MTG's The One Ring Owner Still Hasn't Sold It
Last week, someone finally pulled the $2 million bounty MTG The One Ring card, but four days later, it's still on the market.
As reported by CBC, the winner of this lucrative trading card lottery has chosen to remain anonymous, but they're a retail worker who lives in Toronto.
