Hello everybody, and welcome to another edition of the Magic Show. This week we're talking to prerelease players in Nashville, Tennessee on what they think about Eventide, the upcoming prerelease changes, Mythic rares, new favorites and more. Let's go!
Special thanks to all of my interviewees.
Data Recovery Update
Apparently the experts are having some issues with the drive itself. I’m not sure what that means, and they wouldn’t be any more specific than “the drive is in the clean room, and they’re working on it.” It’s been there for... two and a half weeks now. I ask the woman on the phone, “Is this a good thing, or a bad thing at this point?” “Well,” she tells me, “these types of drive problems can take awhile, and I’ve seen both 100% recovery and loss.”
Fingers crossed, etc etc. It’s maddening, but there’s nothing I can do at this point but wait some more.
That said, I’ll see everybody (who’s attending) at the Kentucky Open this weekend. Come see and hang out with me up in Louisville, won’t you?
