This video is about the history of Oops All Spells, the players who made it, and the players who love to hate it.

This guest is one we had in mind as the platonic ideal for this series: DJ and his “Dear Gonti, Love Sophie” deck. Yep, the one made famous by the Rhystic Studies video. We talk about punk aesthetics, rhinestones, and tracking coin flips.

Attention Magic Players!

I made a video about my PT experience

I was debating whether to make it, so it's not perfect, but I think Pro Tour content of any quality stresses the importance of competitive Magic

Watch at the link below thx :)

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

i also love how many people hate this format. we need more incongruent jagged shit that irritates. wool sweaters and bitter beer. a boot that blisters. writing in red ink.

Cal @caljones.com · 1d

i think the most important impact DanDan will have in the long term is bringing a format to the cultural limelight that is just a bit *weird* and showing people that they can do weird stuff with Magic cards that isn't making a new Commander-like.

These events were five rounds, 5-0 gets to play Nationals. Second place or worse gets ostensibly nothing. At 4-0, Tim threw his Sealed Deck in the trash and dropped. "Sometimes you have to remind the cards who shuffles whom."

I’ve been racking my brain on how magic could do skateboarding in a satisfying way, and the only real answer is graphics. Cherry picking iconic boards from different brands/artists sounds like a nightmare. Good think you don’t have to. For your consideration:

Magic was super hyped for a while to make the Planeswalker symbol artworks and I loved seeing them adapted to each plane. From @rpancoast.bsky.social to @chasestone.bsky.social to @adampaquette.bsky.social and @tituslunter.bsky.social. They made for stellar computer backgrounds to hype a set.

It's a chilly day in October. Remembering Kessig by Adam Paquette for Planechase 2012 #Vorthos

A gloomy autumn scene. Trees with orange leaves, darkened sky, and small piles of mist on the ground. Beyond a broken fence, the town of Gavony is spotlit by a break in the clouds.
