Hello everybody, and welcome to the return of the Magic Show! This week we’re going through all of the footage shot in Memphis last month for the World Championships. Are you ready to talk about split format Pro Tours, Planeswalkers, Grand Prixs, and the best Gather Specimens of all time? Let’s go!
Topics covered (in order):
- Player Dinner
- Hall of Fame Ceremony
- Pro Tour Changes for 2009
- Best Gather Specimens Ever
- All X-2s Make Day 2 of GPs
- How do you feel about Planeswalkers one year in?
- The Question: Cruel Ultimatum, or No Cruel Ultimatum?
- Bresler, Interrupted
- If you were a Planeswalker, what would your Ultimate Ability be?
Thanks for hanging in there, folks; it’s been a wonderful break, but I’m ready to hop back on the Magic culture train once again. I’ll see you next week where we’ll talk about the ridiculous Conflux spoilers (Path to Exile? Really? Really.) and feature the rest of my Worlds 2008 footage.
