Intro: I'm Cary. I run a Magic story search engine (@mtglore.bsky.social), I'm on The Vorthos Cast, and I wrote a zine about Gatherer comments (mtglore.com/players-just...).
I'm a free agent in it for the love of the game. Simple as that.

Saw a neighbor's escaped dog on the street while taking Io on her night walk. Rushed her inside, then went back out whistling and following its tracks in the snow. (I've caught one before on the same street, it happens)
Anyways, I ended up 10 feet away from a coyote before we went our separate ways

Fallen Empires was an abject disaster that should’ve killed Magic dead. 31 years have passed. We're all still here.

Tell me what you love or hate about Jace, as a play piece, or as a character. My friend group is pretty split, I’m genuinely interested in the broader opinion!
Reminder: The next entry in the Untold Stories saga is Magic: The Gathering: Untold Stories--Jace, set to kick off next February! Details: https://bit.ly/47nRAKz

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

So a lot of us woke up this morning to an email informing us that OMENS OF CHAOS (have you pre-ordered yet?) had been pushed from February 2026 to April 2026. People are understandably confused, not thrilled, and expressing both these things to me. So here's what I can say.

Performance review was going smooth up until my boss asked about hybrid and I answered "I don't love the commute, but it's been fine how it is."
After a 30-minute lecture on designer intent and how there could have been a hybrid Sephiroth card in the Cloud deck, I'm back in the office 5 days a week

So, I found the fabled "1993 west coast game store tour" that WotC staff went on to demo and promote Magic, shortly before GenCon launch.
Mildly confident this $300 shirt (listed on Ebay) is the only publicly recorded log of this trip

If you're interested in grabbing this, please watch for the auction during this year's @desertbus.org . I'm always so excited to push my skills every year for this event, and this tea set absolutely did that for me.
