Baseball is already a huge sport in Japan, but there's added interest in this year's World Series due to the fact that it features Japanese superstar Shohei Ohtani.

Smith responded to a Tweet asking him whether he'd pick a Black Lotus or a Sol Ring first in a Vintage Cube draft, and Stephen A. responded wonderfully just based on how epic the original fiery ring's art was. So tell me: what's something you know nothing about but you're first-picking based solely on vibes?

Specifically, one player registered 2 billion card decks containing nothing… but basic lands. Now, that's a fun little joke and the player did not in fact bring 2 billion cards to the RCQ but it begs the question: what's the most Magic cards you've ever seen in one place?

The 36th season of The Simpsons also debuted last week, and it was a “season finale” parody that lampooned classic finales of years past. These are some crazy long streaks, but they pale in comparison to Magic's 100-plus premier sets, so tell me: if Magic were to be releasing their last set ever, what would you hope was in it?

This past weekend, however, was the worst for movie ticket sales since 1995, with Mad Max Furiosa barely beating the Garfield Movie in sales. It's been a weird period for Hollywood recently, so tell me: what is your pitch for how to save the pictures?

I'm not gonna ask you to Out yourselves here, so instead: if you were the arbiter of said panel, what Magic cards would you propose for discussion?

Which is ultimately good, but it does mean the comedic goldmine that is “Mind” sticker plus [Blank] Goblin is on its way to a farm up north. Everybody loves a good Mind Goblin joke, so tell me: what is your hope for a future low-hanging fruit punch line on a magic card?
