Number of events down and the events are no longer called Grand Prix, but hey, now you can enjoy plowing some moms on the MagicFest™. :eyebrow:

So, besides a name change, I don't think changes anything about Legacy events? Except possibly changes the number of them?

I like it.

Yeah, I don't know about anyone else but that is to be expected when just Q1 of events has been released. Fests seems like a more apt term to describe GPs now, GPs feel a lot more like giant magic conventions these days.

I didn't mean to imply that there would be more or less, just that the number never was a fixed value. So, Legacy is basically in the same position it was with the old "GP " system, even with these changes. At least, as far as I can tell.

Apparently, a Magic Fest already exists and they aren't too happy about WotC using the same name.

WotC should know that you can't use the Magic Fest name unless you're a member of the Alliance of Magicians.

I've been watching season 4 of Gotham, you know, that take on the Batman universe where everything always turns out for the worst and everybody, and I do mean everybody, is just an impressive mix of insane and incompetent?

I feel like that's what working at WotC must be like.

Shut up, GOB.

I don't know which is funnier...

...a bunch of sweaty neckbeard's disapointment when they discover their local MagicFest is for actual magic.
