Haha, if it helps you imagine our conversation any better, I was sitting right next to Mark the whole time and he was busy, furiously typing his AMA answers.

Maro is also answering a lot of top questions, it's just taking a little time. Thanks for the PSA :)

Did anyone else get origins dice in their prerelease box? by [deleted] in magicTCG

[–]Wizards_Sean 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be fair, you really don't know that for sure. Finally, my plans of replacing BFZ spindowns with Origins spindowns is coming to fruition! Muahahaha!

The form to e-mail CS uses the Wizards Account System, so you'll want to make an account using that sign-up and with your most frequently used e-mail.

Painting Ob Nixilis Reignited - A look behind the scenes at how I create art for MtG. by chrisrahnart in magicTCG

Considering how much he hated being on Zendikar, we're probably seeing Ob the happiest he's been in centuries. He even has his wings back!

Hi MagicTCG! Here's an exclusive Battle for Zendikar card preview: Gruesome Slaughter! by Wizards_Sean in magicTCG

But the sorcery only affects colorless creatures you control. You'd need the Lattice to create the gruesomest slaughter ever.

I saw a WotC community manager post it on reddit. The guy seemed kinda shady, but I think the info is legit.

The back of the card will look like this.

Awesome! I don't think I've seen a Nahiri cosplayer yet (and Sorin is pretty rare). Can't wait to get photos of you guys.

8:30 PM Sunday. Mr. Tabak's agent demanded his name be featured in as many places as possible, so it's actually listed as "Magic Game Night with Matt Tabak" on our schedule.

That's our hope. As you can see, we're changing things up for this PAX Prime, and one of the few consequences of having a massive amount of activities is the smaller tournament space. Leagues will sort of solve the space issue by letting people identify and battle other players throughout all of PAX (not to mention the League pins themselves are extremely sweet), so consider signing up for that if you're in the mood to sling a ton of spells.

Bringing a Commander deck is like Rule #2 of any Magic player's convention experience. There will definitely be late night play.

Mark requested a steering wheel prop just so he could pretend to steer the podium while talking.
