Some days are way more rewarding than others.
Had the best time hanging out and slinging spells today with Evan for
@MakeAWish

...and
@maro254
&
@jfwong
too, of course!
OK well, I held it in for 24 hours:
I hate the Golos ban y'all. It makes zero sense to me. This is probably the single RC decision that I disagree with the most from the last 5 years.
This is my dream come true, meeting
@PostMalone
and him buying the One Ring card from me is literally a moment straight out of a fairytale.
@PostMalone
@wizards_magic
you’ve changed my life. Things like this don’t happen to people like me. Forever grateful 🙏 ✨

We have a systemic racism problem deep within our police force, criminal justice system, and our society.
We spend so much time denying it that we can never begin to fix it. We have to acknowledge it and face it. Only then will we be able to change it.
Black lives matter.
The whole
@commandcast
team showed up to work today in costume. But I can't figure out who they're dressed as...
They kept saying something about "Howzit-ween" ???
I just can’t understand anyone denying that Trump is responsible for all of this.
He’s been openly seditious for months now. Undermining our democracy. Shouting that it’s all a fraud. Imploring his followers to do something about it.
It’s not a difficult puzzle to figure out.
Hadn’t realized I’d been holding my breath. For 4 years. Feels good to exhale.
Nothing is perfect but a step in the right direction is a step in the right direction.
At airport security:
Me: So, I have these boxes of cards. I’m just gonna take them out now if that’s ok, since they always get flagged and searched anyway.
TSA Agent: I’m a big fan of Game Knights.
What's with people throwing shade at cosplayers?
Imagine your favorite movie or tv show but with everyone just wearing regular clothes and then tell me what they do isn't storytelling.
And of course they look good doing it! Who makes content and doesn't want to look good in it?
This outcome should have been a foregone conclusion. We should barely have taken note of it.
Our collective relief at the verdict is just further indication of the underlying problems in the system.
Content Creator Advice that I never see anyone giving:
Work on your performance skills.
And I mean actively train at it. Take an improv class. Or a voice class. Study speech or acting, etc. Do more than one. Do it a lot. They have online training for all of it. (1/8)
Wishing a great big happy birthday to the one and only

I couldn’t ask for a better creative collaborator, business partner, co-host or friend.
Hope it’s a great one bro! 🎂🎁🎈
The Post Malone episode of
#GameKnights
is dropping in about 2 hours @ 11am PST!
Not sure I've ever been this excited to release a video. It's an epic game with an absolutely epic guy.
Had to make the tough call to cancel this month's episode of
#ExtraTurns
.
Between the holidays and CMR (and just a crazy year in general) our team has been stretched pretty thin. I know I'm about as tired as I've ever been.
Apologies, but my hope is to have a new ep in January.
Stopped in to visit the grand opening of
@KingCash_7191
’s new card shop “Cash Cards Unlimited”
@CashCards_WLV
Super cool and classy place. Huge congratz bro!
And of course, I had to upgrade my favorite deck with some new bling from the foil king.
How did this happen? Well, we got a DM from one of our patrons a couple of months ago. His name was “Austin Post”.
Life is crazy sometimes.
Absolutely cannot wait for y’all to see this episode.
@PostMalone
is legit one of the coolest people ever.

The new

A couple of cool milestones:

- Modern Horizons episode became our fastest video to reach 1 million views.
Many thanks to all of those who tune-in and support our content. Y’all rock!! 🎸🎶🎤
In the midst of an 80 hour work week trying to get
#GameKnights
finished for Friday and people be yelling at me all day for releasing our only non-Commander related video in the last 4.5 months.
Good times.
@MTGNerdGirl
Ignore the BS accusations. It happens all the time, I’ve done it before too. It’s just the way it is when players are sitting side by side rather than across from each other.
I would also say that the responsibility falls on each player to protect their own hand. Like in poker.
All praise and support to Benita Robledo. This is what real courage & strength looks like.
I condemn MDL’s actions in the strongest possible terms and believe his recent behavior indicates no change to his MO.
We have no association with IHYD and will be keeping it that way.
Here’s that awesome Deliver Unto Evil
@UltraProIntl
playmat I was talking about - featuring magnificent
@SebMcKinnon
artwork.
We’ll definitely be giving one or two away with the release of the next

We've got something really special and cool coming out tomorrow that the whole
@commandcast
team has been working extremely hard on. Haven't been this excited to release a piece of content in quite a while.

#GameKnights
is almost here!
It’s an epic battle featuring some of the classic Commanders being reprinted in Double Masters.
Ashlen = Bosh
Jimmy = OG Kaalia
Joe = Vish Kal
JLK = Scarab God
Who do you think will win?
Find out: Wednesday, August 5th.

