 In early 2006 , Wizards of the Coast filed a lawsuit against Daron Rutter , then administrator of the MTGSalvation website ( on which he is known as " Rancored Elf " ) . The charges stemmed from Rutter publicly posting confidential prototypes for upcoming Magic : The Gathering card sets to the MTGSalvation forums , ten months before the cards were to be released . Mark Rosewater explained the outcome : " I can say that we [ Wizards of the Coast ] settled the lawsuit with Rancored Elf out of court to both parties ' satisfaction . "
