Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. As we head into the home stretch regarding Hollywood content, we discuss the importance of testing, R&D’s thoughts on the design and development of Bitterblossom, check out the Chapin Cam, and talk with the Pro Tour: Hollywood champion, Charles Gindy.
Next week we’ll embark on show #100 as we get reactions regarding the earth-shattering changes to the game from myself and a very special guest, along with some Regionals footage by proxy and some extra Hollywood footage left on the cutting room floor. I’d love to make Regionals this year, but I’m drawn to Michigan for a friend’s wedding and you just can’t get out of those.
I wonder… are there any famous Magic players who live in Michigan…?
Thanks for watching the first 99!
