I love that Travis Woo is just becoming a go-to name for any criticism of another player, even if it doesn't fit.

"Oh wow that guy murdered his entire playtesting group for their fetchlands? Just like Travis Woo!"

Only applicable if he dunked on him afterwards.

This leads me to wonder: which MTG player would be the least surprising murderer? My money's on Conley Woods.

Take another look at Sheldon Menery and tell me you're sure he doesn't have a sex-murder dungeon in his basement. I bet he slyly refers to it as "the command zone".

What did he do? I think it was something drug-related, but I don't remember exactly. I'm surprised no one's answered Bertoncini yet, he has no respect for the laws of man or wizard.

I would be surprised if it wasn't him. I can imagine him saying the brains make you smarter and healthier as he tears into LSV's head.

And of course LSV would say something like "Well this'll give me a headache" as his eyes roll up in his head and blood shoots out of his nose.

Why can't they take a normal, front-facing picture for those article/bio pics. Angle shots like those make everyone look worse and make this guy look like some kind of TV serial killer.

He was a drug dealer. Beyond that really don't know.


Oh and the most likely murderer would have to be whoever is playing against Alex Bertoncini at the time.

This could be almost any of them, but I think Brad Nelson had a pretty screwed up life while he was grinding for POTY.

(PS: I'm pretty sure some guy he was working with really did die while Chapin was locked up. There's just nothing at all that indicates he had any part in it or that it was even foul play. But it's fun to pretend.)

The slow play guy. Or maybe the guy in the pro tour in 2011 that pile shuffled his own deck and his opponents deck 6 times.

He and Sullivan make an incredible double act. He's not in the booth again until the Invitational in December, though.

Bought my first booster box since Modern Masters. Yes, I'm opening it....but to practice for Orlando! Running sealed against my girlfriend. Plus I won a buttload of store credit recently.

I didn't get to even do a prerelease so I figured it might be a good idea to actually play with some Khans cards before the event rather than just reading the set-list and theorizing about it. I've been looking at sealed pool generators online, but it's not quite the same as actually turning things sideways and seeing how it turns out.

Sure, but only if you think you're supposed to rotate the card 270 degrees instead of 90.

I hate when people "tap" poo poo and in reality they just kind of poke the card and it barely moves. That guy gets murdered after lands-in-front guy.

Sealed pool generators don't replicate the semi-randomness of magic packs since they don't have print runs. Practicing the art of organizing and forming a deck from a pool in person is also worthwhile practice in of itself.
