1 Year Anniversary
The Finisher:
Today is the Mark Rosewater’s 49th birthday… but much more importantly, this show marks the the near 1-year anniversary of Magic Mics! That’s right, our premier episode premiered on May 28, 2015, and in it we: discussed spoilers for the next set, the differences between Magic and Hearthstone, an upcoming Masters set release, and Erin’s love of Dredge. So as you can see, we’ve changed a lot in the last 362 days! What do you anticipate the biggest change will be between now and our 2nd anniversary show?
