Are there any other celebrities who play?

I wouldn't get too excited, the Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, actually does play and he got AD to pose for the pic. Still cool that it happened and there is a Vikings player that plays MTG.

He picked the best commander deck too.

of all players on a football team why am I not surprised that the punter.... the stereotypical loner of the football team is the MTG player....

Wizards should take advantage of this marketing opportunity ASAP. Maybe put AP in a commercial dressed up as Koth. Sort of like what Blizzard did with Chuck Norris, and what Assassin's Creed did with different celeberties dressed up as Ezio.

Good to see more people bridging the social gap between "nerd" and "jock".

The0wnr · 12-01-2011, 09:41 AM

At first I didn't quite believe this, but this is awesome. I just wanna meet the guy who walks to Adrian and calls him a f***in nerd haha

It does make you wonder if there are any other celebs that play?.....this needs to be researched

There was a thread last year about this when someone pondered if Stephen King played MTG - http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/showt...y+magic&page=2

"Notables" that people speculated/mentioned were Seth Rogan, Jason Alexander and Wil Wheaton (if you consider him a notable).

Chris Kluwe in particular is nortorious for having nerdy hobbies. His Twitter handle is a Starcraft reference, and he loves Sci-Fi.

Lights claims she plays MTG, but it's up for debate how much of her nerd culture obsession is just marketing.

Adrian Peterson does not play. He just posed with the box.

pandafarmer · 12-01-2011, 12:00 PM

Kluwe plays locally at Tower Games. I've never played against him, but he just got into the game recently and enjoys playing EDH I guess!

MakoEyesX · 12-01-2011, 12:29 PM

Kluwe was on the YoMTG Taps podcast recently. He used to play 10+ years ago, but recently started playing causally again when WOTC sent him some commander decks.

"ChrisWarcraft" is not a Starcraft reference. He's really into WOW.

If only we can see more attractive girls bridging the social gap on the same criteria as well. Why do you think that only 5% of Americans are female gamers? I could be wrong but yeah you see where I'm getting at right?

Ah, that's right. Warcraft, not Starcraft. I don't actually follow him; I just remember reading something about it on Deadspin.
