Magic: The Gathering has made it to the front pages of TheHuffingtonPost.com. The site, a liberal media aggregator, generally focuses on politics but also has dedicated bloggers for entertainment, humor, sports, and nearly every topic imaginable. This is possibly the first article on the site dedicated to Magic. Here's a snippet:

"Magic has the Pro Tour with large cash prizes and thousands of people to play with. Most video game tournaments have the same weirdness factor a Dungeons & Dragons game has. You may have won the tournament, but did you win at life?

With Magic, you can ask that, but you can also rifle though thousands of dollars while hanging out in Rome! Rome bitches!

A hobby is useless if you don't stick with it, and the Pro Tour gives me a reason to do so.

My goal is to qualify for the Pro Tour in 2012. In order to do that, I have to learn how to play. You can pick up the basics in under ten minutes, but if you want to qualify for the Pro Tour, you need to know everything, including all the rules."

The author, Brandon Mendelson, is also the co-author of "Draculas and Kittens."
