The Finisher While the Regional Championship did draw the sharks and the grinders, it also drew a few real estate investors. Specifically, one player registered 2 billion card decks containing nothing… but basic lands. Now, that's a fun little joke and the player did not in fact bring 2 billion cards to the RCQ but it begs the question: what's the most Magic cards you've ever seen in one place?

First Pick The First Pick Roundup Gather the Townsfolk Gather for Good: MagicCon Vegas Sold Out: The Finisher The 50th season of SNL kicked off last week, the 47th season of Survivor kicked off not too long ago too. The 36th season of The Simpsons also debuted last week, and it was a "season finale" parody that lampooned classic finales of years past. These are some crazy long streaks, but they pale in comparison to Magic's 100-plus premier sets, so tell me: if Magic were to be releasing their last set ever, what would you hope was in it? | |||

The Finisher Reddit user its-summer-somewhere went semi-viral this month when they pointed out a 19-card combo that goes infinite… but only if the famous unproven Twin Primes Conjecture turns out to be true. The post, put up on the aptly named BadMtGCombos subreddit, outlines how using the new 3-drop Zimone and a convoluted combo can win you the game based on a mathematical theory. So tell me: what famed adage, razor, or theory are you hoping to use for your next deck build? | |||
