Vincent Deck Update: Great Success. I definitely didn't crash a photo opp at Supanova to hand deliver it.. Matt had no idea what he was holding, but he did find out afterwards. Hope you enjoy playing this as much as I enjoyed making it @matthewmercer.bsky.social
Chaos Sealed was so much fun!
Limited is always a good time. Even more so when you pull off a sick Sultai graveyard synergy deck.
Summer of Magic is a banger, so get down to your LGS!

I think it's very clear where my #MTGxATLA loyalties lie..
This set looks to be a scorcher, and I'm all fired up to get down to a prerelease this weekend.
Thank you to @magic.wizards.com for sending me a small mountain of cards to open. I'm very ready to pull a Zuko.

The Commander Showdown at PAX Australia was a delight. Blessed to have shared the stage with @gavinverhey.bsky.social, @ifycomedy.com and @rubeeplays.bsky.social. Thank you to my friends at PAX Aus, WOTC, and especially eBay Australia for making it happen. Can't wait to do this again...

Find me at #PAXAus this weekend and say hello! The first 50 or so people will get to choose a sticker or pin to show your frog allegiance.

PAX Aus soon! At this point these are likely going to be the decks I'll bring, or at the very least 4 of them.

I have to say I really love the card treatments in #MTGxSpiderMan, and this despite not being an existing Spiderman or comic fan. Really beautifully done. And as always I'm a sucker for any very shiny cardboard, and this Heroic Intervention does not disappoint.

Thank you to friendly neighborhood @magic.wizards.com for swinging by and leaving me this gift. Very excited to see some of the cool comic card treatments, and to get down to a pre-release this weekend. Webbing needs some work tho... #gifted #MTGxSpiderMan #MTGxMarvel
