## Creation Method Now Required On Title Setup

As of today, when you set up a title, you will be required to choose a creation method.

Either "Human-Created Without AI" or "Contains AI-Generated Content" must be selected to create a new product listing or update an existing product, or you will see an error message when you submit. (Screenshot attached) 

This will take quite the load off our team member who is in charge of approvals as well as make customer experience smoother. We appreciate everyone who added their voice to the chorus on this and your patience while Tech got this setup.

I wish these planets came in untapped originally for colorless and gave colored mana after station 3 or something. There’s just so much working against the playability of these even though they’re so cool . 😭

Shout-out to all the teachers out there enjoying a well-earned summer rest. Here's a free #dnd5e subclass for you all.
College of Education
Student-Centered Learning
You are trained to set up situations where students can teach and learn from one another. 
Starting at 3rd level, a creature you have given a Bardic Inspiration die to can use their reaction to give that die to a creature within 60 feet of it that is making an attack roll, contested ability check, or saving throw. A creature that does so gains a Tutelage die—which is always a d4. It lasts 10 minutes and uses all the same rules as your Bardic Inspiration die, except it can only be spent on the type of roll that the gifted die was used for.
Critical Reflection
One of the most important tenets of the College of Education is having the humility to look back on the past to do better in the future. 
Starting at 3rd level, when you cast a spell using a spell slot that requires a single creature to make a saving throw and that creature succeeds on the saving throw, you can use a reaction to reflect on the situation and learn from it. If you do, you can expend one use of Bardic Inspiration to regain the expended spell slot. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.
Addressing Misconceptions
Your students often come ready to learn with misconceptions about the world around them, often inspired by fear, misleading information, or common misunderstandings. 
Starting at 6th level, you have been trained to adapt to help unravel and get to the root of ideas that drive misconceptions. As a reaction to a spell or effect causing the frightened or charmed condition on a creature within 30 feet, you may expend one use of Bardic Inspiration to begin using your Countercharm feature. 
Culturally Responsive Teaching
You have discovered that the best way to learn is through lived experiences with people from different backgrounds than your own. 
Starting at 6th level, you can use Charisma instead of Intelligence for ability checks using the History and Nature skills.

I think Voltron decks already cause some salt because you need to focus fire on one player at a time, and a Voltron deck that steals stuff and has access to counter magic is going to have a high sodium warning.
