Magic: The Gathering has long been a game geared towards men. Wizards of the coast has tried on many occasions to introduce women to the game, such as the Women’s Open, but the turnout was not high. As an effect of this, and in an effort to reduce the amount of players wishing to be qualified for the Pro Tour and clogging up PTQs everywhere, Wizards of the Coast has stated that all Pro level events must be played in the nude, starting in San Diego. Reactions were mixed by players already on the tour when they were told about this new rule.

Kai Budde – “It doesn’t matter what WoTC says….I’m Kai Budde, I can do whatever I want!”

Mike Long – “Damn! Where am I supposed to hide my Cadaverous Blooms now?”

Matt Vienneau – “I’ve been on so many drunken, half-naked tirades through convention centers around the world, no one would know the difference. I’m not naked now, am I?”

Interest in the Pro Tour from random players has declined since the press release, however there is a two month waiting list, at $100 each, for tickets to watch the Women’s open in future events.
