I've met a lot of trans folk through Magic and metal and if I've learned anything about them it is that they are trying really fucking hard to be happy and the world does not make it easy. Please don't be one of the people making it even harder than it already is.

Super sad to see Oko go in Pioneer before we got to explore the format more deeply- I just feel like WOTC has just made another in a series of hell no I'm just kidding Oko is the worst in every format and I hope that card rots in Hell.

My son turned off his phone to tonight (almost certainly to hide his location) forgetting that his car tells us where it is. He appears to have driven 30 miles away, surely past at least ten Wawas, to go to the nearest Sheetz. This is some real Pennsylvania shit.

Someone should run a "no-ban" Standard tourney just so we can see just how absurd this format would be if it were the way it was actually designed.

Jamie was convinced. “Fine, fine. I’m sorry. I will play it out, your turn.”
I drew my card for the turn and Stone Rained his last land.

Companion Update: Meddling Mage now has the Companion mechanic. Deckbuilding restriction is that I have to think your deck is cool as hell. Submit to me one week before whatever event you are entering. Pretty sure WOTC signed off on this.

I still am a big Magic fan. I love watching streams. I love seeing what decks won random mtgo tourneys. but wow it continues to get harder and harder. the decks that are just “60 cards that probably should not have been made” are getting tiresome.

Taught a coworker to play Magic last week. Today I told her what Brainstorm did, and she asked if a good play was to follow it up with Lay of the Land to shuffle your deck.

The Dan Lanthier cheat video is honestly weirdly depressing to me. Just makes me think the reality is that many GP top 8s contains one or more people who cheated to get there. Makes me just not want to bother. Anteri, Dan Ward, now this clown. Boettcher. Makes me sick.

About 25 years ago I was practicing for a limited Pro Tour with
@JamieParke
. He was in high school or possibly even 8th grade and was a very small human at this point. Format was some flavor of Tempest block draft. Jamie and I got paired in our practice draft…

I don’t understand deck name discourse. Why would this be the spot where we say “it makes things tough for new players”? You literally can buy a box of boosters and not have any basic lands to play with and this is what we are worried about?

This tweet by itself should be enough to remove Trump from office.
Buffalo protester shoved by Police could be an ANTIFA provocateur. 75 year old Martin Gugino was pushed away after appearing to scan police communications in order to black out the equipment.
@OANN
I watched, he fell harder than was pushed. Was aiming scanner. Could be a set up?

This is terrible. Obviously there is a lot of truth to “there is no ethical consumption under capitalism”, but we all need to pick our battles. Hearthstone will be getting zero dollars from me.

The Magic Invitational in Malaysia was decided 21yrs ago today.
After 15 rounds across various formats, the final came down to Jon Finkel & Chris Pikula. They played all 5 matches but in the end, Pikula won!
This win earned him the chance to design his own card—

Nobody has any idea how bad this virus situation actually is. Maybe it is not much, like some people think. Maybe it is very, very bad as others think. The idea that people are unwilling to stay out of crowded places for a couple fucking days until we figure it out is unreal.

Andy Boswell beating people with Rakshasa Deathdealer was peak Magic: the Gathering. I was excited every weekend to watch a tourney that wasn’t even a Pro Tour. It was really fun then and now it definitely is not.

The popularity of Modern is really impressive when you think about how many players must quit the format forever after playing against Tron once. My most hated deck in Magic by a huge margin.

Did you know you can sit around all day watching Magic and playing Magic and listening to metal and then still have time to go out for Chinese food and then you can probably come home and listen to metal?

I think we should be allowed to have sound effects at live Magic tourneys. When my Delver flips the entire room should hear fifteen seconds of Raining Blood.

Lost one of my friends who I learned to play Magic with last night. He was much more than that, and a great friend in many ways, but gaming is where we had so many of our best times together. You can make friends your whole life, but your friends when you are 18 tower above.

The Magic community has always been a good place to see the lack of a coherent and communal approach to punishment/forgiveness/rehabilitation/redemption on full display. We really have no idea what we are supposed to do when someone messes up.

Just cannot believe that now it’s leftist or progressive or woke or whatever if you think you shouldn’t be allowed to murder someone for being an asshole on the subway. I just thought that was common sense and normal.

Not only is this logic fatally flawed in about a dozen ways but I also don’t give a single fuck what the “Founding Fathers” intended.
The Founding Fathers never intended for Washington D.C. to be a state.

is really about packing the Senate with Democrats in order to pass a left-wing agenda.
Just look at the DC voter registration data:
