@DraconDebates commander is a 4 player social deduction game that uses magic's game pieces and ruleset. you get to solve puzzles like "will I be socially ostracized if I cast this counterspell" instead of "trying to play magic well"

Hear someone say blatantly transphobic stuff at a Magic event? Maybe a homophobic slur? If you're a bystander, call a judge! Hate speech is the fastest way to get ejected from an event, and the target might not feel comfortable calling a judge about it.

Hey, @wizards_magic , if you're going to put a lot of effort into representation and diversity and what not, you really need to step up the moderation of your Twitch chat. You should probably stop the troglodytes from rolling out the misogyny whenever a woman is on camera.
