| *In response to the lost license, Wizard's VP Vince Calouri launched "Scorched Earth Mode."<ref>https://www.matobadesign.com/jamboree</ref> In this, Calouri openly threatened Nintendo, telling them that, if they retracted the license, Wizards would flood the market, causing a plummet in product value, and devaluing the product for Nintendo. After the license was indeed lost, Wizards decided to vent the entire supply of a private stocked warehouse in an attempt to make good on their threat. Additionally, former members of Wizards' playtest staff alleged that, under Scorched Earth Mode, Organized Play had "given up on trying." This led to many bizarre events occuring, such as officially run Wizards' "FAT" (Fan Appreciation Tournaments) where entry was the price of 2 packs, but you were guaranteed 16 packs as prize. Other times, it meant releasing cards with errors on purpose, to suit the desires of Wizards' balancing team, such as Best of Game Hitmonchan.
