"You read it somewhere else, but you heard it here first!"
This Week in Magic
We had two major tournaments this weekend, Grand Prix: Paris and Grand Prix: Kansas City. We give you a rundown of the winners and some general strategy for Shards of Alara sealed deck. Gavin talks a bit more about the rapidly approaching Pro Tour: Berlin and his preparation. We are exceptionally excited for the upcoming Jace vs Chandra Duel Decks with alternate art Counterspell, Fact or Fiction, Incinerate, Seal of Fire and of course, the two planeswalkers. It is available November 7th.
