Sheldon Menery

Sheldon Menery (1961-2023) was a retired Level 5 judge, and a leading member of the Commander Rules Committee which recommends bannings in the Commander format.
==History==
Until 2013, Menery also occasionally provided coverage for Pro Tour and StarCityGames tournaments, and wrote columns for various Magic websites, most notably StarCityGames. Most of his writing was centered around the Commander format of which he continued to be an avid player.
Menery passed away after a long battle with cancer on September 7, 2023. In tribute to his contributions to the game, MagicCon: Las Vegas 2023 had a small tribute station and screened an interview filmed with him at his home. Wizards of the Coast announced the Secret Lair Drop Series: Sheldon's Spellbook, designed in collaboration with Sheldon, would be released in his honor. The set of his favorite cards, some with his likeness and / or quotes, was released on February 26, 2024. Half of proceeds of the sale were given to the American Cancer Society.
