It would fit in the deliberately dystopian future of Total Recall seamlessly.

Ok, #mcatlanta folks, I'm at the airport on the way home from a great weekend repping Commander Arcade for @glhfmagic.bsky.social with @erickmtg.bsky.social

This was a fun time, and maybe we can run it back next year.

Oh. Digital-only first-printings don't generally get proofs either that I've seen, that's a good point. I misread the original question a bit.

I know that the original Voja token by Sardinha didn't get a proof made, because it was MTGO only, for instance.

Judge Rob ➡️ CubeCon (playing) @judgerob.bsky.social · Sep 2

Historically, every artist gets proofs of any card that has proofs made.

Proofs aren't made of UB cards. This is a likely-contractual choice by Wizards that I think is very dumb.

I'll be questionable about responding for about a week (Steel City Spectacular is the next four days) but yep, feel free to send it to me either route. DM me if you need my email.

I have regrets about not going to WorldCon now. This looks like a great set of panels and events.

Sean Gallagher ( @mrtoolshed.bsky.social ) and I got featured in The Week That Was this week, check it out. magic.gg/news/the-wee...

The Week That Was: The Tournament That Almost Wasn't

With only a few days of prep, a group of Magic players turned a near disaster into a weekend to remember. So, how'd they pull it off?

At this show... unknown! It's my first show as a creator, so I'm learning the landscape. Ship me a DM and we can plan something though, I'd love to catch dinner or similar, it's been way too long.

Judge Rob ➡️ CubeCon (playing) @judgerob.bsky.social · Jul 22

I'm helping run this sweet celebration of different ways to play and enjoy Magic and the Gathering. Save the date for next year!

Strong agree, every time I've worked with and by @zbexx.art it's been a joy and a pleasure and I've been impressed by her competence and patience. Shout-out to the Dreamhack shows a few years back and the amazing cosplays there!

I played this with you at the last CubeCon and it was really good, the games were tight and very interesting.
