The title says it all!
I’m heading to Grand Prix Albuquerque this weekend to compete in some Shadows Over Innistrad Sealed, and for this week’s Magic Minute (which can be found every Friday on NumotGaming.com) I want you guys to “ask me anything.” Ask whatever questions you’ve always wanted answered in the comments – about me or Magic or anything – and I’ll pick some of the best ones to answer for this week’s Magic Minute! Of course all comments will initially be moderated, so keep that in mind before you post.
I look forward to hearing what’s on your minds and thanks for reading!
