Planeswalker Hunt Day 1 — Completed!

By ManaNation.com ⋅ December 14, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment ⋅ Print This Post

Wiz­ards has released the first two loca­tions, as well as show­ing us what the puz­zle will look like!

  1. Day 1.
    1. 30.324743, –97.743041 — Pat’s Games in Austin TX.
    2. 50.848563, 4.365096 — Out­post in Brus­sels, Belgium.

We are still wait­ing on the actual pieces to turn up. We may have a prob­lem with ‘Pat’s Games’ as it lists Mon­day as a day where it is closed all day, which could ham­per our abil­ity to acquire the piece mean­ing we’ll need to wait until tomorrow.

The above image depicts how the card is divided up. As you can see, it’s in the shape of the Planeswalker sym­bol though some of the pieces will be rather unde­sir­able (being short on juicy information.)

Update: Out­post in Brus­sels has con­firmed it is a piece of the new Jace Mind­sculp­tor. Source.

Jace piece #1

Update: We reached Pat’s Games! They have the piece, the seeker has already come by and now we should have a pic­ture of it for you all very soon!

Update 12:46pm EST: We have the piece, it has been added above to the con­glom­er­ate pic­ture. Here is the piece by itself. Thanks to Pat’s Games for pro­vid­ing Man­a­Na­tion with the photo of their piece. This should be all we get for today, be sure to come back tomor­row for day 2 of the hunt!

  1. Really? /facepalm. Even though I’ve never liked the prac­tice of clos­ing a shop on Mon­day, this is a lit­tle silly. I like this idea of spoil­ing cards this way, but hope­fully next time this error won’t hap­pen (And hope­fully the store would say “We aren’t open on this day, can we pre­view it on a dif­fer­ent day?).

  2. It seems likely the store didn’t know they were receiv­ing the piece. I’ve called three times, and emailed them. Am look­ing for any Man­a­Na­tion fans in Hous­ton to see if I can find some­one who knows the owner.

  3. Pat’s Games is in Austin, not Hous­ton, and yes, the first seeker has been there already.

  4. don’t know if this is the right section…but Rose­wa­ter spoiled the art for Bazaar Trader (rare Gob­lin) in today’s article

  5. @jimbo — Thanks, my mistake :)

    @ron — Indeed. We leave most of that sort of stuff to MTGSal­va­tion and Gath­er­ing­Magic. Though we’ll see!

  6. We had to wait till the Seeker came in order to give the pic­ture to Man­a­na­tion. I had to check with Wiz­ards of the Coast as to when we could share the picture.

    Even though we are nor­mally closed on Mon­days, I came into the store to wait for a Seeker. The phone has been ring­ing con­tin­u­ously with Seek­ers about pick­ing up the piece. I even had one per­son call from Ore­gon to see if they some­how could get the piece even though they couldn’t actu­ally get here today.

  7. Well regard­less, we appre­ci­ate your guys doing this and shar­ing the piece with us on your day off!
