Today the trailer for MTG Arena dropped and with it came Magic’s most iconic commercial since Bob from Accounting. It would have been enough for it to star notable internet celebrity and host of Spellslingers, Day9, but it also featured La Tortuga himself Danny Trejo. So now that we know the movie star and owner of Trejo’s Tacos is also a big Magic buff, what cards other than Mr. Trejo’s signature turn 3 Gigantosaurus are you thinking you’d like him to sign when he’s slinging spells at the next Magic Grand Prix?

The Finisher
Earlier this week, a Magic social media joke account called Magic The Hatering made a meme that went viral in Magic circles, showing that an Alpha Mox Sapphire is worth about ten times as much as a synthetic sapphire of equal weight. Now, the blueish crystalline form of aluminum oxide used in jewelry, watchmaking, and hippie-dippie healing ceremonies are fascinating and all, but this got me thinking: what other Magic comparisons get your gears turning?

This past weekend at PAX, the boys over at Penny Arcade announced that they will be launching a brand new program entitled The Magic Hour, in which illustrator Mike Krahulik and writer Jerry Holkins will play Magic: The Gathering in novel locations, potentially with interesting people. Magic and PAX have long been tied together, what with the fall set often being launched at PAX Prime, and this new show will connect the two even more. So in the future, how else can Magic: The Gathering and Penny Arcade further their partnership?

The Vorthos community has that new mother glow thanks to the news from the recent Magic story “Whispers of Treachery” that Nicol Bolas disguised himself as a pregnant woman while in human form, adding to the rumor that the Elder Dragon can reproduce through parthenogenesis (like Godzilla). Then the pregnant momma train kept rolling when the art from a Guilds of Ravnica booster box art shows Vraska the Gorgon planeswalker with a little Jacey baby bump showing through. Well we’re all on board the baby train, so which one of Magic’s characters do you want to see get knocked up next?

This week was so action packed with Twitter drama, social media shade, response articles, callouts, shoutouts, dropouts, mudslinging, tea drinking, policy updates and official announcements that we didn’t even touch on Monday’s Banned & Restricted announcement! And of course the reason is because… no changes. Thank the DCI gods that no new drama was added to stir the pot, but if you could have made one change to Wizards of the Coast’s Banned & Restricted list, what would you change and why?

Host of Command Cast and real life YouTube-turned-Hollywood star Jimmy Wong announced on his Twitter that he has been non-command cast in the role of Ling in the upcoming live action remake of Disney’s Mulan. This is obviously a huge break for the star of Video Game High School and Game Knights, but it got me thinking: who will be the next fresh faced Magic celebrity to get cast in a Disney property?

Last night on the Late Show, host Stephen Colbert and action star Joe Mangianello of the movie version on Magic Mike and Magic Mike XXL fame, not this here podcast version of Magic Mics (but hey Joe if you want on the show just get at me) waxed poetic all about their nerdy exploits on stuff like The Hobbit, the Ironlance novels, growing up dorky, and of course their mutual love of Dungeons & Dragons. We all know that being a big dork is cool now, what with comic books dominating the box office, werewolves and vampires and monsters all over TV, and scientists and physicists being the new rock stars. So now that it’s our time to shine, fellow dweebs, what’s the next bridge for Magic to cross in the completion of the Geek that shall inherit the Earth?

(inspired by Bilbo’s speech at his 111th birthday)
My dear Timmys and Tammys, Johnnys and Jennys, Spikes, Melvins, Vorthoses of all ages. Today is Magic’s 25th birthday! Alas, fifteen-teen years is far too short a time to live among such excellent and admirable Magicians. I don’t know half of your cards half as well as I should like, and i like less than half of your decks half as well as you deserve… rounded down, of course. So my gathered friends, what do you love most about Magic from the first 25 years of the game’s existence?

As reported here first in November of 2016, The Magic Bracket is holding a single elimination tournament pitting every one of Magic’s first 16,000 (and change) cards against each other in a heads-up popularity bracket. And this week, it’s down to the nitty gritty. The creme de la creme. The cream of the crop, if you will, although the card Cream of the Crop was eliminated early on. Yes, this week starts the top 128. So of the remaining cards, which one are you hoping makes it all the way to the Sensei’s Divining Top slot?
Let's talk about the new Core Set!
