“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”
This Week in Magic
It is all about Worlds 2008 in Memphis this week. Congratulations to Antti Malin of Finland who is the new World Champion, and to Team USA of Paul Cheon / Sam Black / Michael Jacob for winning the World Team Championship. Tom and Gavin had a blast meeting listeners, doing interviews with Mark Rosewater and Aaron Forsythe, Ahoy and Unhinged drafting, gunslinging and more. Tom got to spend some quality time (and filmed it) playing with the upcoming Xbox 360 game, Duels of the Planeswalkers. Check out the this full match playthrough video and prepare yourself to receive a foil alternate-art promo Garruk Wildspeaker just for buying the game! Make sure to check out the stories about Richard Garfield gunslinging and some real life Momir Vig Basic! Some great news for MTGO players, get the official scoop on the return of set redemption and return of tournament match replay.
