This Week in Magic
Robert joins us while on the road back from GP Toronto and we welcome Chris Otwell back to the show!
GP Toronto is this past weekend and we mull over Scars of Mirrodin draft and sealed, Robert goes over his great list of interviews (keep an eye out very soon) and the mystery of Canada's greatest super hero, Tim Horton. Congratulations to Jon Smithers for winning GP Toronto and Brad Nelson with a #2 finish. Mirran Crusader is the apparent name for the buy-a-box promo for Mirrodin Beseiged. EvilBernd voluntarily takes down the incredibly popular deckcheck.net in protest of the WPN changes. The 2011 Grand Prix schedule has been announced and you can ogle the new sexy Maelstrom Pulse promo. Hop on for an IRC chat with the WoTC R&D team of Mark Rosewater and Mike Turian at 4pm PDT on Oct 27.

Anyway, there are lots of Canadian heroes that didn't play sports like Terry Fox, or WLMK.
Also interesting that Smithers won -- he plays at my LGS. That's two people there now that have won major events (Dan Lanthier and Smithers, AFAIK.)
It is refreshing to see a Canadian winning an event in Canada. Of course there were times when Gab Tsang and Aeo Paquette would just drive down and own a bunch of people in border-states premier events.

I agree. I'm just sad it wasn't me. Wish I had gone, but I'm not ready yet. I'm sure there will be quite the buzz at our shop this week.

It is good to learn from your failures, but I prefer to learn from the failures of others.
Um...why is the link to the video report on drafting NSFW? And now that I've taken a look at it, why is that video up at all? Did someone hack the post or is it a joke?
I live in northern VT and I work at a hotel here where many Canadians visit. I have to say, I've never had a pleasant experience with a French Canadian. Even their children are rude.

Pends where you're from I guess. Our superhero here in Vancouver is Luongo. We also have other heroes like Terry Fox, Fredrick Banting etc...
Something funny about the name Smithers, it's a name of a town here in BC.

Thats Montreal though... we all know Quebec is its own thing...
Thanks for spiderboy4 of High~Light_Studios for the kick ass avatar.
Thanks for DarkNightCavalier of HotPS for the exceptional signature.
"It's own thing" is an understatement, it's like going into another country.
