Monday Night Magic: #693 - Taking Out the Trash

Monday Night Magic

Hey, look at Wizards of the Coast trying desperately to get some goodwill back from the community! They're taking steps to address some old racist cards, they're cutting ties with problematic artists, and they unbanned the frivolously-suspended Austin Bursavich in time for him to play in a Players Tour Online. So yeah, we talked about Terese Nielsen and Noah Bradley on this episode, of course. Then there's Arena coming to Mac, Jumpstart Stuff, and all four the PTO events that have happened over the last two weeks!
And that's it. Black lives matter, trans rights, Covid-19 is still a thing. Be safe out there.
