This past weekend, however, was the worst for movie ticket sales since 1995, with Mad Max Furiosa barely beating the Garfield Movie in sales. It’s been a weird period for Hollywood recently, so tell me: what is your pitch for how to save the pictures?

Which is ultimately good, but it does mean the comedic goldmine that is “Mind” sticker plus [Blank] Goblin is on its way to a farm up north. Everybody loves a good Mind Goblin joke, so tell me: what is your hope for a future low-hanging fruit punch line on a magic card?
