What would the Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Blue Eyes White Dragon have for abilities as Magic cards, assuming they weren’t vanilla/French vanilla beaters and would be playable cards in a standard/eternal format

Because I'm a weirdo I've actually thought about this a little. Blue-Eyes White Dragon is definitely a Dragon, and whilst it is tempting to make it a White/Blue dragon (and there's design space for it as a flying vigilant indestructible beatstick) for Maximum Kaiba Style it needs to be a rampable huge trampler, so that leaves us Green/Red or Green/Black. For the purposes of the Hypothetical Kaiba's decks and playstyles are rather Jund (big beatdown, graveyard mechanics, overwhelming force) so his big important creatures should also probably be Jund anyway. An expensive flying vigilant trampler seems good enough for Blue Eyes, maybe with a destructive ability.

To further this thought process Yugi (or more accurately Yami) is definitely some sort of Esper Control with all the trickery and rules lawyering he does, to this end the Dark Magician is Blue/White/Black and has abilities to represent his mastery of magic, either relatively simple magic or yugioh cards as abilities, perhaps some defensive self exile effect given all the ways Yami has to protect him. As for Dark Magician Girl, her ability is relatively simple to represent as either +1/0 or +1/+1 for wizards controlled and in grave, but as far as anything extra I'm partial to making her a scaling manadork for wizards/instants/sorceries only, which would help her synergize with her master and offer a truly legendary ability for an otherwise simple character design.

It's not a booster, but it is a lair*. An #MTGSecretLair even.

*In this case, a "lair" is a premade box just for you and the very particular things you love about Magic

Probably the biggest thing would be to use point thresholds instead of a leaderboard.

As it is, you need to play every event because if you don't, the other people around you will, and you'll actually lose positioning.

Ya as long as the number of players is capped it's always going to require an insane commitment and investment to qualify. A threshold would be better but could be hard to balance if they want it to still be some intimate exclusive event.

I actually think just dropping the PC and adding another 1-2 Invitationals would be the best solution. Like it was right before the PC started.

The law protects no one unless it binds everyone, binds no one unless it protects everyone.

It would be interesting if it were a direct ordering exclusive thing where you filled out a survey when you ordered it and then a program generated the contents.

Granted, mostly interesting to see how badly it went off the rails, but still interesting!
