Return to Ravnica's pro tour is coming up, so judges are going to be happy to hear this news, Karakas and Noble Hierach are the promotional cards this time around for judges who attend this event, so apparently back in may there was a rumor floating around that judges in the future were going to be getting the foil Karakas which is pretty good, but to have a old bordered Noble Hierach is kind of nice and wizards is thinking about the old school players this time around, which is always nice, speaking of promos.
Next month's Friday Night Magic promo is floating around the inter webs, in which October is going to be giving us a foil Evolving Wilds, not the best of choice of the FNM promos this year, but with the recent reprint in Avacyn Restored, it's nice to finally have a foil one, i guess EDH players will really appreciate this in some form.
So earlier this month we got the Banned and Restricted List announcements for both Commander and the regular formats, but there was something i never talked about in the previous article, which is the new changes made to the rules in favor of some old ones. For you competitve players out there who read this on a monthly basis, there are a few changes being made in terms of "Triggers" and the like for Competitve events.
1. You now need to announce ALL your triggers, regardless of whether they are minor or not, since the past there was a subclass of triggers that had what was known as "No Visual Effect" or minor triggers like on cards such as Goldnight Commander or Kruin Striker
2. You CANNOT forget your triggers, your opponent isn't required to remind you either, if someone misses a trigger and you want it to happen, call a judge provided it's still within the turn, if not the trigger won't occur and it will be a "Missed Trigger"
3. You MUST be present at a event to receive Planeswalker Poiuts, so no more friends signing up for you and you not showing up, from October 1st on you will no longer be able to do that.
4. Video Replays are maybe going to be used for Investigations NOT rulings so no more of these incidents like in the past, aka the Berton Cheaty incident and the like.
5. All updates are going to take place as of the MONDAY after a prerelease, no more erratic dates, all rule changes will be in effect as of the release of a new set.
Whoa, that's a lot of rule changes, considering the amount of stuff needed to be covered for REL type events, this is going to change a lot of player's and how they play the game i bet, but i doubt it, but onto more important stuff, like the awesome events going on in the month of september. In terms of competitive events in the month of september we had quite a few, starting of course with the last of the Magic 2013 events, grant prix Moscow which Luca Casadei dominated the field to take home the crown of GP Moscow champ and Japanese player extreme Shuuei Nakamura took home his 4th GP title in Costa Rica in perhaps the final M13 draft event of the season in terms of physical play. Congrats go to both of them for taking home the crowns of both these events.
Also the players championship happened at the last weekend of the month and Yuuya Watanabe took home the player of the year trophy and 40 grand for his troubles in this star studded event, beating out guys like Jon Finkel and Luis Scott Vargas to take home the player of the year title this year, good job man.
And for those looking forward to the intro packs for RTR well look no further as of this past tuesday wizards went and spoiled the lists for them, so the link will be down below.
