brought me close to tears. I obviously never knew the guy or anything, but it's sad to see someone who wasn't famous within the community but that everyone generally liked and had good interactions with die suddenly.
I was reading the memoriam, and what really got me was getting to Adam Styborski's post. Him posting one of Mike's little quips, and then saying 'I wish you could delete it instead.' That was so heart-wrenching.
RIP Mike.
Breaking news.
There will be no Tibalt, Tamiyo, Tezzeret, Garruk, Chandra, Liliana, mini-Jace, big-Jace, Garruk again, or Sarkhan in Theros either.
There will also be no Black Lotus.
