“You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!”
This Week in Magic
Tom, Conley, Marcel, and Eric (briefly) bring you the news this week. We start off with Archenemy, a multiplayer format / stand-alone product with descriptions of all four decks. Congratulations to Dan Alpers of CCGamers.org for winning the My Magic contest for a trip to San Juan! Hasbro lists Magic in their first quarter call as one of their top sellers. Magic the Gathering Schedule is up for Gencon (August 4th through 8th). The “King of Fatties”, Jamie Wakefield, is returning to magic with goal of winning the Pro Tour. The 2010 Community Cup invitations are up for the public and press members! Jonathan Medina will have a series of articles on ManaNation about trading up from a pack of RoE to a piece of power. Also, check out the transcript of the Rise of the Eldrazi developers chat on the mothership. Don’t miss out on a discussion of man crushes and how Tom took the question in different direction (Jude Law!).
