Hello everybody, and welcome to the final week of Nationals coverage. In this episode, our longest yet (24 minutes!), we’ll cover what U.S. Nationals means to these players, how the pros feel about the new Magic Online 3.0, hear design and development stories directly from Wizards of the Coast, discuss the mad cheats with Kyle Sanchez, and play the Future Sight Game. And you thought you were busy this week...
The Show:
The Richie Proffitt Footage:

I also didn’t include the bits where players who didn’t know Richie spoke of their deck choices, their thoughts on block play at the time, etc.
Next Week: A special visit from a certain well-known pro could lead to some fun antics.
Until next time Magic players, this is Evan Erwin. Tapping the cards...so you don’t have to.
