Quick 📌 to say I'll be at MagicCon: Amsterdam next month!
Don't have much planned outside of participating in the "Battle of Wits Live!" and "Magic and Mental Health" panels.
This will be my last MagicCon of the year, so I hope to see a bunch of you there! 🥳
#MCAmsterdam
I haven't watched the show fully, but:
- These aren't Nazgûl.
- The rings of power do not exist yet.
- In order to be a Ringwraith, you need a ring of power.
If you're gonna be angry, at least be correct about it. Jesus.
With Outlaws of Thunder Junction previews kicking off next week, let's talk about the billion-or-so bonus sheets that you'll see in the cowboy Standard set.
It's good to be know which card is part of which bonus sheet so you don't become confused!
Let's dig in. 🤠

Much like the Innistrad: Double Feature Basics (and the other Innistrad ones), these suck from an impairment and visual accessibility perspective.
Cool idea in theory, but crappy in execution.

**BIG ANNOUNCEMENT**

and I have been in an ldr for a while, and when she was in Roanoke last month we got married! Which is awesome in its own right but has the added benefit of making it much easier for her to immigrate here.
In memoriam of Nintendo Gamecube coming out 20 years ago today, please remember that the Gamecube controller is the best controller ever made and nothing has come close since send tweet
there has been a concerning trend lately where cards are being printed in frames that make it not immediately clear what color the cards are, and i hope that wotc can find a better way to walk that line. i think alt frames are by and large cool, but it adds a lot of memory load
Looks like Ultra Pro threw a bit of a whoopsie on their Instagram. There seems to be a Secret Lair of the Lorwyn Five in a Sports card/baseball frame coming soon!
#MTGSLD
I love Slay the Spire because you start with a deck that's absolute ass and then you're tasked with building something that's essentially Vintage Storm, lol.
The rest of the "What If Planeswalkers Were Compleated" Secret Lair drop were revealed just now.
Sarkhan, Ugin, and Sorin join Nicol Bolas for the WPN-only drop.

From the Shire to Mirkwood, from Gondor to the Dead Marshes, from Rohan to Orodruin.

has journeyed across Middle-earth, and what an adventure it is!

With Lost Caverns of Ixalan featuring four Commander Precons, this will bring the total number of Precons up to 25(!!) this year, which also includes LTR and WHO.
This isn't including the Secret Lair Commander Precons (such as Angels)
25, in a year! That's madness.

When I was 4, I nearly lost my finger to a windy door which severed my finger badly (it was hanging).
Thought it was cool, showed my Mum the 'cool red stuff' coming out it my finger.
She fainted.
I also stained the leather sofa with my blood.
Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty makes me wish we still had blocks instead of individual sets.
The set is great, immersive, and the amount of attention put into the set is amazing. It's kinda unfortunate to see that attention already shift onto a new and completely different thing.
As someone who uses Linktree (a site that now violates Twitter's updated policy) to promote my content and is essentially my resume as a freelancer, this is fucking ridiculous.
I'm quickly running out of reasons to stay on Twitter.
Noticed folks have been misreading this card. Granted, there's a bunch of text but the "loses all abilities" clause relates to The Irencrag itself, not the equipped creature.
It means you can't use The Irencrag as a mana rock when it becomes Everflame, Heroes' Legacy.

I'm worried about how unsustainable this could be long-term (from an IP standpoint) without returning to Marvel, LOTR, etc multiple times over as these big blockbuster releases.
I don't know how long Wizards of the Coast / Magic can continue to prop up the shortfalls of Hasbro.
Maybe it's just me, but I did not realize how fucked up Lukka's compleation is. Like, I didn't fully grasp the perspective from looking at the official card. This is gnarly.

I still cannot get over the fact if you finished Top 16 at the World Magic Championships you're right back at the bottom when it comes to qualifying for the Pro Tour. Like, you're back to grinding RCQs.
Legit crazy.
Dear competitve Magic players,
Please for the love of all that is holy put a text copy of your decklist in the ALT (image description) in the photo Tweet of said decklist.

It took me 6 hours of throwing these away from booster packs thinking its an ad card with a QR code before I realized these are actually new borderless lands 🤯
It always amuses me how blasé driving for some amount of time is in the US, but in the UK, a 40-minute drive is seen as a *huge chore*, to the point I know people who skip seeing family at Christmas because it's considered such a huge drive in the UK.
Looks like Vivien Reid is back for Ikoria, Lair of Behemoths! Previewed at the Hasbro Games Fair.
What are you hoping to see from the set? I'd love Augment or Level Up featured, something that makes me feel a bit of a timmy! 😅

You don't realize how long I'd had to keep my mouth quiet when seeing this promo from Outlaws of Thunder Junction.
OKO? AS A COWBOY? AND MAYBE TINYBONES? AND VRASKA?
This reminds me of a time when I was writing for Hipsters of the Coast and we were all looking at the metrics for that year, there was one person who read Hipsters of the Coast content on a Nintendo 3DS.
I think about that person from time to time, and hope they are doing okay.
