Rulings Round-Up October 17th, 2009 Coming out of SHONEN JUMP Championship Orlando, there were a few rulings and card interactions that came up repeatedly.

MTG Magic the Gathering Changes/Clarifications and John Carter Leaves as Judge Coordinator

Changes/Clarifications: If a TO/judge plays in an event he/she is an official for (and allowed to play in under the Oct. 1 change), then...

It still states "If tournament officials and other staff play in the event, it must be run at Regular REL" - that much still applies. If your event is a 16K event and one of those you are allowed to play in and you do so, it will not be reduced to 8K. When regis… Continue
