Today I found a blast from the past, thanks to social media.
We all know that Magic is coming out with a major movie in the next few years. It will be awesome, and if done right will generate a ton of new interest around the game.
But it's not the first time.
As it turns out, this wasn't a sweet movie. It was instead an April Fool's joke, and a pretty awesome one at that. I guess the poster was sent out to LGSs back in the day. And by back in the day, I mean in 1997, when a quick Internet search didn't exist to find the truth out about the movie.
An awesome joke, indeed. Nice work WOTC.
I want this poster.
This was also in an issue of Inquest for all you old-timers 😛 Kinda funny that three of those stars are still relevant today, sorry Sarah Michelle…
This was also given out in a GenCon swag bag back around mid-90’s(?). My copy has been framed and hanging for over 20 years, right next to two framed sets (25 cards each) of autographed cards from the 90’s. Also on the wall is a signed print of the original ‘Hymn to Tourach’ (along with a signed card) by Susan Van Camp.
My youngest wants all four frames given to him in my will. He has a long time to wait. 😀
