ChannelFireball announced today that it will temporarily stop sending card purchase orders. Orders placed from March 20, 2020 will wait until further notice. ChannelFireball is one of the largest stores in the world, sending card orders globally; it also has one of the most renowned teams of professional Magic players, as well as owning CFB Events, the company that manages MagicFests.

"In order to ensure the safety of ChannelFireball staff and our community, we have made the decision to temporarily shut down ChannelFireball warehouse operations, starting on Monday, March 23rd. Any orders placed before Friday, March 20th, at 11:59pm, will be processed and shipped as normal, but orders placed after that deadline will not be shipped until we resume full operations (which we will do when we deem it prudent)."
