Disney Lorcana Attack of the Vine Prerelease and Booster Box on a play mat. Following the introduction of Toy Story, Brave, and The Incredibles in April’s Wilds Unknown set, Disney Lorcana’s upcoming Attack of the Vine! is getting ready for the next wave of Pixar movies, and leading the way is my absolute favorite of all time, Monsters Inc.

Magic: The Gathering has a disappointingly long history of art plagiarism, but the most recent example of it in The Hobbit is easily its most concerning. Immediately after its reveal at MagicCon Vegas, players noticed the newest reprint of The One Ring looks eerie similar to the one printed in a bundle for Tales of Middle-earth's bundle box. The shading and position are identical, with the only big differences being a general lack of quality in the newer print, and a squiggly background.

Interview

Have you ever used a typewriter?

Yes! It was years ago, and I was too young to care about spelling, but I liked the 'ding' it made.

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

In the garden, watching the wildlife.
