$75,000 Worth of Magic: The Gathering Cards Stolen in Austin

The Magic: The Gathering community has long been a wellspring of poker talent, with notable names such as bracelet winners David Williams, Brock Parker, and Eric Froehlich making the transition to poker and putting up successful results.

Poker may have a shadier reputation than its distant cousin, but an instance on Sunday revealed that Magic isn't immune to a bit of criminal mischief as well.

On Jan. 24, burglars stole about $75,000 worth of Magic cards from Pat's Games in Austin, Texas, Katie Urbaszewski of the Austin American-Statesman reported.
