This art is amazing. This is fantasy. This is what is supposed to bring us together. That’s should be the discussion but instead it’s about why he’s Black. This is why I am making the Cookout to be more inclusive and create a safe space. If you don’t agree then ✌🏾bye!
It’s the last day of Black History Month! Show me those beautiful MTG cards featuring your favorite Black characters! Let’s see if we can convince WOTC to give us more Black is Magic Secret Lair cards!

Check it out now🥳
This past weekend was the 2nd annual Cookout and I can’t describe how much fun it was. We showed up and showed out! This is the gathering. This is pure Black Joy. Thank you to everyone who came out to show love. This was amazing. 🙌🏾✊🏾🫶🏾
Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce that I’ll be joining the marvelous team of
#MTGAmbassador
! I’m going to keep bringing you the content you know and love and even more now! Let’s do this! Ambassadors…assemble!
@wizards_magic
You obviously know my stance against stuff like this but I genuinely want to know who in the MTG community thinks this is okay? A friend sent me this earlier and I’m shocked but also not. I’ve seen some pretty nasty stuff that lets me know we have a LOT of work to do.
This doesn’t discourage me. I want to see change out there so I’m putting it out there. The Cookout will always be a staple for big or small Black content creators. I know I’m the only one doing this but sometimes you have to be the change you want to see out there. ✊🏾
Been wanting to share this for a minute! Next year 2024 I’m opening the Cookout to the public! June 21-23 come out to LA to experience the fun! I’ll have more details soon but I’m looking for people who want booths and other sponsorships as well! Let’s get it! 😎
It’s Friday. Turn up. 😎 on the real though, I was born and raised in Flint, MI. I didn’t think I’d live past a certain age. I got out though. And I’ve met so many wonderful people. I will always try to inspire others to know that they have a way out too. 🫶🏾
The homie
@morita_collects
came up with a list of Black Commanders for the Cookout last year. Since it’s Black History Month I thought I’d share some for each day of this month! 🙌🏾
Alright, who’s going to
#CommandFestVegas
?!?! I have no idea what decks to bring 😅 I do want to get some games in with y’all! If you’re going let me know!!!!!! 🥳
I will never understand folks on YouTube in the comments. There are gonna be plenty of mistakes made, we are having fun and kicking it. Anyway, come watch me “cheat” in the new episode! 🤣
Yo! Starting in February every Thursday you can catch
@kurohitsuki
and myself streaming games from the TTJ discord for commander day! We will be live on Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok!!! TTJ in the building! Let’s get it! 😎
Comments like this crack me up. Your pod’s “casual” and ours are different. You’re spectating. You are watching how our pod gets down. We are kicking it and having fun! What is wrong with people? 😂
#MCVegas
was insane! So much fun!!! I filmed 9 episodes there all sponsored by
@MonarchMediaTW
I’m sorry I didn’t have the chance to kick it like I wanted to this time! Thank you to all the wonderful folks who came out to support the show or myself! Love you all! 🫶🏾
Does anyone have any tips on how to deal with being harassed? It’s been going on for weeks now. The individual has been blocked on every social media account and I’ve reported them to WOTC. They keep making new accounts. Is this something I need to go to the police about?

The Cookout ‘23 👨🏾🍳
These episodes are so special to me. I’m so grateful to everyone that came out to make them happen! 🫶🏾🙌🏾🥳
See you all in Vegas! Let’s sling some spells, maybe even do some D&D one shots!!!
Thanks
@wizards_magic
for the invite! Hyped to come kick it with everyone!
My heart was so full this weekend! Thank you for making this such a dope weekend Chicago! I felt the love!!! See y’all soon! 🫶🏾

#MagicTheGathering
Between this and YT this week y’all really trying to get me to cry 🥹 thank you all! I’m so happy to be here giving new folks a way to see themselves in this game too 🙌🏾
I spoke about advocating for others, speaking with your actions, reporting things to judges/LGS workers, and about how this can be done through content.
I highlighted
@tabletopjocks
as being a pillar for uplifting black voices within the gaming community. I talked about (c)
“Ok Arya, this time you can keep the box it came in 🤣”
Thank you
@wizards_magic
for this glorious mail day!
Looks like we have some brewing to do!
#MTGAmbassador
Love this comment from YT. Every episode of Tabletop Jocks is just having a camera on while I’m gaming with my friends. Some elements get heightened of course because a camera is on but I try to make it just like it would be if we got together and hung out. It’s a vibe. 😎
This epic playmat just dropped! Tabletop Jocks season 2 (Art by
@scrapbrainzone
) DBZ tribute! Thank you all so much for the continued support and love! Could not do this without y’all 🫶🏾
I really want to do a Cookout on the East Coast (New York) and in the South (Atlanta). That’s the plan moving forward! Just gotta figure out how to make it work!
#MTGAmbassador
I agree with this 100%. Counter the spell that makes the table and yourself lose the game, not the random spell and then not have one for the combo player the next turn. I don’t dislike blue, I think control players are essential. I dislike when control isn’t played well.
I think people would play more counter magic in casual EDH if they realized the point of casting them isn't to stop other people from having fun
The point is to counter spells that will keep you from winning the game
At the airport getting ready to head to
#MCChicago
so, no high fives, fist bumps, or even close contact like hugs and whatnot. Gotta protect the goods until I get back to LA. Hope everyone understands I’m mostly here to work this trip, we can get cards in next time! See you!
Building a deck is like a puzzle for me. It’s like chess. There’s so many variables and so many different ways I could play. I try and figure it out every game. It’s really fun. I love this game. 😎
I honestly have no idea what to post right now. I don’t have any crazy MTG takes. All that’s on my mind is that I hope people have the love in their lives that they deserve. Good vibes to everyone today! Sending it out like Goku’s spirit bomb 🙌🏾
I want to host more! I had such a great time on stage. Are there more events or conventions like this that need hosts? If anyone has any leads please let me know! ☺️
Thank you
@wizards_magic
for the free preview card! Go to the prerelease of Commander Masters July 28-30 and get it in stores everywhere August 4th!
#MTGCMM
Still looking for sponsors for this year’s Cookout ‘24! There’s booth space available still so hit me up if you want to contribute to this event! Tickets will be up soon and invites will start going out this week! June 21-23 save the dates!
We wake up to comments like these every day. It takes so much effort to be cruel. Spread love, I implore you. I’m taking a break from Twitter today, I do not have the bandwidth right now. 🤦🏾♂️
Today's video didn't even make it to the morning hours and already had to report three comments making reference to the N word.
Just another day at the office. 🙄
When you trip on the ground in front of you and break your finger 😂 getting X-rays now, hope it isn’t too bad! I’ll probably have a cast for Chicago though
Next week we're playing with Level 8 Commander decks! The one and only
