Magic: The Gathering gave us a Strixhaven side story set on Lorwyn. I don't want to get into the Reality Fracture of it all, or the inclusion of Oko, or the re-write of Rhys' history, or the sprinkle of transphobia. etc. ETC...

This is basically a human on a plane that is supposed to have no humans. Why can't Wizards just give us Lorwyn??? I am still beyond hyped for the return, but this is as immersion breaking as UB is to Magic as a whole.

There are points where I have really enjoyed the story, but I am also finding myself worried we are going to get a bunch of Strixhaven in our Lorwyn Eclipsed…

I don't need Spotify to tell me that Bunny White's The Higher the Hair, the Closer to God is my top album of the year. Every time I come back to it, I love it more.

It was fun to see this kind of analysis! Fascinating that it captured Gardner without the Fox. The most interacted with accounts is my favorite. I love that we have been able to maintain these relationships across both years and platforms at this point. 🙌
