Wizards doesn't make any money off of the secondary market, though it is the secondary market that drives sealed product sales. They don't make any money directly off of PTQs either.
I do agree they should put more money into organized play, thats a completely separate issue. And I feel its more HASBRO than wizards.

Those are gorgeous.

That's my second or third most favourite Island in the game, right behind the Vincent Proce bowl one
and this Jung Park one from Innistrad
Innistrad is still my favourite set ever for land artworks. I found a pack of the lands you get from a fat pack when I was home that were AVR, so now I only need 21 of each of the lands from Innistrad proper to never have to look at other basic lands ever again.
Ben Stark has been great on coverage in GP Sacramento this weekend. One round to go before T8 for those interested.

I'm enjoying his analysis. He's not necessarily the most exciting person to listen to, but he's very interesting. At least for me.

I agree that his limited skills are valuable, but if you're going to put him on the team you need the other team member to be a very charismatic person. Matt Sperling just isn't...
Leading to just a horrifically boring booth. If it were something like LSV, Caleb Durward and Ben S, maybe that would be sweet.
I've heard Ben S and LSV broadcast together. They always seem to have that moment where LSV wants to make puns, and Ben S wants him to stop.
One time, back in 'nam, Sudo was set upon by an entire squadron of charlies. He challenged them all to a game of Pictionary, which he won resoundingly. The charlies were forced to not only surrender the skirmish, but also their world-famous chili recipe, which Sudo sold to Texas for a hefty profit. Sudo is a master of diplomacy.
I heard that the "Sealed Seminars" they give at CFB events are pretty great for that sort of thing, though I've never been personally.

Will probably contain cards in each of the five colors.

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure MaRo said in an interview that they're going to try and introduce a sixth color.
