Agents, you watched for 1013 — and look what turned up!
Grab a coffee (or a kanelbulle), because this briefing is a big one. Five things are on the table today:
- A fresh case file from the Bureau
- The great Moose vs. Agents hunt
- The Two-Headed Giant banned list
- A shiny new bonus for unpowered, Swedish-legal decks
- The full lowdown on our achievements
For months the Bureau has been quietly collecting fragments: notes tucked where nobody was supposed to look, and a pattern humming away beneath things we thought we knew by heart.
The evidence now points one way. ██████████ is not a rumor. ██████████ is real, and will most certainly be in the room with us. It could be someone you've traded with for years, or someone who has sat across the table from you more times than you can count. Suspicious? Very.
The hunt for ██████████ is on!
This year everybody picks a side — well, nobody picks a side. Your check-in envelope contains a personal QR code. Scan it and you'll learn whether you're an Agent or a Moose. Keep that page handy. You'll want it.
Sharp-eyed investigators may already have spotted the signs. The rest of you will have to earn them. Happy hunting!
Good news for everyone who just missed the cut: this is a separate side-show. The main event runs exactly as usual, with Swiss and a Top 8.
The best Agents and Moose finishing just outside the Top 8 get a second shot at glory. The top 4 Agents and top 4 Moose each play their own Basic Land Bingo bracket, and the two bracket winners meet in a Grand Final: Agent vs. Moose.
The champion walks off with a one-of-a-kind █████████████ card, handed over on stage. Yes, with applause.
The moose has no gender. The moose simply knows.
Saturday's 2HG mixes Swedish Old School and Premodern, and two heads are famously better than one at finding combos. So we're keeping things tidy: two lists, each applied to its own half of the card pool. Go through them with your partner in crime, and brew away.

Not to be confused: for Friday's Main Event, the normal Swedish B&R list and the Ravenna Reprint rule apply, exactly as before.
Play it pure, get +3. Simple as that.
For the Friday Main Event: register and play a deck that ticks both boxes below and you earn 3 bonus points.
No reprints. Only cards from Alpha, Beta, Unlimited, Arabian Nights, Antiquities, Legends and The Dark.
No Black Lotus, Moxen, Ancestral Recall, Time Walk or Timetwister. Your wallet says thanks.
The bonus shows up in the standings only. It never touches the Swiss pairings, so nobody gets a cushier opponent. In plain words: consider yourself 3 points higher in the rank than your Swiss record says.
End of transmission. The moose thanks you for your service.
