This isn't what I wanted to happen for Commander, but it's what's necessary at this point. When you can't make difficult decisions without worrying about your safety and well-being, you can't run a format, especially one with a nontraditional point of view. (1/4)
My deepest thanks to everyone - my fellow RC members, the CAG, the folks on Discord and all the players who've found resonance in what we've tried to do over the years - for coming along with us on this crazy journey. (3/4)
New IPG and MTR for Duskmourn! Some small but sweet updates to Missed Triggers, Decklist Errors, and one of the GRV partial fixes.

I'm not going to comment on the exact facts of the IDW case over the weekend. I wasn't there.
If the player couldn't take any action and was just shortcutting to the next draw, then I might treat is as such, even if a strict reading of IDW could also be supported.
But... 1/2
Consider how quickly it goes downhill. What if they were able to take some actions, look at the card and decide not to concede? That's really problematic all around at that point, and not a situation we want folks to find themselves in. 2/3 (oops)
Wizards is being surprisingly quiet about this, but depending on how you consider Aftermath, either MKM or OTJ is the 100th standard-legal expansion set. That seemed to demand a Commander Commander deck and I threw together archidekt.com/decks/7412501/…
It's very silly.
Very happy with how this turned out.
Our quarterly update is live. No changes to rules or banned list.
We've released an important update of the philosophy page, clarifying the RC's vision for the format. No change of direction, but a better explanation of what we're trying to accomplish.

New MTR and IPG posted! Nothing too radical; mostly wording tweaks to be clearer and a bit of new policy around open decklists. Summary and explanation of the changes at blogs.magicjudges.org/tellio…
Spent quite a bit of time putting together a large @StarCityGames order. At 250 cards, it informed me I couldn't add any more to my cart. OK, I check out with that. I try to submit the order. 1/x
Happy news: 249 checkboxes manually selected later, the order went through. So the fixes for all this pain are pretty easy, but there's a lot of cleanup to do.
