* Breanna's speech to Springer to convince him to keep his company and avoid granting the mark a way out of his bankruptcy. She voices thoughts that, no doubt, a lot of people have reflected upon being a fan of something like ''Magic: The Gathering''. About how, despite the business side of the card game feeling overwhelming and soulless, it has still brought fans together to create far more personal, life-changing connections that help them feel like they're not alone in the world. And this is ultimately enough to not only convince Springer to not sell the company, feeling a renewed spark, but gives her the one-of-a-kind card that has been in the eye of nearly ''every'' fan of the game for over twenty years.
