Before he became a Shadowmage Infiltrator, Jon was merely the best there was. Probably the best there ever will be. Despite the dominance of that German guy who so kindly stole Gab Tsang's nick name, Jon is still the best pure player in the game.

Speaking of Gab, he gives us the most famous example of the Finkel win ever as he scooped to one of the 1/3 for 1UB's Masticores when Finkeltron had no cards in his hand.

Whether looking like Ronald McDonald, picking his nose and eating it, or winning a Pro Tour, Jon Finkel is as cool as the other side of the pillow. Who else could come to a Pro Tour in Osaka, Japan wearing a trench coat and a fedora.

A consumate basketball player, he can often be seen shooting hoop with some of the finest men in the game: Bob Maher, Ed Fear, and Dave Williams.

Jon is also quite the ladies man, being known to, on several occasision, show girls his giant check, and tell them all about Magic. We know how the women swoon over a power gamer.

It wasn't until recently however that Jon gained both fear and the ability to draw his master a card when he damages an opponent. Unfortunately, he is still suceptible to a chair kick out from David Bachmann.

Even though the Infiltrator has fallen to the depths of scrubdom, he is still the top money earner on the tour. He was the recipient of a single "Hammer invite", and hasn't fallen off the train since. This was a good 4 or 5 years ago.

The Shadowy Jon has sunk so low as to actually play mono-green in Osaka. A concept that ranked just next to shoving ice picks under his toenails in the past.

With all the negatives though, just seeing Jonothan Magic in a fedora tell me I'm shit is enough to make him this week's GMOTW!
