The Finisher

The rest of the world, and probably a few people here, are dual-screening Magic Mics with the World Cup. Now, we are not the most soccer-centric talking heads but we have a brain for a different game, so tell me: which Magic Plane would you be rooting for to make a run at the next World Cup if they qualified?

The Finisher

Breaking news: William Shatner knows what Magic: The Gathering is. The actor who played Captain Kirk commented on the possible future Kirk Commander legend with some classic old-head toilet humor in response. And since folks born in the 40s have been in charge of everything since the 90s, it got me thinking: what silent generation celebrity do you think has heard of MTG?

Heroes of the Realms is back, and the most recent hero to hit the board is "Mr Monopoly, On the Go." It was posted by Dave Moccia, designer for "Monopoly GO!" and features an ultimate called Pass Go that makes 200 treasure tokens. So it got me thinking: what would your ideal Heroes of the Realms homage Magic card be?
