With the controversy of the Commander Rules Commitee with their recent bans it's important to note that Wizards of the Coast will be taking over the role of Rules Commitee going forward as per their post on X (formerly twitter) as shown here: [Commander Rules Commitee Resigns]

With this update we will be looking to Wizards of the Coast for further information on the bans that just happened as well as going forward with bans. If updates are made to the ban list prior to the event we will do our best to inform everyone in this event so they can be the most up to date with their decks.
