Wizards of the Coast sent a very polite email saying they consider our use of NFTs, as described in the mtgDAO whitepaper, to be unlawful IP infringement. They hint at their own NFT plans and ask that we don’t launch mtgDAO. Here’s why WotC is ngmi.

Our vision for mtgDAO is similar to a local game store. Here we would host tournaments, fund writers, and sponsor players. A DAO is the primary community building tool of web3. To forbid a Magic DAO is to forbid any authentic presence in web3. Ngmi.

@BrydonRobert I did not know that. Do you have more info about that?

@mtgDAO @BrydonRobert Using any Wizards IP to promote your business, such as even using the name MTG in your MTG tournaments, requires permission.
