Can/Am Invitational Custom Cards
One of the earliest "Invitationals" was the Can/Am Invitational that was played at Pro Tour Chicago in 1997. The Can/Am invitational gathered together top players from Canada and the United States. The format was a wacky sealed deck using every expansion printed up to that point. However, WotC was one expansion short. Several ideas were put forth. Mark Rosewater decided to use cards from an expansion Donald X. Vaccarino had showed him (at that time known as "Expansion X"). Some of the cards were "reprints" from Vaccarino's earlier Edge of the World expansion.
