Well, the show is starting February 18th, which means it’s time for Sony to start promoting the show. They’ve unleashed upon the hungry masses a trailer, which can be viewed above, and also announced their previously secret celebrity judge, someone named Hal Sparks. The trailer features one contestant sporting the sweetest, fullest and most luscious neckbeard I’ve ever seen. Other highlights include cuddling, hugging, crying, manipulation, LARPing, and one contestant uttering the profound reflection “it’s game over.” Celebrity judge Hal Sparks has shot to stardom in recent years with memorable roles like “Elevator Passenger” in Spider-Man 2 and “Digger James” in a 2005 episode of CSI. His impressive celebrity status is sure to lend serious cred to The Tester.
This week’s Magic Card is Hymn to Tourach. As far as I can tell, this is about the greatest second-turn card in the history of Magic the Gathering. Beyond that, it represents that most feared and devious of Legacy decks, Mono Black Control. Hymn to Tourach is an utterly hilarious and a devastating bomb of cataclysmic proportions when you manage to foist it upon your opponent in the early game. It’s especially potent when you start attacking with a third (or even first) turn Hypnotic Specter. Imagine the following scenario: in just two weeks, you will be participating in the Magic tournament of your life, where the entirety of your honour rests on whether or not you win that tournament. Lose, and you will be forever shamed. Win, and receive a piece of plastic that reminds you of how awesome you are for an entire year. Do you play with your Hymn to Tourach equipped Mono Black Control deck, or do you bring your White-Blue control deck instead? The Black deck seems a little more powerful, but the White-Blue deck seems a little more consistent. What do you choose? Then again, maybe neither answer is right. Maybe you should surprise everyone with a mono Blue Counter deck, or a White weenie deck. The truth is, the options are endless, and so is the glory to be won. |
