The Finisher
One of the most heartwarming stories of the week was about Reddit user “pudgimelon,” who simplified and cutified Magic: The Gathering for his 3-year-old daughter. Each deck has 20 cards: 12 “friends” (aka creatures) and 8 spells, all of which are sorcery speed. Toughness was done away with, each friend’s power is equal to its casting cost to simplify, and the turn order was further cut down to better allow preschoolers to understand. Now, we all have that player in our group who could use a 3-year-old’s version explained to them. So tell me: how would you help the preschooler in your playgroup grasp the complexities of Magic?

The Finisher
The word of the week is “crossover.” Magic: The Gathering and My Little Pony are combining forces to make legendary pony cards, because Friendship, as you know, is Magic. Wendy’s created a tabletop roleplaying game, of which the world’s most popular RPG show Critical Role played a #sponsored game, begging the question: “How Do You Want To Chew This?” And of course, the most ambitious crossover this week: Blizzard and Hong Kong. There were more crossovers this week than an Allen Iverson basketball camp, so as we further cross the streams, what is your personal brand’s next big crossover project?

The Finisher
Untitled Goose Game is taking Steam by storm. It was the #1 best selling game on the platform this week, beating out such major titles as Link’s Awakening and Minecraft. And it’s taking over Magic as well, with the new Gilded gander going great in games of Standard as well. So now that both Magic and strategic puzzle games have got their goose, how do you feel about our new avian overlords?
