The Finisher

While the Regional Championship did draw the sharks and the grinders, it also drew a few real estate investors. Specifically, one player registered 2 billion card decks containing nothing… but basic lands. Now, that’s a fun little joke and the player did not in fact bring 2 billion cards to the RCQ but it begs the question: what’s the most Magic cards you’ve ever seen in one place?

The Finisher

The 50th season of SNL kicked off last week, the 47th season of Survivor kicked off not too long ago too. The 36th season of The Simpsons also debuted last week, and it was a “season finale” parody that lampooned classic finales of years past. These are some crazy long streaks, but they pale in comparison to Magic’s 100-plus premier sets, so tell me: if Magic were to be releasing their last set ever, what would you hope was in it?

The Finisher

Reddit user its-summer-somewhere went semi-viral this month when they pointed out a 19-card combo that goes infinite… but only if the famous unproven Twin Primes Conjecture turns out to be true. The post, put up on the aptly named BadMtGCombos subreddit, outlines how using the new 3-drop Zimone and a convoluted combo can win you the game based on a mathematical theory. So tell me: what famed adage, razor, or theory are you hoping to use for your next deck build?

This past week was Memorial Day in the US, which is traditionally the first day of summer for movie releases. This past weekend, however, was the worst for movie ticket sales since 1995, with Mad Max Furiosa barely beating the Garfield Movie in sales. It’s been a weird period for Hollywood recently, so tell me: what is your pitch for how to save the pictures?

The Finisher

Amy the Amazonian got some traction this week on X, pitching a Smash Or Pass panel at MCVegas where the audience will propose Magic cards for the panelists to pass judgment on. I’m not gonna ask you to Out yourselves here, so instead: if you were the arbiter of said panel, what Magic cards would you propose for discussion?

The Finisher

With Unfinity finally leaving Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper, that means Stickers and Attractions are on their way out of the public consciousness. Which is ultimately good, but it does mean the comedic goldmine that is “Mind” sticker plus [Blank] Goblin is on its way to a farm up north. Everybody loves a good Mind Goblin joke, so tell me: what is your hope for a future low-hanging fruit punch line on a magic card?
