Stores that sign up to host this event will receive a large event kit.

The Finisher
Among the news that fell through the cracks this week is that the official hashtag for Mythic Championship Cleveland, #2019MC1, which was already ungainly, turns out shares its tag with the latest “semi-automatic polymer striker fired pistol” by the gun manufacturer Mossberg called the MC1SC. Now, Magic has run into the hashtag buzz saw before, most notably with the Montana Republican Party and the hashtag MTGOP, and later the cryptocurrency exchange “Mount Gox.” But surely 2019MC1 won’t be the last time this happens. So what other unfortunate hashtag mix-em-ups do you foresee coming down the pike?

It’s been a long year already and it’s only February, but don’t let all of the drama from the past week distract you from the fact that Jace is on Sparker, the Multiverse’s premier dating app! According to this viral advertisement from ChannelFireball, Jace the Heart Sculptor is Valentine’s ready! He’s Singleton and Ready to Mingleton! And he’s… also super cringey. This ad elicited many reactions from social media, and probably just as many left-swipes from fellow Sparker users. So my charismatic cohosts, how would you rewrite Jace’s bio to be less yikes and get more likes?

Magic cosplayer and propmaker Olivia Gobert-Hicks showed off her sweet new Magic-themed vanity plates today, as you can see right here: https://twitter.com/goberthicks/status/1093320787593838592 Yup, that's right: SOLRING. This is the latest in a long lineage of classic custom card-themed combinations, from INFECT to BELEREN to BOLTYOU to UUBBBRR, copying Cruel Ultimatum's casting cost (because of course there is always a greater horsepower). Now, we here at Magic Mics are all about being #OnBrand, so if you were to get yourself one of them sweet personalized plates for yourself what might you get?

The Finisher
It’s been a week, y’all. Mythic Invitational, Mythic Edition, coverage going away, coverage returning, Nexus, Pauper, the judge program, and by god The Mountain Goats. Just like Hanukah, a small quantity of news oil miraculously lit show’s menorah for eight crazy nights. So since we have naught but 6 more days until the next Magic Mics, what, pray tell, do you think will be Magic’s next major announcement?
