Oh right, a game with _ **Wizards** _ and _ **Magic** _, right? Meeko takes out his 300 card deck, and deals himself seven cards. Having won the cut, he chooses to play first. Meeko looks at his hand and decides to play [Tolarian Academy](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=8883) and then 5 Zero casting cost Artifacts, then taps the Academy for 5 Blue mana. Using the 5 mana he then casts his seventh card, [Battle of Wits](http://gatherer.wizards.com/Pages/Card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=83133). Looks like I’ve got this game won before my next draw step. Oh. Yeah, ok Confirmed. ---

Eeze I didn’t even have a chance to tell you how cool I made the game and you’re already starting I guess we’re a little mafia starved over here. I want to say that I becamed pretty bummed once I found out the setup that I wouldn’t get to play. Any chance I can get in on the sub bench? 😉 ---

I wish I did, Inner. Those would be tasty! Uh, still waiting a bit for some to confirm roles(nearly 24 hours on). We will get into a brief Night Zero today, even if I have to replace those who haven’t confirmed. ---

I’m going to wait a little more on our, as of yet, unconfirmed players. It is the weekend and some people may need more time to confirm. So, holster your wands and wait a bit. ---

A few years ago somebody went through the first Harry Potter book and strategically replaced 'wand" with “wang”: some of the results were truly hilarious.
