Hey folks, I’ve had to check into the ER and won’t be around the con today. I’m not doing great, but I’m in good hands. Here’s hoping my travel insurance covers this.
I’m going to be taking some time away from streaming. I’ve been struggling with the aftermath of a severe traumatic brain injury the past 8 months, and It is preventing me from working, performing and computer/screen viewing. Thanks for the support, this year has been total hell.
TSA pulled me aside and starting roasting me over my mismatched duals. They’re getting my ass, they’re calling their buddies and they’re pointing and laughing. Im embarrassed and crying
Today we had to put Piglet to sleep. She was a few days shy of turning 13 years old. We knew this was coming, but it doesn’t make it any less heartbreaking. She was our baby.
Building a commander deck with every piece of overpowered and excessive ramp with literal zero payoffs. Just looking to ramp both my mana and the table anxiety
My husband Kiefer was admitted to the hospital this weekend and we don't know what his stay will look like other than "long". Between this and the dog's surgery I'm stretched pretty thin, so my online presence will likely be reduced for the next bit.
Having played Magic for 2 decades I’ve gone from “big idiot angels & dragons” guy to “force of will” guy, ultimately landing at “big idiot angels & dragons backed by force of will” guy. I guess what I’m trying to say is I like cube
Fantastic news. Kiefer’s recovery went a lot smoother than originally predicted, and he’s coming home from the hospital today! Big thanks to everyone for the output of support and help during this distressing time
“These Ikoria cards make no sense, and I hate how childish this all seems. Oh sorry, my turn? Ok I’ll attack with this baby fire lizard and toss a massive legendary axe at it which I’m able to summon due to attacking with a demigod and Robin Hood”

I am fine and having a great time.
@Voxytwitch
definitely didn’t sick goons on me. Here we are having a good time, and nobody is here against his own will
A decade from now they’ll release Commander Legends: Dark Souls and I’ll post a thread so insufferable it’ll make Shivams posts look like Magic: The Gathering
I don’t play any of the formats that received bans, but they absolutely went too far or not far enough here’s where WotC massively SCREWED up and how it all leads to the real reason my wife left me 1/23

Not only is
@TolarianCollege
the MTG creator GOAT but he's also just the best in the business at playing host. Just the pinnacle of accommodation and kindness. An absolute legend.
(Sorry James)
Making a Voja deck with mass land destruction, 2x copies of Farewell and touching my opponents cards without ask- *bullet pierces nearest window and enters my left temple*
Just had to put down our cat, Morley. She was a gift from Kiefer during the darkest period of my life, and meant the world to me. She was old and sick, but the vet said she was recovering well. I’ll need to take a break. She was my baby. I’m destroyed. I’m not okay, but I will be
Don’t shit on people using proxies. Encourage players to experiment with proxies. Proxies not only let more people play Magic, they also let people play their preferred style of Magic without finances and availability acting as gatekeeper. It isn’t a difficult concept to grasp
I feel like I’ve somehow been long-conned. Twitch chat convinced me to watch some of the Yu-Gi-Oh GX anime, only for me to walk face first into an episode about a lab-trained card game playing monkey named “Wheeler”.
Love the idea of some boomer magic player passing cards down to their grandkids, resulting in some middle-schooler just locking out the cafeteria with Tangle Wires, Winter Orbs and Smokestacks
Magic Twitter needs to take advantage of the community notes. So much stress and time could be saved by posts being tagged with “This user is talking about Commander
Coming to an Ikoria near you, I'm happy to share my free preview card "Fire Prophecy". I want to give a big thanks to
@wizards_magic
for this opportunity, this is a childhood dream come true. Also, thanks for giving me something that is Canadian Highlander playable.
A straight: “Hey, leaving the bar so soon?”
Me, a gay: “Yeah, uh, I gotta go uh, I got my old lady at home waiting for me”
A straight: “Oh haha, I hear that brother”
Old lady at home:
A post on Gladiator:
Gladiator is a 100 card singleton format designed to be played primary on MTG Arena, using all available cards on the platform as a cardpool. Features no sideboards, commanders, companions or "wishboards. There's a banned list, but currently its just Oko
Not to bring up dead discourse, but the idea that sites like EDH Rec are detrimental to Commander is baffling to me. EDH Rec has made Commander infinitely more enjoyable for me, and has been a godsend for rediscovering niche cards of my youth.
There’ll never be another one like him. Sheldon was such an incredible presence, and one of the kindest, most helpful mentors I’ve ever met. Our chats meant the world to me, and it’s cruel to see him go. RIP
My husband and I celebrated our 9th year wedding anniversary yesterday, and just like several previous anniversaries I was out of town on a magic trip. Bless Kiefer
I DO play magic for male approval, but specifically for one man. Him, just him. It’s that damn smile (and he won’t return my emails about custom cards)
A kid at the hotel said he could drink more milk than me, which is a blatant lie so I called his bluff and crushed him, but now I’ve got to walk through this god forsaken desert with 3L of dairy in my gut all in the name of beating that snot-nosed punk.

Alright, this is the card that made me tear up. On the first day I ever played Magic, I asked my cousin if there was a legendary rabbit. Nearly 19 years later, I finally get one. This card just warms my heart.
Hey folks, I’m the one responsible for including Karakas as a box topper from LotR Commander. Terribly sorry for the miscommunication, and as an apology we’ll be shipping out special promotional copies of Braids Cabal Minion to participating LGS’
So for some reason I thought Gladiator was now an officially supported format on Arena, then came to find out it was just a spotlight format for like 3 hours last month.
Can we not just play it all the time
@MTG_Arena
?
Are you letting this stand
@BWheelerMTG
?
Play your Brothers Yamazaki as partners. Play your Cousins Yamazaki, Isamaru & Yoshimaru, Elbrus, Skysovereign, whatever. Like Sheldon isn’t going to bust through your roof, rappel onto the table and wrench your cards out of the command zone lol
One of the younger players at commander night asked me to watch their deck while they quickly stepped out, and I’ve never felt more connected to the new generation of players
It’s important, likely necessary, to have a critical relationship with the media you consume and some folks take any form of hobby criticism as a personal attack or just baseless negativity.
If I had to nail down my biggest issue w/ Secret Lair discourse it’s either the inability to acknowledge the destructive combination of self worth/validation by material ownership in our community or unaddressed rampant addiction issues expressed as borderline financial self-harm
Streamer: Hey everyone, to celebrate only losing 500 subs during the time I flew overseas to bury my grandmother, I'm going to stream for 24 hours straight while ignoring any/all self-care advice I preach to y'all.
Viewer: All of this is good!
Got my mild concussion upgraded to a moderate-severe concussion. Doctors orders means no streaming until I show improvement. This is absolutely crushing. Please take care of your brains.
So for creatures they’re all separated by colour and then organized alphabetically. In each alphabetical column, they are further organized by CMC, with old border cards up front. It gets tricky with old border reprints, but there’s an internal system for that. Now single pips go
My preview card from

Mystical Archives is Ephemerate! The card is either absolutely busted and lets you take infinite turns or saves your bad White creatures. Both of these things are my jam.1
