Magic Rumor
Wizards Expanding Organized Play in 2010?
MTGSalvation forum administrator urzassedatives reported receiving a message outlining the following items:
- Expanded GP system in 2010
- Possibly another subsidized event on a large scale in 2011
- More local store support
- Added support for states
- More “surprise bonuses” for existing players.
This could be a sizable shift after seeing the organized competitive play contract with the removal of a fourth Pro Tour stop, the loss of a day at Worlds, and the removal of States/Champs. This message, if true, suggests a shift towards feeling ready to expand organized play again given the upswing in interest and players.
We will reach out to Wizards about these points today to see if there is any comment that can be shared with us.

You know what surprise bonuses I’d like to see? How about being able to win cards that are actually playable in the format you are playing. Am I the only one who thinks it’s kind of stupid to be giving away things like Lightning Greaves or a Watchwolf as a FNM prize?
