Today marks the 5 year anniversary of one of our favorite projects – the #mtgrules chatroom! #mtgrules was created because we wanted to separate the two roles of the original judge IRC channel #mtgjudge: a place for judges to socialize and discuss policy, and a place for players to ask rules questions.
By our best guess, we’ve answered somewhere around a quarter of a million rules questions for players. This would not have been even remotely possible had it not been for the help of hundreds of awesome volunteers. Today, we’d like to extend a large “Thank You” to each and every one of you who helped make #mtgrules a huge success!
There’s no way to list everyone who’s been a part of #mtgrules, but here is a list of some of our most active contributors:
