31-year-old Elijia Dale Creech has been arrested by police in Minnesota following a fight over a game of Magic: The Gathering, in which his 20 year-old opponent was stabbed seven times in the face and neck.
As the local Fox outlet reports, a disagreement that began during the late-night game last Friday quickly escalated “and led to Creech hitting the man in the face with a rubber mallet and stabbing him seven times.”
The victim was rushed to hospital with “substantial injuries” that are not thought to be life-threatening.
Creech is now in custody facing charges of first and second degree assault.

I guess he’ll need to be a “Wizard” to escape conviction?
Look, it’s harder than it seems, alright.
Elijia had tramp, his opponent’s defence was useless.
I mean, there is literally a card called Stab Wound.
This is what happens when you play Lantern Control in Modern.
Player 2 does 7 points directly to Player 1’s life total, but sacrifices his library and the game…

Holy smokes!
I wonder what it was that made him snap.
The realization that he sucks really bad at the game, is my guess….
