Mtgcommander announced that silver border cards are legal in commander until the 15th. Normally, a local store reports all commander events in WER.

If there are silver border cards in someone's commander deck, can the pod still be sanctioned and reported in WER (as a casual event of course.)

This post seeks an official answer.

Commander, as a casual format, is often run with ‘local rules’, which may or may not match the MTR exactly; that's fine. Yes, you can sanction Commander events (until Jan 15, 2018) with Un-usual rules…

There are discussions underway as to whether or not Unstable drafts can be sanctioned; stay tuned for a possible announcement?

Hi,

I am convinced that there is nothing to discuss about Unstable sanctioning - Unstable drafts are part of the Year-End Draft Promotion, so such drafts need to be sanctioned via WER (as Casual draft). Otherwise WPN would not be able to identify the players eligible for the promotion.

Scott misspoke a little here. Unstable drafts are (casual) sanctionable. The open question is whether there needs to be a document update or if we just say that Casual can ignore the silver border part of the MTR.
