They’re testing out paying for Pizza Hut with TikTok videos. You heard me right: the pizza restaurant Pizza Hut is going to start trying out offering their products in exchange for influencer videos instead of cash money. Money can be exchanged for goods and services, so tell me: what would you do for a promotional pizza?

This week, “The Mob Won.” If you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up.

That’s all I care to say about it other than to say it’s the best Magic copypasta since “Underground Dojo Keyboard Cagefighters.”

It was revealed today that we are getting sequels to classic cards in Duskmourn, specifically The Meathook Massacre II. Now, sequels are huge for the horror genre, so tell me: what cards are you hoping get sequels this coming spooky season?

This past week was Memorial Day in the US, which is traditionally the first day of summer for movie releases. This past weekend, however, was the worst for movie ticket sales since 1995, with Mad Max Furiosa barely beating the Garfield Movie in sales. It’s been a weird period for Hollywood recently, so tell me: what is your pitch for how to save the pictures?

Amy the Amazonian got some traction this week on X, pitching a Smash Or Pass panel at MCVegas where the audience will propose Magic cards for the panelists to pass judgment on. I’m not gonna ask you to Out yourselves here, so instead: if you were the arbiter of said panel, what Magic cards would you propose for discussion?