#GameKnights
almost done. We spent over 80 hours the last few days just on the mix.
It’s the most complex timeline I’ve ever worked with. More intense than almost any film you’ve seen.
Big shouts to
@AdobePremiere
. 90min w/ 30+ video layers and 20+ audio- still running fine
I’m honored to accept a position on the new Commander Advisory Committee.
I think it’s great that the RC is reaching out to gain a broader perspective on the format and I’m very proud to be a part of that.
At this point, it's gotta be getting pretty tough to deny that the systemic racism is real, right?
I mean, has there ever been civil unrest of this scale/magnitude, any time or place in history, where the underlying issues being protested turned out to be unfounded?
Playing against
@JakeBossMTG
’s oversized EDH deck and it’s one of the most hilarious things I’ve ever seen.
Plus, look at who his commander is. It’s too good.
(my Greven deck is included for scale)
Not gonna lie, it’s pretty cool to be featured in a Sports Illustrated
@SInow
article:
Also very cool that
@KingCash_7191
is opening his own LGS. Congratz bro!! Excited to go visit and check it out this weekend.
Look- it’s super simple:
The game designers and rules people (including the RC) have said that companion works in Commander.
Y’all can yell “sideboard” and “but Wish cards” etc as much as you want. It doesn’t matter. They design the game.
They want it to work, it works.
Every good project has a “How in the hell are we gonna pull this off?!?” phase, right?
(Note: Even if untrue, just tell me yes so I feel better. Thanks.)
The art on this card is just incredible. No one does it quite like
@SebMcKinnon
.
Also, I hear it combos pretty well with Jandor’s whatchamacallit. Right,
@Graham_LRR
?
I wish y'all could see just how hard the
@commandcast
team works and how much passion they put into all of our content. Super proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with them every day.
I gotta say,
@jfwong
clips and snippets and red carpet interviews have just fully taken over the timelines of all social media platforms and I couldn’t be happier. Dude has MADE IT.
The
#MTGBRO
episode of
#GameKnights
is almost here!!
@TolarianCollege
joins us for an epic Commander battle that threatens to tear the world asunder!! Can he finally claim victory or will
@blackgirlmage
thwart his long-awaited return?
Find out next week (Wed 11/16)!
Can we get a whole show that’s Yelena and Kate Bishop just like traveling around in an RV or something?
Every scene they have together is amazing.
#Hawkeye
Huge congratz to
@TolarianCollege
on reaching 500k subscribers! This is a mind-boggling accomplishment.
Prof, you truly are in a class all of your own and you continue to inspire and blaze new trails for all of us. Can’t wait to see you hit 1 million!

@goberthicks

@TappyToeClaws
in the house to play Commander BUT, in honor of the new Unsanctioned product, silver-bordered cards are legal in this game!
And trust us, it gets CRAZY.
I just wanna say (for no particular reason) that Brandon Sanderson is awesome.
We only got to hang out for a single day while filming
#GameKnights
but I found him to be one of the smartest, most inspiring and interesting people I’ve ever had the privilege to be around.
Got a very cool surprise in the mail today: the new Street Fighter Secret Lair cards! Thanks

Which one should I build for

Happy Birthday to

She’s an NP working on the front lines of the covid crisis. She even recently VOLUNTEERED at a quarantine site here in LA.
That’s someone running into the fire. For no pay. That’s a real a hero. I’m proud to call her my girlfriend and soulmate.
We’ve been working with
@wizards_magic

@GavinVerhey
on a very cool announcement video for some future Magic products.
Should be out on Wednesday. Really exciting stuff. I can’t wait for everyone to see it.
The Mulan World Premiere is tonight- this picture was taken over two years ago on our final day of production. It’s been a lifechanging journey and I cannot wait to share more with you all.

This is a HUGE deal and I could not be more proud.
Hi everyone. Back in December I found out I got the role of a lifetime, and 8 months later I can finally tell you all about it:
I’M GOING TO BE IN MULAN
I’m joined by some absolute legends as I reprise the role of LING from the original. I can’t wait :)

Props to the whole post production team for the always epic editing timeline pic.

Getting pretty sick of being called a shill/sell-out.
True fact: I could very literally buy this car with the yearly income I give up to do

What you're witnessing is not selling out, it's selling IN.
Wishing a great big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my pal, the great community ambassador and amazing MTG content creator who still constantly manages to inspire me:
@TolarianCollege

I hope it's an awesome one, my friend.
Moving sucks. But there are those cool moments when you come across stuff that you had completely forgotten about. Like a full-on case of one of the the coolest draft sets ever.
