It used to cover Magic tournament play and rules changes and the like. Here's a scan of part of a page from 1997.

Somehow, I haven't managed to do much of that since Worldwake preview season. Today, I will make up for lost time and show you as many Worldwake Multiverse comments as I can squeeze into one article. I've done my best to choose bits that are as amusing as possible, but I'm sure we'll learn something practical along the way too.

Enjoy.

How else can we explain the explosive mutation spreading throughout the PTQ field? Many of the cards and core strategies are the same or similar ... but with different executions, advantages, and vulnerabilities.
