Dominaria's Judgment 117: Slow Play and Fast News

Slow play is just one of many topics that consumed The Website this week so we went over Ari's article explaining how he avoided unintentional draws and all the awkwardness around them for years. What can designers, TOs, players, and judges do to address a problem that has plagued paper Magic since the beginning and is now a bigger problem than ever? We then turn to other timely and sobering threads: why coaching is/isn't a scam, and why all of competitive Magic is/isn't a scam, before raising a shared eyebrow at some of the early Pioneer RC results.
