The Finisher

For the first time in nearly 2 years, a new episode of one of the most popular Magic podcasts of all time, Yo MTG Taps, was posted by the hosts (and our friends) Big Head Joe and Joey Pasco, discussing Arena's new prominence and Magic's competitive scene. Now, we already live in a culture that is mono-remakes, adaptations, and reboots of classic shows from ages past, but this got me thinking: if we can resurrect Yo MTG Taps, what other series from Magic past can we bring back now that Arena and the Mythic championship have entered the battlefield?
