Wizards of the Coast had an elaborate setup as always, with a big portion dedicated to Magic the Gathering. After you waited in line to play MtG on their iPads and consoles, you were given a sweet exclusive Pinny Arcade pin of Chandra Nalaar, and were invited to take a quick photo with her in the flesh!

I had this picture taken around noon on Saturday, so she was still full of pep and had not yet been worn down by the constant stream of geeks waiting in line for this. The employee was a little irritated that I wanted a second action shot (I should say kill shot, considering I’m usually getting killed) but the cosplayer was eager for something to break up the repetition, and was more than happy to throw a fireball down onto my head.
