Control with a Mill win condition is super sweet in current standard - here's some low-ladder gameplay as a proof-of-concept while I grind mythic!

You know if things were more affordable, it would be easier to pursue content creation primarily for the creation aspect, rather than be choked by the need to pay bills and groceries that get more and more expensive, and worry about how to monetize what you do

I heard there's an unofficial YuGiOh sim that's better than Master Duel and there's even tournaments run on it??

Someone send me the link????

This card has had such a drastic effect on so many formats and it's the best thing ever imo

Bonus for being from an In-Universe MTG set!

i don't feel like magic set surveys usually have this question and i don't appreciate the implication that content creators, who do so so much for the game, are possibly to blame for a bad set's poor performance. 👎

It's a perfectly reasonable deck in pauper that has plenty of counter play

We got our date of a firm update and honestly, the format feels healthy right? Now sure if we needed changes and it's better if people feel pauper is "boring" because it doesn't need changes ATM - it's perfect?

Hi Pauper players! I wanted to provide an update on High Tide.

With the wider Magic B&R announcement moved two weeks earlier, we will now be making our check-in (and any potential B&R update) that day as well. So that's November 10th. You'll hear more at that time!

Mill is actually viable in standard - games up to showcase as a proof of concept while I grind the ladder!

So is Pioneer just dead and gone? Like there's gotta be more Pauper players than Pioneer at this point without dispute - No way even Pioneer RCQs/RCs change that right?

Unironically Modern playable card, even in a niche, and it makes me so happy

Legit one of my favorite Mill cards of all time - what's your favorite card to pair with it that isn't necessarily a Mill card?

Shaf a.k.a ThatMillGuy @thatmillguy.bsky.social · 17d

Is the return of Shapeshifters in standard through Lorwyn Eclipsed going to make Mox Jasper playable?

This is such a an important piece from Mark Rosewater's Blogatog talking about how he didn't like commander, and how he overcame that same feeling of his "Darkest Night" that many magic players are going through now!

Hi Mark, this will likely be a long one, so I hope you'll bear with me. First of all I want to thank you for all you've done over the years to make the game that is so precious to me as good as it's.....

Dehumanising language always leads to gatekeeping, othering and emboldens people to attack others.

I just don't understand the sense in essentially saying "I think this is a problem and want you to listen to me, so I'm going to make you feel like crap", like that will lead to any meaningful change.

Store credited these 3 to complete my playset (have one from Legacy Painter)

With Sagas as well - I'm so close to Affinity/8-Cast in Modern/Legacy!

The game was better before "mechanics" and you know I'm right. Phasing and Flanking were a slippery slope that landed you right in a furby's mouth.
