This Week in Magic\n
Join Tom, CONLEY, Jack, Chris, Robert and Adena for a run down NPH lane. WoTC has a\xa0big announcement\xa0about doubling the number of GP's, no more large regional pre-releases and private PT's. We all run through some our thoughts and picks for the current crop of NPH cards and Conley gives his underdog pick (hint, it's Phyrexian Unlife) from the\xa0unofficial spoiler. Sheoldred, the Whispering One will be our pre-release promo. A\xa0Planeswalkers guide to new Phyrexia\xa0goes over Black and shows the art for what appears to be a new Skirge and mentions "Wrack Imps". The\xa0NPH Event decks\xa0appear to be mono-green and mono-white. On the mothership,Tom LaPille addresses the fact\xa0that JTMS was the most played card (including basic lands) in the latest GP Top 8. "New Judge Announcements from DCIJudges on Twitter. Congrats to new L5 Scott Marshall, new L4 Dami\xe1n Hiller, new L4 Cristiana Dionisio, and new L3 Kevin Binswanger!!". Online Poker gets a\xa0legal pimp slap. Congrats to Gavin and KYT for qualifying for US Nationals playing Caw-Blade. The May FNM promo is the timely Squadron Hawk.\xa0

B-movie pick: "Best of the Best" with Eric Roberts, Chris Penn, James Earl Jones (1989)

Conley and Tom also delve a bit into their favorite fast food and the impressive re-invention of Long John Silvers from the trash heap in the 1980's to a respectable place today.
