"Eleven years after its introduction by a Seattle area company, Wizards of the
Coast, Magic is the most successful game most Americans have never heard of -
unless their children have come under its spell. Played by more than 3 million
Americans and another 3 million people overseas, Magic has become a subculture
in more than 70 countries."

Note that they _will_ generally have heard of Pokemon. And, probably, of
Yu-Gi-Oh. But Magic? Not unless they've encountered it or are related to /
friends with a player, yes...

Obviously, we need a cheesily produced Saturday morning cartoon show...

Heh. Or maybe a tie-in with a reality show ...

"We put 12 Pro Tour players in a house for 30 days while they prepare
for the upcoming World Magic Championship Invitational ..."

Hmm, maybe not; I wouldn't watch it!

"'I attacked with wood elves and was able to sacrifice the three
counters on the triskelion to do the last three damage and win,' he
explains."


Man, I love the game, but when you write something like this out, it
looks really dorky. I mean, attacking wood elves? C'mon. :)

I was more concerned with the shitty grammar in the sentence where deck
sizes are laid out.

Um. Is this some sort of double-layered joke? I mean, you know they
had something like that, right? (Not that it was televised... and it
seems the Sideboard Online archives were eradicated from the Wizards
site.)

Galactus
Artifact Creature Legend

If Silver Surfer and Reed Richards are both in play and controlled by
any one player, counter Galactus.

When Galactus comes into play, remove all permanents from the game and
all human beings from the planet.
