The SCG Invitational showed us a number of things from a player and speculator perspective; where metagames were moving and what to buy into. But it also displayed, for the first time in almost two years what vending large events were going to be like and how hungry people were to both buy and sell.
This gives us a good idea of how MtG Las Vegas will unfold and what we can expect at paper events for the immediate future.
There was also the Hasbro Earning call this week and we make a few call outs based on that and a breakdown by Ben Bleiwiss.
