Magic: The Gathering writing has a short half-life. Historically-important articles are taken offline every year. This sucks. That's why I'm launching Library of Leng, an index of 32 years of Magic writing. 150k+ articles, 20+ sites, fully searchable. library-of-leng.com

Can I suggest adding Legit MTG from the Wayback Machine? I was looking for articles about Full Box Sealed since one of my LGS does it for the Saturday evening event during prerelease weekends and the only one I found was mentioned on an archived Reddit post and the site no longer exists. (cont'd)

Luckily someone archived it with the Wayback Machine so I was able to read about it, and now it's always a part of my prerelease weekend plans since I was going to buy a box of boosters anyway. Might as well play with them immediately. web.archive.org/web/20160510...

Hey there, format archivist here. Sounds like “Boxing League”. Thanks for linking to what you were looking for! It really helps my compendium project when other people give air to old format data!

Boxing League looks cool and I'd love a shop to run one for prerelease too. This was still only a 40 card minimum deck, just using a full box. No commander and still 1v1. It's one of my favorite things to do prerelease weekend at @lodestonecg.bsky.social

At the first LGS I belonged to, we did basically this for the pre-release for Scars of Mirrodin, but it was six packs initially. It became a months-long league of 1v1 matches and taking territories on a grid to unlock packs for your team. Half of us were Mirrians, versus Phyrexians. Good times.
