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?

The Finisher

On a recently aired episode of Antiques Roadshow, a woman in Phoenix brought in a 3-ring binder with an entire Beta set in baseball card sleeves, Power 9 and all, to have graded by the experts. The set was valued at between 65 to 100,000 dollars, but many dealers and internet sleuths have pointed out that it is likely fakes all the way down. But we all have those stories of shoeboxes full of cardboard gold hiding in grandma's attic or hidden gems hiding in flea market bargain bins, so tell me: what's the best lost-and-found Magic card discovery you've heard of?

The Finisher

The big story in Magic was the same as the big story everywhere this week: Social Distancing. People across the globe have been encouraged to stop, separate, and listen to the CDC’s recommendations to keep a distance from each other and avoid groups. But as gamers and Twitch streamers, we’re bred for this sort of thing. So now that the Gathering has been forcefully subtracted from “Magic: The,” how do you plan to spend your magic hours?

Q: If you could work in any department at WotC (related to Magic or not), which one would you choose (if any)?

Q: What were your favorite television shows when you were kids?

The Finisher

Cohost of The Command Zone and The Broken Pact guest star Jimmy Wong hit the premier for the upcoming release of Disney’s Mulan, where he stars as Ling, one of Mulan’s besties in the army. It’s a long time coming for one of the hardest workers in Hollywood, and a huge deal for the MTG content creator, actor, and YouTube star. And it leads me to ask the question: where will Magic podcasters walk the red carpet next?

The Finisher

The Theros campaign setting is coming for Dungeons & Dragons. Coming this June, clash with the gods of Theros in this campaign sourcebook for the world’s greatest roleplaying game in “Mythic Odysseys of Theros.” Now, we’re Theros fans. We’re D&D fans. And most importantly we’re fans of crossover IP. And so, it seems, is HASBRO, what with Ponies: the Galloping, Transformers and GI Joe mashups, and Nerf plus Fortnite, and many many more. So tell me: what’s the next hit crossover to appease HASBRO’s stockholders?

The Finisher

This week, Simone Lim became the 2020 Pokemon Oceana International Juniors champion. This would be an incredible feat for anyone competing in the event, but even more so because Simone is just 7 years old! Clearly cut from the same cloth as our buddy Rhino ake MTG Youngmage, Dana Fischer, and Reid Duke, who himself began playing Magic when he was just 5. But Magic and Pokemon aren’t the final frontier. So tell me: where will tiny tots tower toward top tournament trophies tomorrow?

The Finisher

Last weekend, Paulo Vitor Damo da Rosa completed his trifecta of trophies: now the 2020 Magic World Champion, PV added that achievement to his shelf alongside his 2 Pro Tour championships from 2010 and 2017 and his 2 Nationals titles from 2006 and 2009. This has once again brought up the discussion of who the Greatest of All Time is: Kai, Jon, Luis, Nassif... or Paulo. So tell me: who is your all time MTG GOAT?

Last night in the United States, President Donald Trump delivered the state of the union address to the nation. In his opening remarks, he said: “The State of our Union is stronger than ever before.” Now, it’s that time for Magic Mics. So if you were to tell the Magic Mics nation the current state of affairs, what is your 2020 State of the Game address?
