Seeing shadowmage infiltrator and psychatog together in the same room and not fighting over who gets to be the 3 drop in the deck is cursed

Anyone else tired of new full-art "lands" just being mana symbols? Planeswalkers pull mana from the land, how are we pulling black mana from the mushrooms in a pizza? In what way is pizza land? Or webs?

I meant to just respond to the first part, how its more profitable to print busted novel legends (as opposed to reskins like mecha godzilla as hangerback). Your second idea about omenpath reskins to bring them in-universe versions, i think everyone would be happy with

But trinkeeeeeet its so much more profitable printing really strong legendary creatures that are exclusive to the set : )

Youve singlehandedly made me more hesitant to build a bello deck (this is a compliment)

Going back and reading some articles/announcements. "Miss a drop, It's gone" are words that, in hindsight, feel like saying the quiet part out loud.

Made part 2 to the vocab video! People seemed to really like the original, and god knows theres enough jargon in this game to talk about for hours, so hope this helps flesh out your lexicon!

Seeing someone call it "wizard squares" gives me flashbacks to Jon Capora's pretty deece series every time.

Hunting for signatures for my playmat when suddenly someone asks for mine. What strange times we're in.

(Sidenote: I need to get an actual signature)

I want to say thank you to everyone who is supporting me and acknowledging my little contribution to this game that has been a part of my life for over 30 years. I am glad I was able to put a little, but long lasting stamp on the game. That’s what really matters to me.

Put together a bit of a longer video about what to look for when evaluating removal in commander! Hope your group gets some mileage out of it!

A side effect of eternal-spoiler-season: I never know when sets actually drop.

While thinking about avatar and (more fondly) Lorwyn, someone informed me that spiderman actually dropped this weekend.

No time to enjoy, just be excited for next thing.
