoming 2019 Magic Pro League. Sato was arguably one of the least-known players in the league; unlike any of the other competitors, he had never finished in the top eight of a Pro Tour or competed at a post-2012 World Championship. He qualified mostly on the back of strong Grand Prix finishes; his accomplishments include two wins in five total top eights.
Because he finished in the Top 20 in the 2019 Magic Pro League, he could continue in the 2020 Season. He would be one of six players who persisted through the four seasons of the MPL, qualifying for the 2021 World Championship.

==Controversy==
*Sato was disqualified from Grand Prix Prague 2019. In a statement the following week, Wizards of the Coast explained that while they did not think his actions were premeditated or deceptive, due to MPL members being held to a higher standard, Sato's invitation to the Mythic Invitational event at PAX East was revoked.
