During preview seasons Wizards usually reveals preview cards to various third party Magic affiliates like the Manasource or MtgGoldfish. Is there a particular process for choosing the card these affiliates get to reveal?

We have a meeting where we decide how all the preview cards will be previewed and by whom.

Why is it usually opted for some permanents to "Tap, sacrifice this permanent" instead of just sacrifice? Does tapping it actually do anything overall?

For creatures, it delays their use. In general, it makes it cleaner to recognize when it can be used as players often conceptualize tapped permanents as something that's already been used.

Does R/B not being able to deal with enchantments not hurt it as color considerably? Other colors can deal with most nonland permanent types (albeit unideally like green and fight or blue and bounce) but R/B cannot touch enchantments at all.

Different colors have different kinds of weaknesses. Black/Red gets more attention because part of its weakness is a card type which is something written on cards and thus cleaner to spot and easier to understand.

I feel sorry for all the people who actually have school projects or whatever to do and try to use Tumblr fan mail to contact people for it.

I usually just keep reblogging things until someone likes or reblogs something I posted so I can be like, "yes, an impact" and die in peace knowing I've accomplished something.
