I’m not saying Booster Packs are printed by Wizard to be drafted only. I’m saying we as consumers should treat them as for draft only. The TCC adage? Buy Singles? That was my point.

It’s hard to say Booster packs are for draft when things like this exist. But BOOSTER PACKS ARE FOR DRAFT!

Handling God Packs at Your Events #mtg
Handling God Packs at Your Events

Opening a God Pack can create an unforgettable moment for players and collectors, but it also presents a special circumstance during a Limited format event.

If a player opens a God Pack, they should stop and call for a judge or tournament organizer. Checking in immediately helps prevent confusion, regardless of how you decide to proceed.

You have discretion over whether the God Pack remains in the event. For any event intended to feel competitive, however, we strongly recommend the following:

    Celebrate the moment! Call attention to the rare find and share the excitement with your community.
    Remove the God Pack from the event. Let the player who opened it keep it for their collection.
    Replace it at no charge. Give the player an unopened Booster Pack from the same set so they can continue playing.
Removing and replacing the God Pack preserves a fair play experience while giving the player a memorable collectible. This approach also matches how God Packs are handled at competitive events where Wizards of the Coast provides the product, such as Regional Championships and the Pro Tour. At those events, God Packs must be removed and replaced.

For casual events, you may choose to leave the God Pack in the draft or sealed pool. This could work well at a Prerelease that uses Player List Only pairings, for example. In most cases, though, we recommend removing and replacing the God Pack.

Not been steered wrong by this so far and it seems relevant again as a bunch of biologists push back against Anthropic's announcement of "ground breaking" LLM research
The safe attitude to any groundbreaking announcement from OpenAI and Anthropic is to think "how are these lying fraudsters trying to defraud us?" And then usually within 12 hours the fraud usually revealed

yeah that's cool you have a website and a league and a stream and promo cards. do your weeklies run on time? is there a judge? are you building a relationship with your lgs? are the players respectful? do lgbt+ and bipoc players feel welcome? have you been doing all that for at least a year?

This week, PlayStation announced that it had pulled out of publishing Hideo Kojima's next game, Physint. But the company didn't give a reason. So I made some calls. Here's why PlayStation bailed and why Xbox snapped Kojima right up: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I wasn’t playing Pauper back when Astrolabe was legal, but my understanding was that it was enabling a bunch of 4c piles. So far I’ve only seen Giants Boulder in Tron decks. Does this mean Astrolabe is safe to unban?

9/1 #scryfallrandom is my favorite kind of commander design- it gives you a reward, and a prompt on how to get the reward, but expects you to figure out the means of making it happen on your own. This leads to creativity and deck diversity and interesting build options that don't follow a set track.
