Wizards retracted the suspensions of ten of the twelve players involved on appeal, and in January 2016 stated a new policy of explicitly announcing the beginning of each spoiler season, to help players identify unofficial leaks. As some of those players, notably including multiple judges, had not been actively involved in the most recent leak, the administrator of the judging resource briefly took down his site in protest. A subsequent investigation led to DCI suspensions for the members of a private Facebook group which was accused of participating in leaks over the course of multiple releases. These leaks led to a direct response from Wizards expressing its frustration with the leaks. Further leaks for both Oath of the Gatewatch and its associated Zendikar Expeditions cards continued over the next month. The leak provoked discussion of the new colorless mana symbol,, and spoiled the set's story by revealing Kozilek, the Great Distortion early. On November 18, 2015, three cards from Oath of the Gatewatch were leaked. Ultimately, four players, including both Matignon and Wafo-Tapa, received DCI suspensions for their part in the leaks, though Matignon's was later shortened. Wizards then accelerated their normal preview schedule, providing official previews for the set over the course of a single week. Matignon shared it with Guillaume Wafo-Tapa, after which it became available to the wider internet.

The "God Book", an item containing each card in the set, had been provided to Pro Tour player and journalist Guillaume Matignon for his use in writing for Lotus Noir. On April 20, 2011, the entirety of New Phyrexia was leaked when unauthorized players gained access to the set's "God Book". On September 29, 2008, the entire Conflux card list was found in a Japanese database and published on MTG Salvation, making all card names known even before the release of the previous set. This leak led to legal action against Rutter and ten John Doe defendants, which was settled out of court. In December 2005, Daron Rutter, under the name "rancored_elf", posted an image of three Time Spiral playtest cards on MTG Salvation, nine months before that set was released. This incident prompted a response from Wizards restating their policy of not commenting on leaks. On April 9, 2002, six weeks before the release of Judgment, the entirety of the set was accidentally made public through Magic Online, and publicized on MTGNews. The auction included a photo of the sheet, which included a then-new split card and provoked a lengthy discussion. In September 2000, an Invasion foil print sheet was auctioned on eBay weeks before the Prerelease. He claimed to work at the printing plant, but people didn't believe him, mainly because the tombstone icon looked illegitimate to others. Pillow_wasp was a user on MTGNews forums who posted blurry zoomed in images of cards.

Initially sources for unscheduled spoilers included early releases of magazines such as InQuest, The Duelist, Lotus Noir, Mana Rouge, and Scrye. Nowadays, that position has mostly been taken over by Reddit ( r/magicTCG). Sites like MTGNews and MTG Salvation were known for reporting on spoilers. Prominent third parties are also given card images to preview, according to their audiences, on a schedule dictated by Wizards. Official reporting ĭuring the preview season for an upcoming product, Wizards of the Coast publishes articles which include images of new cards, and which detail new mechanics, rules changes, and rulings that address expected difficulties. However, leaks have prompted statements regarding that policy and emphasizing the harm done by leaks. Wizards generally does not directly acknowledge leaks as a matter of policy. Occasionally, information about upcoming sets is leaked by outside parties instead. Official spoilers become available through a planned preview season orchestrated by Wizards of the Coast.
