everyone is focused on the "edh players are slop hungry pigs" part of the thing that guy wrote, but I'm pretty interested in the "competitive players are fine diners who have kept this restaurant alive for generations" angle of it

Just when you thought shockland art couldn’t get any better.
If you already called it, give yourself a pat on the back. That land art from earlier is indeed Shock Lands!
They just happen to be Borderless and Reversible, so you can rep either Lorwyn or Shadowmoor with your hot new lands. #MTGLorwyn

Got myself a beautiful loved playset of Mishra’s Factory. A very nostalgic card from when I built my first Magic deck and I’m happy to be reunited with them even if I may never get a chance to play with them.

I just trophied with Legacy Merfolk! 🐠
This list felt amazing. Got some Hullbreacher snipe action and killed a saga with Harbinger. Hexcatcher was MVP for sure.
I'll post the video tonight. It will be in Japanese though if that's cool. The first video on my Japanese channel. @fireshoes.bsky.social

This is a rare moment in history where you can play the same deck competitively from Standard, Pioneer, Modern, to Legacy. All Kaito Dimir Tempo.

I am once again hoping for Wizards R&D to unban emergency bans.

Reminder that card power level is very dependent on the format it’s played.
Sowing Mycospawn to Modern players: “yeah it’s whatever”
Sowing Mycospawn to Legacy players: “THIS IS BROKEN. How could Wizards print this? Ban it! What were they even thinking!? Un-print immediately!”

For the Vintage players looking to get into Modern
in case you want a deck for your moxen + emry + tamiyo + stations post the inevitable breach ban, 5-0'd with this pile in a pretty unserious league (dredge, mono white karn control...)
Cache grab + mav rumble really churns through your deck and makes the pieces come together very consistently.

Seems like a decent time to remind people that I wrote an article about the woes of judges as it relates to Organized Play last year.
We're fighting a losing battle. Nothing has changed and it seems unlikely to.

Congratulations to @emmaskyeward.bsky.social for cashing with the best performing Merfolk deck at #RCCharlotte!
Funny thing is that her list is based on this 5-0 where I accidentally won with 3 Phantasmal Images sideboarded; they are sort of useless. So she impressively cashed with a 72 card deck.

Unbanning Splinter Twin was a mistake.
The illusion that it was the best Modern deck ever, unjustly imprisoned on the ban list, was better than unbanning it and ruining its legacy by being utterly unplayable.

Mindspring Merfolk is a very cool card coming out of Aetherdrift but sadly dead on arrival in Modern and Legacy. Let's talk about it 🧵
