EDH Rules Committee Quits, WotC In Charrrrrge Now

Recently, the RC banned a few expensive format staples. This made a lot of people very angry and was widely regarded as good for dramacoin.

Apparently it didn't go down all too well, however, as today the entire Rules Committee resigned their post and handed the format officially to Wizards to manage. Allegedly this is because they were sent death threats.

People are not happy about this, and there's significant popcorn being spilled all over the internet
