The Finisher

https://twitter.com/ChannelFireball/status/1129510913248256001?s=20

Last Friday, ChannelFireball let the people know that some of their sales had been erroneously flagged by Amazon. Quote: “We previously contacted you regarding a new online training requirement to continue to offer pesticide products. You are offering, or have previously offered, products that are affected, including for example: Giant Spider, Netcaster Spider, Pallid Mycoderm, Root Greevil, Root-Kin Ally, Spitting Slug, and Spreading Algae.” ...Right... Well, clearly there’s been something lost in translation here, but this does allow for some, shall we say, creep. So what warnings would you like added to your future Amazon orders?

The Finisher

Space: The Final Frontier. NASA tweeted today that we’re going back to the moon, and this time it’s personal. Big news: permanent moonbases, coming by 2024. As JFK said, “We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.” But keep in mind: it’s going to be boring. No dance clubs, no bowling alleys, no water parks, just hiking and stargazing and rock collecting as far as the eye can see. The best way to fill those hours as far as I can see is Magic. So let’s say that the Magic Mics were selected to be the Moon Mics. What Magic things are you packing in your airtight foot locker when you boldly go where no Magic player has gone before?

The Finisher

If there’s one thing Erin loves, it’s viral twitter memes that lead to 20-tweet long threads that clog up her timeline worse than a Culver’s double butter burger with a concrete shake. So when @punishedcatdad launched a new campaign asking the burning question “what color do you associate with me,” obviously we were right on it. So with that in mind, and in honor of the patron saint of paints, Erin’s other favorite Bob Ross, what colors do you associate with your cohosts?

The Finisher

 

It’s the Mythic Edition,

hot and fresh out the system,

WotC sellin’ these boxes

everyone out here wishin’

That there were more than one

And EBay wasn’t so dumb

It’s the freakin’ worst way

To sell your pa-ra-FEH-nay-lee-UM (paraphenalium).

But with all of that remixed, now that War of the Spark Mythic Edition has come and gone in a matter of minutes, millions of dollars traded in exchange for shiny Ugins and Jaces, and much consternation has been raised yet again about the manner in which those goods were exchanged for said currency, what can Wizards do to make the sale experience better the next time around?

The Finisher

 

ChannelFireball.com announced a unique promotion this week, tweeting on Monday that for every pro-point Luis Scott-Vargas earns at the Mythic Championship in London this weekend, orders made before Thursday will be that much percent off in the CFB store. Now, this is a hell of an angle. And as a sales and marketing professional myself, I’m interested: since you all are excellent at building your own personal name brands, what’s your best sales pitch for a future viral marketing campaign taking advantage of a big Magic brand?

The Finisher

 

This week, Magic Mics was proud and privileged to present the brand new #sponsored official preview card Tyrant’s Scorn to the world, a spectacular uncommon that’s not just combination Smother//Unsummon and showcasing an amazing story moment from the upcoming War of the Spark where Nicol Bolas, the big bad evil guy of the last decade, swats the hero planeswalker Gideon Jura and breaks the epic Blackblade in half and… well… by this morning, you knew the rest. Yup, our preview got leaked merely hours before tonight’s show. Now, we’re no strangers to spoilers, having had Rhonas spoiled once upon a time and now this. And with the Russo Brothers jumpstarting a larger conversation about spoilers before Avengers: Endgame, spoiler alerts aren’t the exclusive domain of the Magic community. I think most of us can agree that getting spoiled on a card or a movie is not the ideal way to learn a story. So, with that in mind: let’s make lemonade out of spoiled lemons. How can we as a culture dissuade spoilers?

The Finisher

PC Gamer’s James Davenport wrote an article this week called "I Beat Sekiro's Final Boss With Cheats and I Feel Fine" in regards to using a mod to beat a video game. But that’s not the story here, folks; no, the story here is one particularly salty response on Twitter to the article that quickly became a viral sensation: “You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad that you don't know the difference.” This amazing new block text immediately took off, spawning references on all subjects from speedrunning to easy mode to lifehacks and more. But it has yet to branch into Magic… until now. So let’s hop on the viral bandwagon, and tell me: what kind of shortcuts would send you into a similar tweet tizzy?

The Finisher

War for the Spark preview season is well underway, and while the cards themselves are certainly exciting (and we’re looking forward to discussing them all in our upcoming complete set review) nothing has been getting more attention than the War of the Spark Official Trailer featuring Liliana, Nicol Bolas, and a dope “In The End” cover, which now has nearly 6.5 million views on YouTube. So in light of “War For The Linkin Park” blowing up like Ariana Grande, what’s the next big break in Magic: The Gathering YouTube?

The Finisher

On the last surviving Tumblr page, Mark Rosewater’s Blogatog, the Head Designer for Magic: The Gathering said, “The Global Series started because we were making an entry-level product for China and wanted the content available for others. It wasn’t intended necessarily as an ongoing thing.” Basically, he has a slightly different definition of “series” than the rest of us. But I think there’s more possibilities out there for future Global Series, so with that in mind where would you hope the Global Series heads to next?

Sad new to report from the Magic content creation community now: CNN broke the news today that Brian “The Professor” Lewis from Tolarian Community College died in a tragic accident. According to the article, “The YouTube star passed away early this morning after being rushed to the hospital.” Now here’s the sad part: that was just totally not true. At all. The Professor himself tweeted out as soon as he found out about the article that he is totally fine. So that got me thinking: what incredibly salacious and totally untrue headline would get social media buzzing about y’all?

The Finisher

Tonight is the launch of the Magic Mics War of the Spark Complete Set Review Kickstarter, our third ever complete set review. Wizard announced that there will be more than 30 unique individual planeswalkers appearing in the set, making that the most ‘walkers I’ve seen in one place since my last visit to the nursing home. Ravnica’s about to be the hot spot. But here’s what I want to know: with all these big multiverse celebrities descending on the City of Guilds, where can a fan get the best glimpse of an planeswalking A-Lister?

Breaking news: the world’s top Bridge player has been banned for doping. Geir Helgemo was banned for a year by the Monaco Bridge Federation. Now, even though the med he tested positive for isn’t performance enhancing in Bridge, the Bridge Federation is recognised by the International Olympic Committee, and as a result they abide by their rules. But it is interesting to consider the implications of drug testing in Magic. So if the IOC brings digital athletes like Magic: Arena pros on board, how deep do you foresee that rabbit hole going?
