I was pretty sad to hear the news from SCG today. I guess we should have seen it coming, but this really feels like the end of competitive Magic as we know it.

Still thinking about what kind of comic I want to make about this. I'll hopefully have something tomorrow.

Looks like competitive Magic is coming to an end. What would you miss you the most about it? The competitiveness? The exciting game play? Or vdeos of cheaters caught on camera?

I think the people and history. I feel like I've been following many of these people for 20+ years, and it's sad to think I won't have them in my life anymore.

Just to add onto this. I remember the Sideboard, a paper newspaper section that came with Duelist magazine and dedicated to tournament results. And I remember reading about Jon Finkel back when he was on the Junior Super Series. That's how long I've been following this stuff and watching all these stories unfold.

Same. The death of competitive Magic is hurting me more than I thought it would (even as someone who probably wouldn't play another GP or PTQ). I still like watching coverage and following the overall trends.

Competitive Magic will probably live on, just not with Wizards. Already heard that places like Channel Fireball will probably be hosting their own tournaments. Heck, anyone can host a tournament. Just bring the big prize money and they will come. ;)

I agree that competitive Magic will come back in some form. In particular, I've seen Nerd Rage Gaming starting to try to do in the midwest what SCG is doing on the east coast and CFB is doing on the west coast. But I think a lot of history is going to be lost in the transition. Things like how many pro tour top 8's Jon Finkel has had, or the Lightning Helix moment, or even what it means to be a Hall of Fame Magic player.
