Started playing #magicthegathering #mtg in 2001 with Apocalypse. I've nearly completed that full set, missing only three cards. Got really into it by the Mirrodin and Kamigawa blocks, completing all six sets which now exist as a cube that my brothers' and I have played endlessly.
Is poop a creative output? Asking for some friends.

The Magic 1997 monthly calendar had the sickest art of Mishra (and a dragon engine) by Phil Hale, but the only image of it online was 300x300. I've been annoyed by this for a decade. #Vorthos

What a great day for pitchers. The whole White Sox gang, Grant Taylor in particular. Drew Rasmussen on 8 innings of one-hit ball. Old man Cole. Young Jacob Misiorowski solid in his first playoff outing. San Diego by committee. So much talent. #MLB #MLBPlayoffs

The Jim Henson's Labyrinth and KPop Demon Hunters @mtgsecretlair.com seem to be getting all the attention but the Veronique Meignaud, See Machine, and Peace, Love, & Treefolk are rad as hell. Yes, please.

Rewarded my poor performance at #MTGFracture prerelease with two Collector Boosters (gambling is bad). Pulled a foil borderless Liliana the Faultless (truly stunning) which I think will go straight into Arbaaz Mir and a foil showcase Loyal Tutor whose price I suspect will go up. Maybe. I hope.

How did my #MTGFracture games go? Results were not great, going 0-2, 0-2, drop and 2-0, 0-2, 0-2. Mixed feelings on how I did on deck building and gameplay.

I wanna talk about the vibes at my two #MTGFracture prereleases yesterday at the downtown 401 Games here in Toronto.
In short, vibes were immaculate. #MTG

Headed to my first of at least two #MTGFracture prerelease events. Between the story, the card quality and diversity, and what looks to be a complex and intriguing limited landscape, my excitement is very high. Already feels like a classic and I’ve not even touched cardboard.

This is some John Wick shit.
Holy shite, this picture of Zelensky arriving to speak at the UN goes *HARD*.
That dark sorceress of infinite mystical powers he's brought with him too?! Wow.

The Sibsig Ceremony makes Karn, Argent Defender free to cast and in turn Karn shuts off Sibsig’s destroy ETB clause. Leaving you with a two mana discount on all creatures while Karn remains on board. #MTG

If you tend to blame your failings in Magic on variance while attributing successes to skill, you'll never become a good player.
That's because your player mentality is defined by your sense of entitlement to win and not by your willingness to improve.

“I really wish Jace had been around when all that weird stuff was happening with the world floating in the sky. He’s so smart, I just know he’d have known exactly what do. Don’t you think, Ranna?”

So much this. Being a bigot to bigots is not the move and so counterproductive.
There is no secondary feature to bigotry. Hate someone because they’re hateful; don’t talk about how they’re fat or ugly.

Hexing Squelcher has been fine / fair in every format where it has been played and it does more than Samut, Tyrant of Naktamun. The people losing their mind over this card need a reality check. Topical pun intended. Yes, I do know that split second forces the current stack to resolve immediately.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him.
Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going.
"Their risk is of a far different order than mine."

With three great colourless cards for this in Standard in Nutrient Block, Gingerbrute, and Valgavoth''s Lair, you can play any colour pair, taking the deck in any number of unique directions.
