PAX Prime is just over 8 days away in Seattle, WA Aug 29-Sep 1, 2014.  Look for Wizards of the Coast at Booth 1642 on the floor.  The Annual PAX Magic: the Gathering Party will be likely taking place Saturday Night.  In the past, the party where multiple fall set spoilers are provided was typically at the ShowBox but so far, the venue is unconfirmed.

The Big Event this weekend is the Magic:  The Gathering World Building Panel on Sunday 8/31 1:30PM - 2:30PM at the Hedgehog Theatre - here's the blurb -

Come meet the team behind the creation of new worlds for Magic:  The Gathering as they give you an exclusive look at the up-coming fall Magic set, Khans of Tarkir.  You will find out all about the five warring clans on Tarkir, and how Dragons have influenced this world’s culture long after their extinction.  This will be your chance to get a glimpse of that world before anyone else, presented by the people who made it!
