  6. Commander Rules!
    1. Magic is the greatest game and full of the best people. We should all be ambassadors and work to grow the game and bring in more great people. 
      1. We should foster a community of inclusivity
        1. Everyone deserves respect
        2. Spending time with folks with a different background or perspective, can give you a different perspective, and we think that’s a good thing
        3. Zack - Australia mail story
        1. Ryan tell a story
      3. Speak up when others are doing not cool things
    2. A Magic Player is a Magic Player period. 
      1. Kids could be present
      2. Others might not know you as well, and might not know when you’re joking. Sometimes, even innocent things, said with no ill-intent can be taken out of context
    3. Be aware of your surroundings
      1. Ryan does this. 
      2. Learn other’s stories
    4. Invest in those around you
      1. Ask if they want advice. It’s better than just offering, as sometimes a player may be salty, and getting advice might be the last thing they want.
      2. Maybe give some of your draft chaff to a newer player.
      3. Be willing to teach
    5. Help newer players
      1. Tokens, dice, life counter
      2. Knowing your deck
    6. Come prepared
      1. Crack fetches on not your turn
      2. Top responsibly (Cheer’s with a top)
    7. Play faster
      1. Pay attention
      2. Don’t be on your phone
    8. Invest in the game
      1. Lift people up on twitter
      2. Look for opportunities to be positive
    9. Be a positive role model in the community
      1. Spend money there, if you can
      2. Try and make sure the folks you play with have a good time, so they want to come back and play again
    10. Support your LGS
      1. Donate your bulk to kids clubs
      2. Participate in Charity functions, if you can
    11. Give back the community
      1. There are many ways to enjoy magic and they are all valid. 
      2. One should find people who enjoy magic the same way they do to play. 
      3. Be honest
      4. This will ensure that everyone has the most amount of fun
    12. The Talk
      1. Be the kind of person you want to play against
    13. Use your empathy hat
    14. Summary - Magic is the best game, but we can make it better. Be excellent to each other
