When the Magic Pro Tour moves into town, social media goes bananas. People from all over the world simultaneously break down their favorite players, teams, cards, formats, decks, and commentators. The speculators come out to play, stores are bought out as soon as new deck tech appears, and an #mtgfinance avalanche breaks loose. With such an important and fun weekend, let’s not waste time—take it straight to the people . . .

More at stake than usual in this tournament: feature match equity, as the feature match chairs are wayyyyyy more comfortable #ptbng #teamCFB

This is why I started playing Storm, half the time it's just Goblin tribal #gobbos #storm #PTBNG

#PTBNG That feel when Finkel has 18 goblins.

"Do we have 18 goblin tokens?" "Dude, do you even Modern?" #PTBNG

I am officially joining the chorus of people who think that not showing the mulligan decisions makes coverage much worse. #PTBNG

wow, #PTBNG has been amazing, looking like my favorite pro tour ever
— Alex / Lexie (@VisionsNearNeon) February 21, 2014
