The Daily Magic Update is a roundup of everything Magic you should know on November 2, 2017. Today's Update is brought to you by Albuquerque. Albuquerky? Albuquercey? Albaqwerky?
It's here! For the first time in maybe ever (I'm not a Magic historian scientist!), the Pro Tour is coming deep in the season, well after the initial metagame has been set. But with so many shifts happening—Blue-Black Control is almost nowhere to be seen on Magic Online, tokens are taking over, God-Pharaoh's Gift is a real thing—it’s quite possible the Pro Tour shakes things up even more. What can the best players in the world do with a running start? Start finding out tomorrow on Twitch.tv/magic.
Wedge is back after a bit of a hiatus, so you can see him again, as well as his card-laden background. He celebrates—sure, "celebrates" is the word I’m going for—with Worst Cards Ever, the popular segment where Wedge complains about terrible, terrible Magic cards. It’s a crowd favorite, so you should be sure to constantly ask Wedge to do more of these. Like, all the time.
Mr. Riley Knight knows a thing or two about Pro Tours, and he offers his insight along with a heaping helping of side references, puns, and pop-culture call-outs in this short, entertaining video.
For anyone with a strong Commander play group, this video is super useful and fascinating—though I’ll admit what mostly drew me in was the callbacks to cards I had forgotten existed. Things like Dystopia, Omen of Fire, and Anarchy. Back when Planeswalkers were basically gods and non-allied colors really, really hated one another.
Go inside the mind of a Hall of Famer as he shows you the solutions to his puzzles from the other day. Beware: there are a lot of Disney songs stuck in there.
Yeah, we did that. Not too far ahead of time—we’re publishing the full list of From the Vault: Transform on Monday. So just sit tight and the rest of the special set will be revealed after the weekend.
