The Finisher

Today, April 29, seven years ago in 2013 was the final episode of Magic The Newsening. Your home for fair, balanced, and counterbalanced reporting and your number one source for Magic news… ening. And it’s the reason we have The Finisher here on Magic Mics. And the news is already so gall-dern weird, so tell me: what less-than-meaty topic in the Magic News(-ening) this week do you have a funny for?

The Finisher

It’s a Companion’s world, we’re just living in it. A deck’s new best friend is all the rage these days, as the honeymoon phase of Magic’s newest broken mechanic hasn’t worn off yet. We all expect Geruda, Jegantha, Kaheera, Keruga, Lurrus, Lutri, Obosh, Umori, Yorion, and Zirda to be the bee’s knees until they rotate or find a banning in basically every format they’re played in, but tell me: if you were a companion, what would you do?

The Finisher

Tonight is the first night of Passover, which celebrates the people Israel’s exodus from Egypt. It’s a time for being thankful for what you have even in the face of horrible disaster. Sounds fitting. So as we eat our kishkas and our koogull and our matzah ball soup, tell me: what’ is something you’re thankful for right now?

The Finisher

Happy April Fool’s Day everyone! As you all surely know, April Fool’s Day celebrates France’s switch from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar in 1582, as called for by the Council of Trent in 1563. People who were slow to get the news or failed to recognize that the start of the new year had moved to January 1 and continued to celebrate it during the last week of March through April 1 became the butt of jokes and hoaxes and were called “April fools.” An origin that sounds fake… but isn’t. So in celebration of all things harmless prank and hilarious joke, what’s a true Magic fact about you that sounds like an April Fool?
