With the return of Impulse - originally from 1997's Visions - in #MTGDominaria , enjoy one of the most storied and imitated MTG humor posts of all time: "IMPULSE LIKE A PRO" Let's just say tournament judging has improved dramatically since the 90s.

@Stanley_2099 I played Nicole 1-2 rounds later and this matches the version of events she shared with me. I don't even get the ruling. It's not like the OP and Nicole agreed Nicole WINS if her top card is a land. The consequence of issuing no penalty is zero harm done. So why penalize here?

In the 2000s, Pro Tours were accompanied by even more selective 32-player single-elimination events called Masters Series. As great as Kai was on PT Sundays, he had never won the first round of a Masters. At PT New Orleans 2001, his round 1 Masters opponent was a first-timer: me.

If you're running a RCQ during the first *four* weekends of the upcoming season before possible bans (8/3 through 8/25): Now would be a GREAT time to switch your event's format to Sealed/Draft. Players are palpably excited about #MTGBloomburrow

@SaffronOlive This comparison greatly understates the cost of Modern. Once your $460 deck was built, you could stay competitive over time with minor upgrades. Now every 1-2 years you need a mostly new $929 deck.

While many knew Sheldon Menery for Commander, I most associated him with head judging PTQs, Regionals and higher during my 2000s judge arc. Remarkable to go from enforcement in competitive to one of the most prominent faces of casual. May his memory be a blessing.

@SaffronOlive Planeswalkers Overnight, Wizards decided cards that historically activated for 3-5 mana (Centaur Glade, Jayemdae Tome, Disrupting Scepter) can activate for 0 as long as they can be attacked, which many decks don't even do. That's a Time Walk/Ancestral level mana discount.
