Pull up
It’s time to talk about non-card #MTGart and why it’s amazing.

What are some of your favorite pieces of Magic art not from an actual card? They could be from supplemental media, marketing, packaging, concept art, etc.

My parents wouldn't let me watch the 2003 show lol, but I was a big fan of the 2012 one when it came out

You know, I don't think they've been verified as the "#1 Online Retailer for Art Sleeves"

Much like a real fortune teller, I am right almost half the time

I hope they relax the standard species/class formatting to allow "Mutant Ninja Turtle" on the typelines

Her not even appearing in Aetherdrift's art, flavor text, or story material was so baffling

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.
