I was taking some photos of my halo foils and this just *shined*. I love my Lathiel, she’s gorgeous. I’m so excited that halo foil is returning in Tarkir: Dragonstorm. Just a shame I’ll likely not be able to pull the cards with halo foil on it because they’re only on the super rare ghost foils 😅

I am... not good at asking for help, despite being out of work for awhile now.

I'm not expecting anything and I don't want anyone to feel pressured, but Lume is amazing and as a trans woman that spends too much of her time in FFXIV it'd be rude to ignore. c.c

Magic the Gathering is for everybody.
Trans rights are human rights.
Bigots have no space in the game.

Be kind to yourselves and one another and don’t let people make you feel unsafe or unwelcome.

This is some ooooold art that felt extremely appropriate to post today, drawn by me and colored by @neomonsterisland.bsky.social - I might have to remake it...

Watercolour Plains illustration I did in Procreate.
I thought it could fit in Bloomburrow given the daisies but it could also fit nicely in a set like Throne of Eldraine.

Can anyone else simply just adore this set Secret Lair with me? 😍 The Fairest Drop of All.
I love enchantments, and these are some great enchantment cards with the most stunning art by these skilled artists:

Destroy All Humans, They Can’t Be Regenerated.
I’m about halfway through this now and I think it’s pretty neat! MTG Manga Vol. 1 of (currently) 16, this is the first English version released Oct 2024, and Vol 2 is releasing Jan 2025. The bonus card with be Shock.
Anyone else pick this up?

The joy being wife to @lhp64d.bsky.social is obviously that he’s great, yeah yeah, but also he gets lil MTG holiday promo gifts from Wizards of the Coast that I get to hold and photograph 😆 😍
We got Loooooot
P.s. that Duel Masters card is something else, that gold raised border is beautiful.

For sure the new secret lair Chaos Vault set is for cards that didn’t sell out over the year(s)?
Possibly with a few scarce cards thrown in to incentivise purchase. Hopefully at a bit of a mark down?!

Magic Con Chicago promo cards for the Secret Lair Spectacular event entrants (non-foil) and winners (foil).
It’s hard living in Australia 🥲 I think I might have to plan a Chicago visit in 2026.

We headed to the first Cozy Magic Fest in Melbourne yesterday! It was an amazing turnout and solidified the communities desire for wholesome, good casual Magic games and vibes. Cozy Magic Club is delivering that in spades. 💚

I adore the art on this Secret Lair by Helvetica Blanc. It’s beautiful minimalist at its finest, coupled with astrology themes for very fitting blue cards.

Pokémon TCG Pocket (the new mobile game): I’ve been doing battles via random matchups. Whenever people catch a whiff of losing, they concede instead of playing til the end. Is this common?

I don’t know how to choose a character, there are so many! Literally any cat, so I’ll try something different, let’s go with… Zul Ashur, because she looks so badass.
