Welcome back to the Grand Prix Atlanta countdown blog! Yesterday, I introduced you to the rest of our fantastic artists who will be joining our Guest of Honor, Terese Nielsen, in our Artists Alley. From Noah Bradley to Mark Poole to rk post, Grand Prix Atlanta will be filled with some of Magic’s most skilled artisans happy to sign cards for you all weekend long.
But artists aren’t the only special guests who will be attending Grand Prix Atlanta. We’ll also be joined by those who bring some of your favorite cards to life – cosplayers! And for Grand Prix Atlanta, we have two of the very best.
