ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.

Can hangarback really count as a breakout when the card already broke out over the last two weeks?

Well, the Pro Tour is a much bigger event than the SCG events, so I think it has a much bigger impact on the overall meta and prices.

Thank you for printing Hangarback Walker. Hangarback Walker is like a fairy godmother. It sits on your shoulder and says "you played badly, but I don't care".

- Would you rather have a thopter spy network than that ensoul artifact?
- I'd rather have a ham sandwich.

This just in, Hangarback Walker $100.'

I really wish the PT Columbus 2005 commentary existed in higher quality.

So far this format is blazing. 3/4 of Feature matches done in no time flat.

LSV on artifacts beats Karston 2-0 to go to 3-1 in matches.

Shenhar 4-0 on Jeskai over 5 color rally.

EDIT2: Boooo! Red Aggro mirror...
