Wizards to Change 'Magic' to 'X-Men'

You heard it here first folks. Wizards of the Coast made an official statement this afternoon saying Magic: The Gathering is now named X-Men.
International Magic (X-Men) fans are responding critically to this shocking news.
Wizards quickly released a statement explaining their controversial decision.
"[quote] We already know Magic ain't the same game anymore. It's not about being a wizard casting spells. It's about being a planeswalker. Each with their own special powers. Kinda like the X-men."
Wizards goes on to say,
"[quote] We figured since geeks and nerds alike play Magic and like super-hero's we might as well call it what it is. Now we can make unlimited broken cards without thinking of the consequences. I mean, we have tons of unique planeswalkers... 'whoops', I mean X-Men to abuse. We're proud to announce this monumental change to a game with such a rich history."
Soon after the news one fan was caught on tape upon hearing the news:
It's not clear what this holds for the game's future. But it's looking grim. Unless your Stan Lee. Rumors are going around stating he was behind this appalling break-through.

It turns out the fat guy wasn't upset by the news. This is when he saw the art for Gideon, Ally of Zendikar.
I gotta admit, flashbacks of Marvel comic books came to mind, too.

I figured as much. But I was hoping it wasn't for the giggles.

Whispers are going around about conglomerating with Pokemon. Doing it under the radar will be easy. All the art of both games is kiddish. I guess I'm not completely shocked.

@HairyManBack whatever you're trying to do, you're doing a bad job at it.
none of this is even remotely believable if you're going for that angle, and if you're joking, you should really know your joke isn't good.

DERPLINGSUPREME - if it wasn't you would be using your time to note it. Or maybe you like arguments.
Hopefully we can all agree to fat guy flipping tables is going to be memorable for all time. Unlike 'Magic'. For it is now a forgotten piece of gaming history. We salute you.

Wotc did do Pokemon now I remember. Did Hasbro take them when they bought 'X-Men: The Gathering'?
When I was a squirt I'd play these Pokemon tourneys. Clean up and started using my store credit to get into Magic. I noticed the art was similar to Pikachu and the gang. It was an easy transition. Good times.

DERPLINGSUPREME - too bad you can't take a joke. Don't worry. I got plenty of more I'm thinking of posting. I think you'll like them. Then you can troll on those, too.
