Commander RC Clarifies MTG Card Sale Accusations Amid Banlist Changes
Commander RC Addresses MTG Card Sale Allegations
After adding several expensive MTG cards to the Commander banlist, the Commander Rules Committee states that none of its members sold their copies before announcing the ban. The RC has a zero-tolerance policy for abusing knowledge of pending or potential changes. Following the Committee's addition of highly sought cards like Dockside Extortionist, Mana Crypt, and Jeweled Lotus to the banlist, market prices collapsed, inciting player frustration online.
Transparency and Future Practices
The RC's FAQ states, “there's no way to prove” that its members haven’t engaged in sales before the ban announcement without evidence. Moving forward, they aim for better community awareness before imposing bans, although keeping casual players in mind to avoid opportunistic practices.
