Welcome Our 2026 Casting Team!

David Palmer

A true cornerstone of the DFW Magic community and a longtime friend of Hunter, David’s history with this event goes back to the very beginning—where he Top-8ed the first-ever HBMO. With over half a dozen Pro Tour qualifications and a Top-32 finish at PT Sydney under his belt, David brings elite-level analysis to the booth. This marks his 6th year on our casting team, and as one of the only people on earth to own a complete set of HBMO Commemorative Dice, his dedication to the cause is unmatched.

Coleman Perret

Making his commentary debut this weekend is the “Baton Rouge Bad Boy” himself, Coleman Perret. A competitive mainstay and game designer well-known throughout the Southeast, Coleman is finally putting his Masters degree in “yapping” to professional use. Though his friends insist he “could still dribble” in the main event, the “Steam Vents King” is stepping out of the player seat and into the booth to provide expert insight on the constructed formats he’s spent a decade mastering.

Pro Tip: If you see Coleman around the venue, be sure to ask him about Super Battle.
