If you purchased any of the last Magic: the Gathering set Battle for Zendikar you helped Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro have the strongest launch of a Magic set according to ICv2 and Hasbro’s CEO Brian Goldner.  Magic is a strong product at the moment and I don’t think it will slow down any time soon.  Some of our friends are Magic players/collectors and we want to wish them a fun time at the tournaments or pickup games they play.
