Something out of place. And even if you’d seen the entire game before it might not be obvious, I’m not even sure how clear it was to the players at the time. At the turn of the millennium one of two American Magic players is going to become World Champion for the first time ever. In a final that will go the distance to determine who is unofficially crowned as the game’s best player one game in particular stands out. In a rare, 71 card mirror match featuring two future Magic Hall of Famers one decision may well have altered the course of history. This is the story of how Jon Finkel and Bob Maher Jr. met on Magic’s biggest stage and how one misstep let a series come crumbling down. This is the story of Tinker at the 2000 World Championship.
