Happy Tuesday MTG peeps,
We think its time again to pull into our daily MTG Realm posts, a selection of our odds 'n' ends from our sister site, MTG Realm on Tumblr, which happens to have a fairly healthy gaming community and quite a lot of Magic: the Gathering fans. In other news, we are planning some purchases right now before the Christmas rush at MTG Mint Card which is running a pretty sweet Thanksgiving / Black Friday sale. Anywhoos - Let's go . . .

RUMOUR ONLY !
“Starting in Jan 2013, the Modern format will be available for Friday Night Magic!”
Again - this is a rumour only. Modern will become legal for sanctioning as a format for FNM starting in January 2013. According to forum member ‘Slavan K. Guiser he information came through on their WPN newsletter for this week.
EDIT - Confirmed to me by the Director of Organized Play at Wizards of the Coast.
