[efnfen]

[ceplmea]

You might want to double-check the spelling for the touristic attractions :)

[LordEdge19]

First turn Ancestral Vision, second turn bitterblossom third turn Ham sandwich?Nodody would mulligan that!

Btw rome is beautifull :)

[locustkllr]

And if you draw 3 mountains in a row, Turn 5 Ken Griffey Jr. Baby

[Pringlesman]

Island, Swamp, Ancestral Recall, Bitterblossom and lunch, yep I would keep that.

[kotogo]

It's somewhat disheartening that I skipped the beginning with all those timeless sights and classic pieces of artwork to get to people talking about a card game. :(

[Otrebor2099]

@kotogo i just had a similar thought but the fact is that you as i are watching this because of Magic and despite all thouse epic and timeless places and buildings im not in the the mood right now to see it, maybe in another moment i gona spend all my atention admiring it

[SMyD77777]

Hey! thats the Roman Coliseum, I just learned about that in World History...

[locustkllr]

i kept expecting a Civilization box to pop up and tell me that Rome will add 1 food, 1 production and -1 corruption to all my cities. Expires when the Barbarian Hordes upgrade to cavalry.

[mtgforlife]

@locustkllr You forgot that the Coliseum adds +1 happiness to your city.

[Slov01]

Hoho, French music at the beginning.  Sure the Italians don't mind.

[rabblerouser]

why can't they play in the coliseum?

[blithium]

^ This ^

[tylermauthe]

It's not really live though...

[koeiisdik]

it is, every time you hit the play button they do their stories again on their live cameras.

[jozan23]

Rome is a beautiful city. The Roman Forum is so large and full of history that you can't help but be swept up by it. I'm surprised they allowed you to tape in the Sistine Chapel since they don't allow flash photography there since it will ruin the paintings.

Hilarious Girard story tho.

[FaxonD]

Thank you Evan. I appreciate that you realize there is more to Magic than just the cards and competition. Traveling, experiencing such varied and historied locations, and relationships are infinitely more valuable.

Thank you for all you do for the Magic community.

I was with my whole school in rome a month ago, it's a cool city I must say! But a month to late for the worlds :D

[CardinalDamon]

If only I could have gone to Worlds.
