Happy Saturday night MTG Peeps,
If you stayed up and waited for Santa, then you'll be happy. As we type, Magic the Gathering fans are focused on the "Return to Ravnica" Party organised by Wizards of the Coast at The Showbox at the Market in downtown Seattle.
We were able to connect with mtg colorpie who has done an amazing job keeping everyone posted who were not able to attend PAX or the MTG party tonight. Show him some link love on Twitter or over at his website. Straight into the Return to Ravnica spoilers ! -
