Who am I?

Panel Content
Jon Finkel (aka Jonny Magic) is a Magic the Gathering player, co-founder and treasurer of the charity Gamers Helping Gamers, and a managing partner at a hedge fund. In 2005 he was inducted into the Hall of Fame as the vote leader of the inaugural class. (And because I know Jon will never read this I'll add that he's an avid, but aggressively mediocre, basketball player.)
