From Hearthstone to Fortnite, young players have competed at the highest levels and won hundreds of thousands of dollars playing online games. Yet Magic prevents its young players from doing the same. I urge WOTC to reconsider and allow it's young players to compete once again.

This is my first piece for CFB pro, and I'm quite happy with how it turned out, check it out!
