Eldritch Moon Mythic Wrappers

If you open a booster of Eldritch Moon and find a Mythic Rare in the rare slot (not a double-faced mythic) note what was on the wrapper. Apparently the remaining mythic rares will be wrapped with that same artwork on that wrapper. From what was just posted locally, some shops know about it and open until they find a mythic then separate out the like artwork boosters. This prevents the public from finding Planeswalkers in their boosters! This prevents the public from finding Emrakul, The Promised End! They put the remaining boosters back in the box to sell, knowing the rare slot won't contain a mythic. This does not affect DFC mythics, or Foil Mythics, from what I've heard. Check your local shop to see if all artwork of a specific type is missing from an opened box, or, request any boosters for a draft come from a new and unopened box with each player receiving three DIFFERENT labeled packs to keep one player from getting a couple mythics in their deck! Spread the word about this, if you can!

Adding A Commander Player

At my local card shop people get in at different times, and so for casual MTG it’s hard to find someone at the exact time they want to play when they could already be in a game.

If it uses all positive effects, it should be pretty fair. Three turns effectively recovers from a board wipe, and a player could “buy in” and be given three turns to themselves before they get placed at the end of the player rotation. To make up for this, as soon as this player enters the game (after their three uninterrupted turns) a “Confluence” effect is given to the remaining players at the beginning of their main phase. A choose three effect, where you can choose the same one more than once.

● Gain 5 Life. ● Scry 2. ● Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. ● Draw a card, then discard a card. ● Place any one card from your graveyard into your library, third from the top.

And I think this resets for the new player while still being fun. Make a rule that a returning player cannot play the same deck twice, maybe.

I am looking for criticism and suggestions. Feel free to reblog this to boost the possibility of this being a good house/casual rule. This needs testing.
