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... Section 1.4, on who can play; the line about "will have its K value set to 8" has been removed. 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

OMG Zendikar Reserved List Inserts - Priceless Treasures - Biggest Magic News in a Decade

I got a call this morning from the Mainland and it started as "did you hear what Wizards inserted into Zendikar?"

"Reports are coming in from all over," the person retorted. Zendikar is going to be crazy. Here are some of the cards that have been pulled across the world (from those guys that busted the pre-release product which they weren't supposed t… Continue
