Blog Fanatic: Pro Tour Player Meeting
To those Pro Players who showed up to Pro Tour: Atlanta, the entire Mirage set was a mystery. There was no spoiler, and no block rules were given out ahead of time in the player packet. The only hints players had about the new abilities were from nine preview cards on a flyer that dotted the Atlanta tournament hall, which showed Sandbar Crocodile and a couple of flankers. The player meeting would be the first time the new rules and mechanics were explained to players, so it was imperative that the meeting go smoothly. What actually happened was one of the more amusing and frustrating player meetings in Pro Tour history.
