As a kid, I got FINAL FANTASY for the NES - and the series enchanted me ever since. So it's incredible to be design lead for Magic's set covering all 16 main games! (Big shout out to Yoni, vision lead.) Our team is amazing, and I can't wait for you to see (and draft!) it in 2025!

Absolutely bananas night last night doing night one of My Chemical Romance's new tour. They *literally* set the stage on fire:

In #MTGEternities Commander, you'll find some brand new dual lands that finish up some old cycles. But. Why here? Why now? And why are they in Commander decks and not a main set??. Today, I run you through the whole history - and what you can expect in the future!. #wotcstaff

More details on how we got here and what you can expect in an upcoming video, but for now just wanted to let you all know: no you aren't hallucinating when you see them, these didn't exist before. Stay tuned! :).

Last year, we finally made enemy Odyssey filterlands. That went well - and other land cycles still need finishing up. So starting with #MTGEternities we're gradually rolling out enemy cycling+tango lands in precons! (Just shown on @commandcast!) Commanders and Cubers rejoice!

The meta at Paupergeddon was FANTASTIC. 6 archetypes in T8, a diverse day 2 field, and the whole thing was won by CAW-GATE - one of just 5 copies in 1106 players!. In my 22 matches over the weekend, I faced 16 different decks! It's so varied and fun. Give Pauper a try!.#wotcstaff

There's a lot of ways to prepare for swimming through your High Tide matchup. This is, without a doubt, one of the most unique ones:

Out here at Paupergeddon in Italy, where a whopping 1106 players have shown up! That makes this. the biggest Pauper event EVER! . It's been amazing watching this community grow and grow. It's like 400 people larger than my first one in 2023. Let's play some Pauper!!. #wotcstaff

Today I have a totally normal video all about the new Sonic the Hedgehog x Magic Secret Lair!. Yep. Nothing weird happens. Especially not in the first 30 seconds. A link to this very regular Good Morning Magic episode in the replies. #wotcstaff

I've heard from a lot of people that they have been drafting FINAL FANTASY nonstop. And. Okay, yeah, so have I. What about the draft format do you think makes you keep coming back? What is the secret sauce? (Or, if you don't like it, tell me what you don't like!) .#wotcstaff.

How much does it make a difference to you that Rinoa creates a 1/1 legendary Dog named Angelo versus just creating a 1/1 Dog with the same art that is clearly Angelo?. Like the extra flavor nod? Not worth the extra words/ unique token? Same either way? Let me know!. #wotcstaff

At MagicCon I finally got to meet someone I've followed for years. When he introduced himself I flipped out and was like we have to take a photo!. This is the face behind @Cardboard_Crack. Thanks for all the laughs, commentary, and heartfelt introspection on Magic. ❤️.#wotcstaff
