@SaffronOlive If I were working for WOTC I’d pitch it as diversification of revenue streams. Each format/player base is essentially a base to monetize and eternal players/constructed players feel like they have room for growth. Ok I’ll take off my soulless corporate hat off now.

Wizards needs to view organized play as a long term investment in the game. Yes, Commander is king at the moment, but who knows what the game will look like in 5 or 10 years? Who would have predicted Commander's rise 15 years ago? More support for 1v1 competitive play seems like a great hedge against an unknown future.

BCDL Legacy Open 5 weekend details go live Mon 5/18 11 am EST. Sign ups for Sat 8/22 & Sun 8/23 begin Wed 5/20 at 8 pm EST through TopDeck. I don’t like announcing announcements but I’m giving people time to prepare. I expect spots to go quick as a lot of people are skipping EW.

@RealPokemoki So glad I went to that GP. Man we had it so good back then.

A different era...

Legacy and Premodern CoMain Evenr. Definitely check it out! Happening 9/25-9/27. Give @ExcaliburMTG a follow to stay tuned for their upcoming events.

@dwpoker @IamActuallyLvL1 They’d just use that as a justification to never run the event again and vendors/independent organizers would need to band together to do it in the future. C-Suite HASBRO would probably prefer that as EW is likely a loss leader for WOTC.

@BcdLegacy @IamActuallyLvL1 Would be amazing if players just boycotted and less than 100 people showed up and they lost their ass. Bet they wouldn’t do this shit again…

To be fair having Eternal Weekend on Halloween in those years was a shit idea then and it’s still a shit idea now but WOTC doesn’t plan on changing the date. Making terrible decisions in the past doesn’t mean we have to keep making them.

Save the date: New England Premodern Summer Regional with a cap of 128 players will be July 11th, 2026 at 11 AM EST Prizing and registration details coming Soon ™️

If you haven’t watched already I was on the latest Eternal Witnesses podcast with Michael Mapson. We talked Legacy and Vintage meta games, Eternal Weekend, and I spoil some details on the BCDL Open happening 8/22 and 8/23 in Columbus Ohio. Check it out. youtu.be/g7YczAyRxvU

@KentaroHokori They should schedule a Legacy spotlight series on Easter (just like the old days) so we can make Risen/Dead Format jokes all weekend long.

@BcdLegacy They tend to schedule legacy premier events around the holiday like they have some sort of grudge against legacy…. They have history of running legacy GP around holidays as well….

@EvaliaVae They provide support for the event in various forms and contract with TOs like Card Titan and Pastimes to run it.

@BcdLegacy Does wizards host the event? No? okay they cna kick rocks.

Update on CE/IE and gold border cards for Old School and premodern. TLDR it’s WOTC’s call and Pastimes is talking to them about it. Pastimes also doesn’t know how or why Card Titan was exempt from WOTC requirement on this in prior years. More to come.

@siziyman @RoundCorners40 EDH represents a significant revenue stream whereas Old School and Premodern just never will come close.

@BcdLegacy @RoundCorners40 And i'm not talking about what i want to be true, just precedent and expectations.

@DougesOnTwitch Nick Coss who owns CT posted about it. Basically they submitted a bid and Pastimes (who did as well) was chosen. I don’t want to speak for Nick though. I do know some prior years nobody other than CT submitted a bid so 🤷🏻‍♂️

@BcdLegacy I've always associated Eternal Weekend with Card Titan Has there been any details on why they didn't get it this year?

@siziyman @RoundCorners40 The community is not asking for anything beyond past precedent here which I think is important. I’m the largest proxy TO and would never expect gold border/CE/proxy for Legacy and Vintage main events. We all know that 100% will not likely ever happen.

@siziyman @RoundCorners40 This is what it’s been for years, no proxies/gold border for Vintage & Legacy mains. We all expect and accept that. OS/Premodern were the exception since they were community formats and allowed those cards. I think allowing their use in those formats only is a good middle ground.

@RoundCorners40 Now it’s basically anything run through Companion and counted for WOTC’s metrics

@BcdLegacy Does sanctioning even mean anything anymore without DCI?

@ironlungsmtg @DuressCrew @pastimesonline Can’t say I didn’t try in a public forum.

@BcdLegacy @DuressCrew @pastimesonline Given they haven’t posted on main since ‘24 I think you’re unlikely to get a response. Awful policy though.

@pastimesonline this looks like any organized play including Premodern and Old School at EW will not allow Gold Border/World Champ/IE &CE cards. Past precedent has allowed them for Premodern and Old school. Can you confirm whether those cards will be allowed for those formats?

If you’re near Columbus and looking for Premodern then save the date

@BoshNRoll This is where you go “brb and grab a recent set from your sealed closet”

Friend’s birthday party today. I arrived with the promise of drafts. It’s Unfinity best of 1, play against the whole pod to get 7 wins. 💀 🔫

@osuriotto @pastimesonline In the past Card Titan has allowed gold border cards for Premodern and Old School events. I’m trying to confirm whether that’s still the case for this year or a change from prior years.

@BcdLegacy @pastimesonline EW has never been proxy friendly
