Wizards of the Coast recently learned that an accurate list detailing the
cards contained in Chronicles(TM) is being sold and distributed.  WotC's
policy does not allow publishing the contents of a card set before the
release date of the product.  This is to ensure fairness and a sense of
exploration.

The limited availability of the current list allows its holders to take
advantage of players without the list.  We cannot, in good conscience,
allow this to continue.  Therefore we are releasing the Chronicles list
before the Chronicles' premiere.  This is not a precedent-setting
decision and in no way implies a future policy that WotC will or will not
follow.

Our actions are completely motivated by a desire to protect our
customers.  We do not want anyone to enter into a trade with someone
privy to inside information about cards contained in Chronicles.  It has
always been our belief that the contents of a product should be kept
secret until that product is released.  However, in this situation, that
secrecy has already been compromised, and we feel that we must act to
protect the majority of our customers who do not have the list.

Therefore, please distribute this list as widely as possible.  We are
releasing it to the Internet, as well as faxing it to all of our
distributors.  It is our intention that it be forwarded along to
retailers and customers.

Again, we are only releasing this list because we feel that it is in the
best interest of our customers to do so.  We hope the average player
understands our reasons, and will thoroughly enjoy playing with the
Chronicles cards.

Acting Magic Brand Manager.

The Duelists' Convocation at Wizards of the Coast, Inc. wishes to clarify
a potential misunderstanding regarding how the inclusion of the
Chronicles(TM) card list may affect our Type II tournament rules.  The
release of Chronicles in no way implies that the cards will be allowed in
Magic: The Gathering(TM) Type II tournaments until the standard waiting
period from the expansion's release has expired.  As will be stated in
the new grace period rules for Type II tournaments, cards from an
expansion or new edition of the basic Magic set will not be permitted in
Type II tournament play until thirty days after the product was
released.  In other words, players need to wait thirty days after the
actual release of Chronicles to play with them in Type II tournaments.

We at the Duelists' Convocation greatly appreciate your patience and
compliance in advance for helping us avoid further misunderstandings in
the ever-shifting world of Magic Type II tournament play.

Sincerely,

Steve Bishop
Director, Duelists' Convocation Int'l
Wizards of the Coast, Inc.
