Hello, everyone, and welcome to episode 504 of the MTG Old Fish podcast.

I'm Seth, probably better know to Safraud Olive, and we have the full crew here this week.

Kicking things off with the owner of MTGO O Fish.

Richard, how were you this fine Monday, Richard?

Good morning, Seth.

I was excited to talk about boring things like new set release.

But Wizards with the last minute, literally one minute before we started recording announcement.

I'm excited.

Yeah, somehow last week was like wild with the Commander Band announcements.

And I feel like this week is even more impactful somehow, which is kind of insane.

But we'll get to that in a minute. We got another ghost in Crim. Good morning, Crim. How are you today?

Pretty good. Currently just sitting in a one hour long wait time for the secret layer.

Oh, yes, it's secret layer day.

Are you going to get the hatchet, crim?

Did you see the hatchet secret layer drop, which is apparently a joke?

If I somehow miraculously got shipped a hatchet, yes, I would love that. But unlikely that that is for sale. Oh, yeah. So secret layers going up, but that's not the big topic for today. We're actually trying to figure out what to talk about. We got Dussmore, a new set release. We got Bannings and Modern a month ago. What's the format looking like? But then just a minute ago, like literally a couple minutes ago as we're recording this, Wizards posted a huge announcement, an article titled on the future of Commander, which kind of references what's happened in the last week since the bannings and announced a huge, huge change for the format.

But before we get into that, we got a sponsor today.

article. What's it say? Give us a TLDR of this article. All right. And I quote, we are announcing that the rules committee is giving management of the commander format to the game design team of Wizards of the Coast, end quote.
