Fair. Compassionate. Kind. Angela Chandler exemplified what it means to be a Magic Judge. She will be dearly missed. Please contribute towards her family's medical costs, funeral costs, and a trust fund for her children: gofundme.com/f/mercuryangel3 Thank you for everything, Angie.
Today is a sad day for the MTG Community. judgeacademy.com/angela-chan…

Just to head off many of these kinds of questions - there will be rules and policy updates to support all the new Ikoria cards and mechanics. We won't be answering these questions until we have those.

@MagicJudges How would mistakes to companion deckbuilding requirements be addressed? Game loss for illegal deck? Save the game state as much as possible? #mtgiko

(Dan) The toughest situation to solve in the Command Zone at #MTGLyon so far? Helping players resolve a Living Death for 26 creatures with Confusion in the Ranks on the board is certainly up there.

(Dan) This the correct answer to our rather counter-intuitive Exploit scenario from earlier.

(Dan) Hello from the Command Zone at #MTGLyon where we had this situation: Ajani plays Sidisi, Undead Vizier and puts the Exploit ability on the stack. In response, Nylea gains control of Sidisi. Can Ajani still sacrifice a creature for exploit and if so, what happens if they do?

(DL-S) To round out my #MTGBrussels, I am spending today organising the judges for all scheduled side events. It involves a lot of spreadsheets and a lot of active thinking!

(DL-S) Many correct answers to last night's #PTBrussels question, but this was my favourite as it's also a flavour explanation. Tokens are created with the same name as their creature type, but this isn't maintained.

The Fish is not as handsome as the Reflection so Alirios is over it.

(Dan) Correct! This is one of the replies that got our Torbran scenario from yesterday at #MTGBrussels right! x.com/MagicJudges/status/122…

(DL-S) We are finished for the day at #PTBrussels but I have to leave you with the ruling highlight of the debrief: How does putting an Icthyomorphosis on the Reflection token affect the token and Alirios?

(Dan) Hello from the GP at #MTGBrussels where we also play Pioneer and this situation came up: Ashiok controls Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and attacks with a 3-power red creature. Nissa blocks with a 3/3 and a 2/2. How many blockers will die during combat and why?

(DL-S) We are back in action at #PTBrussels! My day started with calling the draft and now I am running the feature match area. Players have a lot on the line so we're doing our best to make their day smooth and stress free.

(DL-S) We are ready for Pioneer here at #PTBrussels! We have a wide selection of format appropriate tokens on hand and, if all else fails, a label printer to make our own.

(DL-S) Thanks and good night from your Day 1 #PTBrussels judge team!

(DL-S) Correct answer on Shepherd / Demigods here with a bonus rules citation. Effects that don't copy P/T also don't copy characteristic defining abilities that set them #PTBrussels

(DL-S) Another #MTGTheros question for you: How does Nightmare Shepherd interact with the variable stat Demigods such as Tymaret? #PTBrussels

(DL-S) This is correct! Cards are always in exactly one game zone, and nothing in Atris's ability changes the location of the cards #PTBrussels

(DL-S) A quick #MTGTheros question to start: Does Atris's ability trigger Devourer of Memory? #PTBrussels

(DL-S) First task for me at #PTBrussels is calling the feature draft. Keeping the feature match area neat and wires / cameras unperturbed is balanced against clear and smooth draft calling!

(DL-S) And I will be sharing some #PTBrussels questions and situations here! Starting at the judge briefing: We are discussing the implications of the multi format event, the early decklist submission, and the open decklists format.
I will be in the feature match area all today and tomorrow, judging some top flight #MTGTheros draft and brand new Pioneer! Super excited! #PTBrussels
