Hello everybody, and welcome to another Prerelease Edition of the Magic Show. This week we’re in Nashville, TN and talking about the sights, sounds, and mana costs of Shadowmoor, what it means to players in the area and what they’re excited about from the new set. We also witness The Heart Attack, the scariest burger to ever grace the Magic Show camera. Let’s go!
Join me next week when we’ll see some fascinating artist interviews from the Roanoke Prerelease at StarCityGames.com headquarters via Darrell Riche and Anthony S. Waters.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to talk to me, and of course you for watching this crazy program. We’ll talk more next week.
