Richmond Magic:The Gathering Tournament Makes Headlines for the Wrong Reason

by | Mar 11, 2014 | COMMUNITY

One of the largest collections of card players ever took place this past weekend at the Richmond Convention Center – The Magic Grand Prix. (We were actually there to cover the event, keep an eye out for that story later this week)

But someone beat us to the headline-punch, here.

One of the largest collections of card players ever took place this past weekend at the Richmond Convention Center – The Magic Grand Prix. (We were actually there to cover the event, keep an eye out for that story later this week)

But someone beat us to the headline-punch, here. It looks like a bearded genius went around the tournament and collected exposed butt cracks. And while we wouldn’t really call this news, or go out of our way to make fun of an event that was such a success here in RVA, the photo gallery has over 1 million views, and we don’t like to be scooped.

Take a look at this weekend’s MTG tournament through the lens of a folding chair.
