Going Infinite

Q: If you could work in any department at WotC (related to Magic or not), which one would you choose (if any)?

Q: What were your favorite television shows when you were kids?

The Finisher

Cohost of The Command Zone and The Broken Pact guest star Jimmy Wong hit the premier for the upcoming release of Disney's Mulan, where he stars as Ling, one of Mulan's besties in the army. It's a long time coming for one of the hardest workers in Hollywood, and a huge deal for the MTG content creator, actor, and YouTube star. And it leads me to ask the question: where will Magic podcasters walk the red carpet next?
