CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA -- The new code of behavior for Magic Invitational winners was set last week, when The End Games store owner Mike Long dealt damage to the store's co-proprietor Pete Leiher. Mike Long, after an alleged argument, began gathering up merchandise, essentially searching and removing cards from the store grounds.

Other Invitational winners were asked for comment, and unanimously replied that they were unaware they were expected to not only bear the likeness of their Invitational cards, but personify the creatures as well. This new policy was soon solidified by the DCI and made official, leaving the Invitational winners to scramble to follow this new rule. The decision was met with initial dissent, but overall, pros soon warmed to the idea.

When asked for comment, Darwin appeared visibly distracted, perhaps because of his current undertaking to mulch his backyard several times over and then set it on fire and run through it. Darwin Kastle Mess's invitational card Avalanche Riders appeared in Urza's Legacy and saw play in multiple decks before rotating out, particularly red land destruction decks and Recurring Nightmare-Survival.

Additionally, Jon Finkel has recently joined a special ops division of the CIA. Finkel, who continues to be very cooperative with the media, mentioned an upcoming and slightly confidential mission involving him sneaking into Iraq in search of hidden nuclear weapons. When asked if he was certain that this information could be exposed to millions of people on the internet, Finkel said, "Wait, I thought this was only going on MiseTings...."

Finally, Chris Pikula is reportedly attempting to continue Meddling Mage's legacy of prohibiting certain cards from being played. Pikula recently submitted an application to the DCI, as he apparently wants to give his input on card bannings and restrictions. Even if his application is not accepted, Pikula says, "If I really want a card banned, I could just have Mike Long steal them all."
