Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we speak to Magic players just like you in Nashville, TN to hear what they’re playing, what they feel about the new Extended rotation change, what should (or shouldn’t) be banned, the loss of States, and more. Let’s go!
Questions asked:
- What are you playing and why?
- What do you think about the Extended rotation change?
- Should Wizards ban something in Extended?
- Did the Grand Prix: Vancouver results affect your deck choice?
- What do you think about the loss of States?
Thanks to everyone who took the time to speak to me.
Join me next week as we gear up for Grand Prix: Philly!
