With News of the Realm, we take a quick look at everything that went on at Card Kingdom, with our friends, and in the Magic world this week! 

Welcome one and all to News of the Realm! Here’s what we and our friends had going on for the week leading up to April 29^th, 2022.

Loading Ready Run cracked packs of both “Kaldhiem” and Unstable, ran a $20 LGS Friday Night Paper Fight, drafted some Tinkerer’s Cube, and recapped the Pre-Prerelease.
