Hey everyone, this is WillieGmyPrez and I am just bringing you all a few things that have transpired this week.
According to Cedric Phillips,his facebook status reads “No Worlds for me. My career grinding has officially come to a close. It's been real. It's been fun. Hard to say if it's been real fun. Cya on the flip slide Magic grinders!” and with that Cedric Phillips has retired from the game. From what I have gathered, thanks to Mtg Mom or @lifeonauto on twitter, he has recently finished schooling and has decided to focus more on his career and other endeavors. I am sure most of the magic community wishes Cedric the best. Good luck Ceddy P!
A Major development in the suspension Tomoharu Saito. Saito is now being removed from the Hall of Fame as confirmed by WOTC as of today. Yesterday, it was rumored that he had received several emails about the GP Florence situation and had posted a lengthy blog post about not being included into the Hall because of his DQ at the GP.
For those of you who are unaware, Saito was DQ'd at GP Florence for suspicion of clock management and it wasn't long ago that Saito was seen reading Jace, the Mind Sculptor multiple times in a single match causing people to question whether he was draining the clock to force his opponent into a game loss because of time. As a result of his DQ from Florence, Saito is now banned 18 months and will start his Pro Points at zero upon return.
Also Worlds is this weekend, so everyone get ready to have your minds blown by the new decks coming out for Extended and hopefully we will see something emerge out of standard! I am sure everyone has their favorites and an have mine, Go Gerry T!
Thanks for reading
