If you are aware of any typos in the Magic Tournament Rules, Infraction Procedure Guide, or Judging at Regular REL documents, let me know and I can send them in to get them fixed (I just sent in a list with a bunch of fixes, but maybe you saw something that should get fixed). #mtg

One point the mechanics article glossed over: A resolving spell with paradigm is always exiled. This matters for the second and subsequent card with any given name. Even though that spell isn't setting up any new copies, the card is still exiled. The reminder text is clear, hopefully. #WotCstaff

Matt Tabak @wotcmatt.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

To answer a popular prepare question: While the copy is hanging out in exile waiting to be cast, it’s not a card. It can’t be targeted by Pull from Eternity or “processed” by something like Ruin Processor. #MTGStrixhaven #WotCstaff

In competitive tournament magic, your opponent(s) does not have your best interest at heart. While they can’t lie/bluff about everything, they can lie/bluff about future actions they will take, or even just change their mind. There’s a reason Frankie Peanuts is an un-card

A semi-annual reminder that player statements about DQs/Bannings always leave out key details attempting to generate sympathy. They know the “other side” will not discuss the DQ/ban. Sometimes the spin is slight, other times it is massive. There is always more to the story.
