I am especially excited for the part that says the rules will be tightened on MTGO. Hopefully this includes two player support. I bought my wife an account and the two precons with the intent of playing two-player with her and $70 later found out this wasn't possible. My fault for not looking into it and making assumptions, but here's to hoping for this in the future.

:P so it looks like its now offically sanctioned on paper and online, though run by the EDH group that started it in the first place? i really don't know anyone mind clarifying that?

I'm not wild about the prospect of new cards that can only be obtained by dropping $35 on a precon deck.
I'll try to keep an open mind -- it's possible they'll prove me wrong. But it seems like all of WotC's efforts lately (e.g., this, canceling the MPR, and the ridiculous costs of mythic rares) make me increasingly disinclined to play any kind of Magic that Wizards sponsors.

EDH's popularity here is only beaten by Standard and Limited. I'm glad to see it get some product support from the mothership. I'm also glad it is not DCI sanctioned. I think the format needs to stay casual. Making it DCI sanctioned, makes scores matter and than the casual nature of the format goes out the door. I think the team made good decisions here.

No love for Brazilian and Portuguese EDH players, I guess. :/

I'm very, very leery of new cards in these decks. I don't mind the name change and support the rest wholeheartedly, but new cards in the decks, especially new generals, make me nervous. These cards will no doubt be designed to be awesomely fun generals, so people are going to want to play them, but being released only in this product means that their supply will be incredibly limited compared to normal generals and normal cards. I'm not looking forward to seeing the singles prices.
And so people say to me, "How do I know if a word is real?" You know, anyone who's read a children's book knows that love makes things real. If you love a word, use it! That makes it real. Being in the dictionary is an artificial distinction; it doesn't make the word any more real than any other word. If you love a word, it becomes real.

this is so dumb.. I'd prolly never buy one of these decks.. I'd rather spend MORE money making my own, thats what EDH is about.. finding your own combos and cards that fit in the deck.. EDH is supposed to be about a deck builders own creativity, now that is shot down when anyone can just buy a deck.
Good job MTG way to go -sarcasm-

Waitwaitwait. Are they telling me there will be ten new legendary creatures printed for the "wedge" color combinations?
I must be dead, because I've wanted this forever.
EDIT: Also, that guy in the art at the bottom...possibly one of the RBW guys? Looks really awesome. BAH I CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE INFO.

I don't actually like EDH. Doesn't mean I don't have fun playing it.
But I will gladly thank you for a decent RBW general that isn't Oros. (Not that I don't like Oros.)
