I'm back! Hope you had a good week while I was away. Did you see the story about the Olympian who plays Magic? The only lame part was that during the story they used AI to generate the graphics, which included a Magic card named "MaurGaonn." What the hell?!

Hadn't heard the story yet - so nice 😃 - but the AI-part: awful... Looooove the comic though 😂😂😂

It's not super surprising, looking at the statistics. If you play mtg post covid you are now in the 1/5th minority. In 2018, there were 20 million Magic players worldwide. So there are now around 100 million Magic players worldwide. That averages out to around 1 in every 83 people. There's around 2900 people competing in these Winter Olympics, so around 35 of them play Magic: The Gathering :) Still it's pretty cool <3

Ha, good point. I wonder if the fraction of gamers at the Olympics is higher than average too.
