Jason waxes poetic about the upcoming Gen Con, presents some famous characters immortalized in Magic card form, and reports the (shocking) tournament results from the weekend.

Fifth Dawn was the third set in Mirrodin and was inexplicably focused on getting people to play all five colors. In the abstract, this is fine, but this was in a set full of artifacts that gave you advantages for running them. It would be like if Onslaught Block culminated in a set focused on super-powered spells instead of really good Tribal creatures…

Oh, wait.
