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?

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?

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?
